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 StatesThe rooms are minuscule. I had a hard time even finding a place to open my 24 inch suitcase fully. The bathroom is a one person at a time and there’s no other mirror so getting ready is a challenge. The staff is also extremely rude about the towels. I rinsed my face (after taking my makeup off) and got the remnants on a washcloth (and possibly self tanner?). I received a rude note about dirtying the linens and explained I would be charged $60 if it happened again. They are towels. This is a beach. I’m going to get them dirty. I ended up needing to dry my face with toilet paper because I was afraid of this occurring again. My friend and I have sensitive skin and the towelettes they provided to remove makeup are scented so we decided to avoid those as much as possible.
The location is fantastic. The property is two blocks from the beach and walking distance to many attractions.

United StatesThe queen room we booked is a bit too small. I would’ve booked a bigger room but it was sold out.
The front desk welcomed us with “welcome home”, that made us instantly felt like home. The room was thoughtfully-designed and well-equipped with even slippers and bathrobes that normal hotels don’t have. My favorite thing was the stones in the shower that you stand on and massages your feet. The bed is comfortable. The hotel is 5 min away from the beach but yet in a quiet location. The courtyard cafe is extremely cute. It feels a lot like a bed and breakfast (B&B) experience.

United KingdomThey only gave water for the first night, considering this was nearly £300 per night. I felt it was a little tight. The wall had 4 picture mirrors, which was great as a feature, but none were at a height for use. The only other mirror was in the bathroom.
Good location as we wanted to be close to the beach and shopping. The staff were helpful, and having access to the beach loungers was great. The room was clean with everything we needed. It's a character property and has an interesting history.

United StatesNot a problem for us but travelers should no that there is no elevator so if stairs are a problem request a first floor room.
Beautiful property. The room was exceptionally clean and the facility was well maintained. We enjoyed reading near the hot tub and both the pool area and coffee shop had a quiet secret garden feel which we appreciated. We enjoyed the live Jazz on a Friday night and ate one breakfast on the patio which was delicious. Would stay again if I were in the area.

RomaniaFirst and foremost, on 2 out of 3 nights we found cockroaches in the room, crawling on our bedside tables/covers. This is unacceptable for a hotel Secondly, the large towels were dirty and could not be used by us. I also have to mention the old windows the hotel has so you will hear the music and all the noise from the surrounding restaurants through, which makes your rest suffer.
Here I can mention the location, which is in South Beach a 5 minute walk from Ocean Drive, near several restaurants and clubs. The staff is very nice and always eager to help you with anything you need. Even though they retain that 100dollars deposit, in our case it was returned in full.

TurkeyEven if the door of the next fifth room closes, shakes my room inside with a big noise and you hear all the moves in the floor. And the room was very small. I could not find a Space to open my big luggage. The lady in the front desk was like soldier rather than a receptionist. I have just asked for a favour the change my dresses in the room after checked out and declined without thinking twice. It was 13.00 and I have just checked out. I think she could manage it but did not let me to do that which made me really unhappy. She could at least pretend as if helping.
The location was very good

United StatesAs above
I’ve stayed here many times, however, after Covid it seems that Cadet Hotel has found it necessary to cut costs by eliminating the telephone, beds and pillows that are less than comfortable, dimly lit bathroom with a shelf directly over the sink, the toilet a few inches away from a wall, a hair dryer that barely functions, and no shelves in shower. The staff is wonderful; friendly, helpful. The restaurant was only opened in the morning. I could not figure out how to use the tv, so it was pretty non-existent. Other than that, I love the location and it is quiet and very clean.

Very quaint and quiet hotel in a great location for Lincoln Lane and the beach. Comfortable room and bed. The pool area is small but there was no one there when I went. I felt like I was the only one there. They give you beach passes that entitle you to chairs and towel, but no umbrella.
