Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 StatesAnd ice machine for the hotel would be much appreciated
Its a nice little hotel on the beach. Rooms are very small and simple. But always clean. The front office has beach chairs and umbrellas to use which is very handy!

United StatesOur room was way too small for 3 people—we were bumping into each other. Also not a fan of the bathroom door which did not allow for any real privacy.
Great location. Surprisingly quiet in the middle of it all. Accommodating staff.

United StatesI didn't get the room I thought I had booked, however, staff offered to move us over when that room became vacant. We chose to just stay in the room they put us in, it worked out just fine. The shower had a shower curtain versus a glass door as pictured. Not a smartTV so nighttime watching was DirectTV with commercials. I didn't like the paint color at all (a pretty aggressive blue!) but I knew what I was getting into when I booked it!
Location, location, location. Really cannot beat it! The beach is steps to your right, restaurants steps to your left. Bicycle rental across the street. It truly could not have been any more perfect for an on-foot vacation. AC worked great, shower water hot, bed cozy. Our room had a huge window that let in a ton of natural light during the day and a peekaboo view of the ocean. Rented a "partial" ocean view room and that's what it was. Staff was incredibly friendly. Basic that met our needs.

ItalyThere weren’t an hair dryer. You have to pay the park and is not always available otherwise you have to find it by yourself. In our room there were some construction side next to it and in the morning we were hearing everything.

United StatesThe room with double beds is very tight. The sink in our room was also unattached on one side from the counter. $30 a day to park is ridiculous but it is a busy area and didn’t want to risk leaving car elsewhere.
Close proximity to the beach and walking distance to restaurants and shopping.

United StatesThe staff was tone-deaf: 1) on providing a lamp(s) (any lamps!) to go with the one (1) overhead light. A least one lamp was badly needed so you could see in the room without opening the window shades and so we could turn off the light from bed - this situation occurred because the ceiling of the room is painted a very dark blue and the room is poorly lit, (and it took almost 24 hours to receive the one and only lamp they provided) and 2) the room did not have any bedside tables, we were expected to the use the desk on one side (with no lamp!) and we had to borrow a table from the outdoor patio next to the office for the other side of the bed - because the staff was unresponsive! Also, the drawer space and clothing hangup area were woefully inadequate for 2 people to stay a week. There was constantly a different person at the front desk and that contributed to the poor service - although they were pleasant. The room needs to be changed to a different configuration to be more ergonomically useful and pleasant. The shower curtain should be mounted on a modern outwardly curved bar so you can turn in the shower without dragging the curtain on your shoulder.
