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...).

AustraliaThe only recommendation I would give is to provide another towel for the bathroom as the shower recess wasn’t great.
Stayed here for 4 nights. We had a comfy room overlooking the pool. The room was clean and quiet. Had the best nights sleep during our US here. The location is good, not far away from local shops and cafés, however to get into downtown I would recommend to drive or use an UBER.

United StatesHousekeeping! There was a gigantic spider web in the corner of the bathroom window. There was an unused comdom left laying on top of the phone. Also, there was no bottom sheet. There was a mattress protector only and I have to wonder if those get changed each time.
The staff were all very nice. The room was comfortable. I was able to ask for a room on the ground level and it had a nice patio area overlooking the pool.

ColombiaBetter shower pressure. The price $200 for a queen room I felt it's a little bit over the benefit delivered. Most of facilities are old and the staff was only fair.
It's ok, the room had a exit to the pool with chair to talk and stay. Good tea, good bath services.

JapanIt’s a bit loud in the mornings; we were able to hear some chatter from other rooms and outside. Nothing too terrible, but could be a disturbance for others.
Pleasant stay and staff were wonderful. Rooms were simple, but comfortable. Quiet at nighttime.

United StatesI was put in an upstairs room at first and they are pretty old so I asked for a better room, I wouldn’t want to have stayed there.
I liked being by the pool on the first floor and the room was comfortable. I had dinner and drinks with friends at the restaurant and that was very nice too!

United StatesTV was small (old eyes have a hard time seeing the smaller screen since we're used to large screens now!) Not a deal breaker by any means.
Loved the landscaping...all the lemon trees were delightful. Room was really comfortable. Bed was exceptionally comfy. Could have used another pillow or two, but we didn't ask so it's not a criticism. Nooks and crannies of room were a little dirty, but overall, clean, updated, and decent room for 2 adults. Assigned room upon arrival had a bed that was significantly higher at the foot than the head - we went and asked for a change and were given a slight upgrade. The courtyard/pool area was really lovely, and had it been warmer, would have been nice to relax in had we had more time.

United StatesThe bathroom toilet was too low and the lid was dated as it slammed shut. The seat was chipped and one of the underneath cushion pads was missing. The toilet should be replaced.
exceptional staff (efficient and polite) - incredible value - great S.B. location (midway between the beach and upper State Street - quiet - comfortable We needed a room for a quick overnight stay. This hotel is the greatest value in S.B. It was more than we anticipated. The room was large with ample furnishings. I liked the two bathroom sinks, one in the bathroom and one outside the bathroom door across from the closet. Even the restaurant was an unexpected treat when we picked up dessert to take to our room. We will definitely stay there in the future.
