Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 AmericaThe room was large, and the view was great. The staff was friendly, considerate, and helpful. The attention to detail, especially for the breakfast and outdoor patio seating, made it delightful to sit and eat outside with a beautiful view. There were many choices on the breakfast menu, more than any other lodging I have stayed at. Accommodation was made for our service dog, also.

United States of AmericaThere wasn't anything that we did not like.
The was nice for the most part. There were a few big houses going up across the street that kind of ruined it. The room was very clean and the staff were very friendly. The complimentary breakfast was delicious which was a surprise. Just right to start the day. The Vista is located so that it is easy to get everywhere you would want to go yet still away from the crowds. The beach is very pretty and within walking distance but has a lot of parking if you want to have your vehicle close by.

United States of AmericaBreakfast is sort of a joke given the price for the room. Hardboiled eggs, yogurt and sweet bread, given out at a takeout window in a cold outdoor location. Maybe they do better in the summer. We took our meager breakfast back to our room to eat.
The room had a lovely view and also cooking facilities and a table and chairs. So we could eat our supper in the room. And the hotel is near two grocery stores which was useful. Good Harbor beach is close and was lovely for a sunset walk.

United States of AmericaThe only downfall (and it’s the norm anymore) is while I understand not smoking in the rooms, I wish there were more areas outside to smoke.
Good location, very nice room. We got in later than planned and were looking for a restaurant that would be open. Laura, the owner, checked online and couldn’t find anything open. She made us a pot of coffee and gave us some snacks. Very sweet lady with a very nice place.

Offerings at free continental breakfast were extensive. Staff were friendly & attentive. Would definitely return and recommend to anyone.
