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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 StatesSeems like there is a new owner. The restaurant/bar has been closed. Light in the bathroom was out, no towels in the room, no blowdryer. The hot tub has been closed the last two times we have been there and now the pool had been drained. Male staff member at front desk was not helpful. Asked if him about a blowdryer, he said he would look and call me back. Twenty minutes later I went down to speak with him, he was watching videos on his phone with his feet on the desk.
Location is perfect! Room was clean.

United StatesThere was practically zero cook ware or utensils when I got to my room. I asked for some to and received an odd mishmash of stuff. But it took them days to come up with a single metal spoon. I had a couple of tiny plastic spoons instead. The place needed paint and the hallways smelled really strongly of carpet or other cleaning solution. Maybe from cleaning dog messes. There were barking dogs across the hallway. Towels were worn and stained. Same for the bed clothes. Some of the staff were nice but some were sort of sullen. I asked politely for more paper towels and the front desk person just glared at me, went into a closet, came out with a roll and handed it to me without speaking a single word.
The basics were fine. The shower was hot, no mildew, no leaks. The stovetop and microwave / convection oven in good shape. The fridge pretty large and worked well. No icemaker but ice trays provided.

United StatesThe mattress sorely needs replacement. Mismatched decor as though they are re-supplying furniture from thrift stores. Some lamps didn't work and one was sticky to the touch where it could have easily been wiped down. Pool was out of commission.
Ease of access to seminar location at a much more manageable price range. Unit was spacious. Having a kitchen facility is great, and even a stove top was remarkable.

United StatesOld dirty tub, broken micro and stove top. Very noisy neighbors at 2am and 4 am. I was only there 2 nights. The maintenance guy replaced my microwave and got my phone plugged in but couldn't be done until next day so one of the two nights I was there I didn't have these. Also carpets really dirty.
The staff was friendly and helpful but I needed help that I shouldn't have needed. Things didn't work on the room. The microwave was broken. The stove was almost impossible to turn on and one burner was broken. More kitchen supplies were needed. The phone was unplugged behind a very heavy dresser. I was there 2 nights and one night I was awoken at 4am by a person blasting the radio while singing and using something to tap with it. That's when I found out the phone was unplugged because I couldn't call the front desk. The next night it happened again at 2am. I called front desk and 30 minutes later it stopped. Room was pretty clean but carpets in room and hall are so dirty they could be replaced. The bathtub needed work too. The staff was extremely friendly so I had no issues with them but the other issues I had to deal with made for a very mediocre stay.

United StatesThe carpets are so smelly and dirty. The rooms smell and the stairwell’s smell. Strong odor of animal pee None of the posted amenities are available No breakfast No laundry No gym No pool They only clean on Tuesday and thirty request. So if you arrive Wednesday and leave Tuesday you have a six day stay with no cleaning no new towels nothing. The towels are so small and so thin. No fan in bathrooms so towels stay muggy Very disappointed that the studio six website shows a pool yet it’s been closed for months. Booking has so many listed amenities that are not available. You assume you are paying for use of these amenities but then you get here and there are absolutely none. Pretty dishonest Trash is all over the parking lot. The door keys do not work on any exterior entrance. It seems like the owners are not interested in having a clean reputable hotel. They are letting it turn into a slum.
Great location. You can walk to the beach close to food and other places. Dog friendly hotel rooms have allot of space and a full fridge

United StatesI have stayed in this hotel before, and I was disappointed to see what has become of it. During check-in, they gave us a room that stunk, no sheets, and it wasn’t ready. I went back, and the receptionist asked me to look at two rooms and to choose the one I liked the most, and we did. The room was clean, but we didn’t notice that it had no towels, and in the kitchenette, there was only one glass. I had to get the towels, and the following morning, I asked for cups and silverware; plates, pots, and pans were also missing. The hotel hallways stunk, the carpet was dirty, the trash cans were full of garbage, and there was garbage on the hallway floors. In the morning, everything was much better, but we were unfortunate to see what the hotel turned into because we could compare the before and after and we like the hotel. I really hope they get their act together because it’s way far of what the hotel used to be.
The location, the room is big, nice and comfortable.

United StatesStaff was not as friendly as my previous visits. When I asked the front desk for pool towels, the young man had his feet up on the counter and talking on his cell phone. He said they didn't have pool towels. I mentioned the lady who was at the desk the day before gave me towels. He said she shouldn't have because they were short on towels. I then mentioned they were pool towels not room towels, which he then said I need to use my room towels. I said again, no the pools towels have a blue stripe. Upset He got up and said hold on, went to the back office and brought me to little hand towels and said that is all they had. Pool area was dirty and only four chairs. This must be a new owner, hopefully they will improve on customer service and cleanliness otherwise they may loose clientele.
Great location! Clean room and comfortable.

When I checked in, the staff wouldn't even stand up to greet us or tell us about where our room was or go over anything they just handed me the key. Also the room smelled horrible. And there was a hole in the shower that made us feel uncomfortable so we used a towel to stuff in it.
