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 AmericaWe had a great stay at Laguna Cliffs, unfortunately it was only for one night since we were catching a ferry to Catalina Island the next morning. The rooms were clean and nicely appointed. we enjoyed the pool and the hot-tub and a beautiful breakfast in the morning in the restaurant downstairs. Very nice!

United States of AmericaThe rooms are tiny. The buildings are obviously dated. Not really modern in any sort of way. The pool isn’t anything exciting. Again everything is fine, just definitely not a $700/night experience
The hotel is fine. Obviously a great location. The rooms, the facilities are just NOT a $600-$700/night worth of an experience. I travel the world ALL the time and I have stayed in far nicer places (with a much more expensive experience) for these prices. We had to be there for a wedding. Would not go back for those prices. Would for ~$300/night.

United States of AmericaRoom & location of resort was nice however my belief is that it was overpriced. Food tasted good but overpriced. I didn't ask however I did not know where to find ice
Nice view from room. A little noisy at times due to the proximity of the kids pool/ play area. Food was good, however my belief was that it was overpriced. Breakfast serving staff was excellent. Spa service was excellent. The East side access gate to the adult pool area was inoperable, not opening with room key, had to be proped open with a rock. Poolside service was excellent. Valet service was excellent.

CanadaThe staff was cordial, professional and polite and helpful. They weren't friendly or welcoming...I think this is probably just the case when going to large brand chain hotel.
Loved the location, the grounds, the view, the balcony in the room, the proximity to the beach and great food a short drive away..the kids amenities were fantastic..my three year old didn't want to leave.

United States of AmericaThe price was a bit on the high side, and in that cost range I feel breakfast should have been included. However, I also fully understand the problems faced by the hotel & service industries due to the pandemic, inflation, and problems retaining service employees. These issues affect all other hotels, so it is just a general observation. Overall, an excellent stay at a beautiful location. Also please inform whoever hires and trains employees that they have done an excellent job! Ray Moore
Hotel is nothing short of beautiful, the location is outstanding even for Dana Point, CA. All hotel employees encountered were excellent in all matters, could not ask for a better service experience. A small issue came up when I was attempting to print my airline boarding pass for my flight home and I was not able to do so in the business center. I asked for assistance and received instant attention that resolved my issue quickly and properly. Please extend my thanks to the staff, especially the employees in the lobby and front desk, and all those serving breakfast. I would most definitely come back for another stay, and I am fully aware that the Marriott at Laguna Cliffs has many top notch competitors in the hotel business. Thanks for a great stay, Ray Moore
