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 KingdomThe hotel is a little far from downtown but we knew this when we booked. It was great for us as we are happy to walk long distances, but it may not be for everyone.
This place was amazing and I thoroughly recommend it. We stayed here for a short stop over whilst moving on to LA, but it was just right for us. Great people, great location.

United StatesThe rooms are an outdated they need a remodel. But we’re clean. Maybe on a Friday night don’t close down the bar at 10 PM. We were visiting with a couple we had just met and the employee came and turned all the fires off. On a Friday night I would think you would keep it open for people to enjoy the pool and fire pit area, which is a great touch for that location.
Last minute stop rooms available, restaurant and bar on the property.

United StatesClean, quiet, convenient to everywhere. All rooms were large with a nice dressing area, and spacious bathroom. Loved the plank floors, vs carpeting. One of the 3 rooms had a patio which was a delightful place to hang out for all of us. The restaurant is a favorite of the locals as well as the guests.

United StatesParking was very limited and the driving area was too narrow to go two directions safely with some drivers.
It was very niche and had a fun 1960’s vibe with the architecture. It was very well maintained and had beautiful landscaping. I loved how many rooms had courtyards off the back of the room. The on site restaurant is excellent.

United StatesWalls were thinner than I prefer and I could hear my neighbors when they spoke loudly and stomping feet from upstairs unit.
Decent location. Away from the hustle and bustle but still very close to downtown SB (State Street) and just a short drive to UCSB. Bonus points- a nice park is a short drive away where me and the boy were able to get a bit of baseball practice in!
