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 AmericaBathroom door wasn't closing properly and there was no privacy lock. Also looked like vanity was replaced with new more modern but baseboards were not added in that area. Not a big deal just an observation. Beds are squeeking and it was waking me up every time.
The room was clean. The pool and the spa were great. Very comfortable temperature and very clean.

United States of AmericaTakeaway breakfast was a nice thought but not the healthy fuel needed to start the day.
Two restaurant options within walking distance, and downtown Pacific Grove is a short drive away. You can also walk to the beach to catch the sunset. The pool was warm, the hot tub was clean, and the staff were great.

United States of AmericaWe were in an end room and while it was quiet, there wasn't much of a view, but that was fine, because the fireplace in the room, provided ambiance. The set up of the chairs and coffee table could have been better - but it was not an issue.
The room was large and the bed was comfortable. It was also a very quite room The hot-cooked breakfast you receive when staying on the Cottage side of the street is wonderful. Very much like what you would find at an Irish B&B.

United States of AmericaThe breakfast was poor , a bag with a apple, granola bar, and a muffin. The balcony looked like you could fall through. Bathroom was musty and the door should open out, you had to squeeze to use the toilet.
The room was clean and the fireplace worked, which made it cozy. The staff was nice. Located away from town so it is quiet.

United States of AmericaUpgrade the beds and bed linen
Breakfast was a bag with a muffin, apple and juice, which was fine, but not needed. Just keep the coffee with some fruit out! Beds need to be replaced with an upgrade of bed linen. I think they could charge a little more and accomplish this. I like not having my room cleaned everyday at a hotel! The location was great. Parking great. Staff super nice! Quiet.

United States of AmericaThe King suite had a very large table that took up a lot of the space. An old couch that was small and not very comfortable, and was in the far corner of the front room. We found the layout a bit odd with all the wasted space. The room really is cute, just needs a better set up. The lights were not very bright, and the window in the bedroom lacked a screen so we had to keep it shut so our dog would not jump out. I would have loved to have it open for the fresh sea air. It took a long time for the hot water to reach the bathroom. I cringed at the thought of wasting so much water just to get the hot water.
The location of the Lighthouse Inn was perfect. The hotel is 2 blocks from the beach, and in a quiet end of town. We stayed in the King Suite, which was above the office, and had a lot of windows with plantation shutters. We were in the tree line & felt we were in the tropics. The room was really cute. We paid the extra $10 per day for breakfast, which was a great value. The menu had many options. The wait-staff was friendly and helpful, and the food was really good.
