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 StatesThe beds are not comfortable and you cannot block out the light coming in from the very bright lights out on the patio. It made it hard to sleep.
It's a great location. We liked the view and the patio/deck from the room.

United StatesTight parking spaces if packed, but the whole area seemed like that anyways.
It was convenient, clean, and quiet. Although there weren’t many people staying in the area I was, it was a good night’s sleep. Like 10 to 15 mins walk to the beach, passing a cemetery. lol. I wish I could have stayed longer to explore more of the area.

United StatesI wasn't a fan of the room. There were a lot of defects in the room. The headboard to one of the beds had holes in it, the wicker chair was falling apart on the leg, the "bar" sink leaked even though we didn't use it. The holes in the bathroom door. The dressers had stains and scuffed up tops. The slider screen door didn't shut all the way. I think they need some remodeling. The rooms have potential but this trip didn't wow me.
We liked the balcony view and the close drive to the ocean. The staff was very friendly. The manager Even spoke with my husband about her family and my husband showed her an app on his phone about baseball cards auctions. Even though they don't advertise it. There is a mini breakfast, they are packed in cute boxes with a croissant, Bay Belle cheese, a little heart cookie, and mints. There is coffee and boxes of honest juice with a bowl of apples if you want.

SwitzerlandThe breakfast was poor. The staff no really heartful and welcoming. Business as usual atiitudes. But the place is okay... the beach is wonderful, I could see whales breaching. But the whole Pacific Grove Peninsula has been ruined by thousands of chalets and villas, it's 95 % private property, no place for a nature lover or amateur for authentic places. Therefore the attitude of the staff perfectly reflected the atmosphere out there in addition with mist and chilly temperatures.

The staff were super nice and attentive. The rooms were comfortable and clean. The Wi-Fi was easy to connect to. I loved how cute the area was and close to everything.

United StatesIt would have been ideal if there would have been an elevator. We were on the second floor and there was a lot of stairs to carry our suitcases up. Because of our age, it made it a little difficult. Next time, I’ll ask for the ground floor.
Staff was very friendly. The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. We were visiting a friend and the location was very close to where she lives.

United StatesI have stayed here before in the past but the property has become run down. What passed for rustic and funky has become rather shabby . Our second floor room was hard to reach due to mobility issues. The two flights of stairs were torture devices.
Great location and close to all in wonderful Pacific Grove. The room was clean .

United StatesThe rooms are layered in different levels, and so it's easy to see each other's rooms if the windows and doors aren't closed off with shutters since our rooms.had balconies. The shower is low, so it is not ideal for tall people.
The view from our room on the second floor had a direct view of the ocean. Quiet and peaceful.

FranceThe idea of the "French" family was to find the American-style motel off the beaten path. So, we weren't disappointed. Close to Monterey, Carmel, and the 17 Mile Drive. The US-made motel is ideally located, with comfortable beds, spacious rooms, coffee maker... everything is perfect... with peace and quiet (in May). A big thank you to the reception team who connected us on the chat for our arrival.
