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...).

NorwayCleaning. The room was mainly straightened up but not cleaned. Considering the dark dirt in the toilet and the thick layers of dust in many places, particularly those above the eye-level, the rooms are not properly cleaned between customers either. If the hotel invests in a professional cleaning service, it will really shine.
The first impression was really good. A very welcoming reception team, a good looking room, comfy bed. The hotel is situated close to the beach and shops. Beach towels are provided. U also get a coucher for 2 beach chairs (you pay for umbrella separately $20 to the beach stuff, if u need one).

United StatesWhat I did not like was they don’t tell you that the 2waters,2sodas and 2beers that were in the mini fridge in the room are being charged if you consume them.I wouldn’t consume a small bottle of water for $5.00. I really thought it was from the house. So I end up paying like $35.00 for 2 waters, 2 sodas and 1 beer. Luckily we didn’t consume the small bottles of champagne, which they’re were 2 of them. I can’t imagine how expensive that would be. Another annoying thing I didn’t like was that we checked in On Friday, we were so exhausted all we wanted was to rest which was impossible because the room above ours were making so much noise about 2am it was a non stop, not sure if it was people walking or horses. Saturday I slept better, it was very quiet, I guess they checked out.
What I liked about the property was that it was A short walking distance to South Beach, the main streets like Ocean Drive and Collins where all the restaurants, shopping areas are.

This hotel is just off of the main street so it is a little quieter and smaller if you want a more chill experience. It is a short walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants.

It’s a 5 min walk to the beach. I also enjoyed the ambiance of the hotels pool and dining facility.

United StatesWe were overall very disappointed with the room size and its worn out furniture. What a let down, we thought we booked a completely different hotel! Also the room was not very cleaned, for example we could not use the drawers for clothes (they seemed dusty and sandy) and we had to keep our clothes (for five nights) in our suitcases. However what really disappointed us was the fact that we could not use any of what we thought were "common" hotel areas. The very pretty patio is only for the cafe customers (an americano costs $6) and if you want to do a bit of work or jump on a quick conference call there is literally nowhere to sit other than the tiny bedroom. When we tried to sit in the "pool" area we were told we could not stay there after 6:00 PM. I understand one should be on vacation but at times when working remotely one tries to squeeze some hours of work here and there. Unfortunately, the overall vibe of this hotel did not really match ours.
The location of the hotel was very convenient. We also appreciated how the staff was very amenable and tried to help us whenever they could. We did not like the musty smell in the first room they gave us and promptly switched us to another room.They made us a pot of hot water at night when we returned at the hotel (there is no kettle in the bedroom). Staff at the cafe was really nice to us.

United StatesIf I have to find a critique, it would be that the furniture/fixtures were a little cheap, i.e. a plastic fold up chair on the patio, water dispenser in the lobby was clogged/slow, bedroom furniture appeared to be from Target. I am not complaining I just felt it didn't match up with the overall design and aesthetic of the place.
The staff was very friendly. The hotel was clean and a great location.

United StatesWe had a nice stay at this hotel. The facilities are very clean, housekeeping is fantastic, and the location is perfect for Miami Beach. Unfortunately our stay was ruined on the last day by a rude and untrained receptionist. At checkout we had a room charge added for a restaurant order - we never ordered from the restaurant and did not charge anything to the room. We assume someone else charged it to our room or one of the staff misread or misheard someone else's room number for ours. Unfortunately the receptionist was completely unwilling to believe us and that we had to pay the bill to check out. We were also given the option of waiting for 2 weeks, which is when she said the manager would return next time. The restaurant manager contacted us later and apologized for their mistake wrongly charging us.
