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.).

United StatesI did not confirm whether the property renovations were complete , but I would suggest the glass slider doors be upgraded in general and to block the noise from the pool area on weekends. Also a towel rack and better vanity sink lighting seemed needed to us . I would return for a short stay and I plan to return to the restaurant
Another Nice renovation of an older motel-style Palm Springs property. Location in a quiet area, yet close to downtown and Indian canyon . Great area to explore by jumping on the bikes available for guests. Restaurant and associated staff were wonderful. Only had a one night stay , but relaxed in pool area with nice seating . Beds were very comfortable. All staff I encountered were so friendly and accommodating.

FinlandSuite was smelling some old. There were two tv sets in the room, both were dead. The remote controls have to be charged and both tv sets to be rebooted. They charged 100 $ deposit by arrival, this was also deducted from my account.
Good style, we had the suite but it was bit smelling. Std. room is better if you are two people only. Pool and pick nic areas are very good. We like the style of the hotel in total though.

United StatesNo coffee maker or microwave in room :( Would have loved to be able to heat leftovers and make a morning coffee without having to leave the room to buy one. No phone either. Room could’ve been cleaner, rug is very dirty. Definitely need a bigger trash can, the one in the room can fit a few wrappers and a Starbucks cup. Felt bad leaving trash on the desk but it fit nowhere else.
great location, beautiful property, had a great time at the pool enjoying drinks and food. Great staycation! A bit pricey for what it is but would come back. fingers crossed the next time there’s coffee makers in the rooms!

The pillows and blankets were so fluffy and comfy! The lunch and cocktails poolside hit the spot! Stayed for a night to decompress and that is exactly what I did!

AustraliaIt was very hard to get a response from concierge staff, both online or by phone, or even in person. It seems the system is relying on online service, but we did not get a response to various queries and at the end of last day we couldn’t split the room service account.. This needs to be improved as it let the experience down. At this price point, you expect personal service on an as needs basis.
Amazing design with views of the mountains. a great vibe with an interesting story. We booked the deluxe suite and it was spacious and very comfortable. The pool is fantastic, including the food drinks and music, not to mention the mountain backdrop.

United StatesVery sterile. A covid era cool place with no soul sadly. the no contact no staff is not attractive despite the beautiful design AND I misplaced a ring that day and reached out to the property to see if they would be able to check BUT nobody bothered to reply. Again NO staff and no comms. Disappointing.
great late arrival checking (at 11pm) friendly staff who clearly enjoyed working and was doing late night shift and early morning! super efficient, kind and positive energy. He deserves a raise

United StatesThe lobby is a little awkward without a desk to check in. The breakfast/bar area should be open all day. At 11:00 apparently lunch is served on the pool deck but it would be much nicer for guests if they could order and sit in the breakfast area.
The rooms and out door patio was wonderful.

AustraliaI think they are still ironing out a few processes as well as working out how to work together as a team. Breakfast is moving from pastries and coffee to full buffet, so I think once the experience of using the facilities becomes more than just using the pool and sleeping in your room there will be better value for money.
We thought the online photos were better than the accommodation in person. Location was great and the staff very friendly and helpful. We will keep an eye on the reviews, and maybe stay again when we are in town for Modernism Week in 2026! The Bed was very comfortable. Life House could separate itself from the rest of what's on offer in Palm Springs with great food to attract patrons to stay or eat. All the best and thanks for the stay.
