Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

CanadaOne of our cupboard drawers would not close and flapped fully open the whole time. I could hear people literally walking and conversing above me on second floor. Decor is very underwhelming. No water bottles provided. When checking in, the lady did not even look at me. A very cold welcome. In fact, not a welcome. Police came to a domestic dispute to one of the rooms which was not the hotels fault, but set the tone for our arrival. The room had a very clean smell of bleach in the bathroom. I’d say it was clean. Bed was not super comfortable, I’d give it a 5/10 for comfort.
it’s close to the ocean and mostly a quiet area.

United StatesConfusion on booking. Phoned motel on a Sunday and said we had a reservation for Tuesday to Friday and asked if we could have a downstair's room. Was told that our room was on 2nd floor but she would make the change. When we arrived on Tuesday she told me we were booked to arrive Monday and we were charged for Monday night ($184) and our reservation was canceled. I reminded her that I called and she did not mention that the booking began on Monday not Tuesday. I'm partially to blame, but I felt management was not at all understanding and just wanted their money. Reluctantly we did spend two nights.
Location and cleanliness.

United StatesThere was no breakfast. The floors were filthy! We got into the tub and black came off our feet from walking barefoot. Not sure if it was the carpet or the bathroom floor. There was hardly any counter space. The rate was ridiculous for what we got.
The bed was comfortable. Location was good.

United StatesThe refrigerator hummed loudly all day and night; even when set at a medium temperature. The dimmer on the fan hummed as well. The armchair showed visible wear snd dirt on the arms.
The location was great- right across from Asilomar grounds and getting to the state beach was a quick walk. There was some traffic noise in the early evening, but it was quiet overnight. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable.

United StatesThe worst hotel stay I have ever had. I did not sleep at all because the mattress was so firm it felt like I was sleeping on the cement. The pillows as well. I tossed and turned all night and ended up leaving very early I was so frustrated. There was no water pressure in the shower and the shower curtain did nothing to help avoid large amounts of water getting on the floor. The room was right next to office and smaller then what appeared online. I felt like I got the room no one wants, it was different then the others.I felt like the deal booking had going on was the reason. The rest of my visit to Pacific Grove was unfortunately ruined due to my no sleep and aching body.
The staff was friendly and they allowed dogs. I liked how it was close to beach , a nice walk.

United StatesContinental breakfast was not happening due to Covid restrictions. Not Deer Haven's fault.
We were surprised at how quiet it was there. We couldn't hear any noises coming from the other rooms! Excellent. We were within 5 to 10 minutes from all the attractions we chose to see. Tidepools, Beach, Butterfly Sanctuary, Restaurants. It is really quiet and we loved that we were right across from Asilomar Conference Grounds. We had plenty of space to walk our dogs. There were deer there also! We really liked that Deer Haven is Dog Friendly!!
