Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an accommodation that you booked through our platform if you stayed there, or if you got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize in detecting fake reviews submitted to our platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaI loved how we were served breakfast though I wish we were given the option of breakfast items. When we checked in we were asked if we had dietary restrictions, which we do not, though was not asked if we had certain preferences for our continental breakfast. 2 out of 3 of us only ate the breakfast for half the stay because didn’t like everything that was served. Please think about having guest fill out options on what they want served in their breakfast baskets for each morning.
Loved that it was cozy with a fireplace and patio. Nice sized bathtub/shower.

United States of AmericaNothing. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
Stayed in a king, ocean view room. It was upstairs with a modest sized balcony (but it was chilly so we didn't use it anyway). The room was spacious, comfortable and well decorated. Housekeeping excellent, ditto the front desk. We decided to stay an extra day - no problem. The hotel is on the northeast corner of the village, uphill one block at a minimum and three or four from Ocean, the main east-west street. The grade up for the two of us octogenarians wasn't tough for younger people, it wouldn't even be much of a warm-up for that late afternoon glass of wine. Oh, and Keurig machines in the room with two free cups a day. There's a market down Junipero that sells 10-box packages if you want more.

United States of AmericaOur room way near the maids quarters, so during the day time it was loud and we had a hard time taking a nap in the room. Wish we had a balcony because I brooked so far advance and we seemed like we got the worst room.

United States of AmericaThe breakfast in a basket was very good and convenient. The location was in easy walking distance to restaurants and the beach. The room was spacious and comfortable. We really liked the cold water dispenser in the courtyard.

CanadaWe paid for an ocean view room but it was only a partial view which was disappointing especially because there were rooms with full views. We paid to upgrade for the ocean view so was a bit disappointing

United States of AmericaI can't think of anything I didn't like.
I liked our variety of breakfasts of pastry, cereal, fruit, and hardboiled egg waiting outside our door every morning in a little basket. I liked the location in the middle of Carmel with a short walk of 2 blocks to Ocean Avenue. The bed was very comfortable, and the room was quiet. The staff were great, and the view of Point Lobos and the Pacific was the icing on the cake!

United States of AmericaRoom was a little out dated, such as the carpet, bed, and the pillows were super tiny/small. The bathroom area was also small, so we had to take turns washing up.
The room was okay. Fireplace in the room was nice, and the bathroom looked updated and clean.

United States of AmericaThought the hottub might be bigger. Would have liked a coke machine. And it's a long walk up back from the beach... uphill!
Very lovely in almost every way. We had the Junior Mountain Suite, and it's such a great room to spend 5 nights in!

Rudy at the front desk provided outstanding customer service. NO AC in the room so if we did not have the window open, the room lacked ventilation or circulation-made it difficult to sleep. Picnic basket was a nice touch. Perhaps offer breakfast in a social area and have a wine/simple happy hour?

United States of AmericaThe property was lovely and was within an easy walk of anywhere in town. The room was clean, spacious, and quiet, with a very comfortable bed and bedding. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that our stay included a free continental breakfast, which was excellent and left in a lovely wicker basket outside the room each morning. We would definitely stay there again.

United States of AmericaCrowded tight streets, construction trucks everywhere, extremely poor lighting when driving in dark and risky with early morning joggers during dark. Would not recommend driving unless daylight
Room adequate, bit crowded with furnishings. Location not the best, at top of hill, limited tight parking if hotel would be full. Breakfast basket more than adequate. Loads of construction all over Carmel, no street parking in town and it was off month of January. Could not imagine how it would be in busier season
