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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

We were so pleased with the breakfast. The variety of protein options was great! The free happy hour each night was also appreciated! The location was perfect. The staff was exceptionally friendly.

United StatesIt was a bummer that the pool heater was broken. We spent a little time relaxing around the pool but couldn't go in. Also, maybe invest in some bigger towels. I thought both the bathroom and pool towels were small and thin.
Great location, on the beach plus easy walking distance to train station and downtown Santa Barbara. Loved having a balcony where we could sit outside and look out over the harbor and ocean.

Hungaryroom was a connecting room, it felt like we had roommates, because we heard everything from the other room. The walls are thin everywhere in the US, so it’s kind of common, but for this price a non-connecting is expectable

United StatesUpon check in, the room I was given was already occupied by someone else. Kind of a mix up, considering I arrived after 10pm. The room I did receive was nice, clean, but noisy in the morning. Right next to the staff cleaning closet (8am start) and the laundry room. It was nice hearing them get along, but it was pretty noisy. My refrigerator was not working, but I didn't need to really use it anyhow. No room service unless you request, but it was fine for me. Pool is kind of in the shade, in the center of the building, so don't go here if you intend the pool to be your focal. The beach was fine for me. Ample free parking was a plus as well, considering the parking time restrictions on the street. Please update the locks that you have on the inside of the doors, near the pool rooms. A chain doesn't give a lot of comfort.
The breakfast was honestly great. Many hotels in the area do not include breakfast. Long lines at many of the restaurants in the area made me happy that it was included. Eggs, cereal, coffee, fruits, breads, meat. The staff was friendly, and also gave some good recommendations for off the beaten path type restaurants. The location can't be beat. Really walkable to all the cute little shops, and the Warf. Lots of free parking! Cute little happy hour with cheese, wine and grapes! The room was clean, and the heater/AC was perfect. No issues.

United StatesThe room had about 4 broken cosmetic things; the plantation shutters, the AC/Heating unit worked great but had duck tap underneath, the light switch in the bedroom did not work. Also, on the breakfast, there is room for improvement in regards to the coffee; maybe an automatic coffee machine that can do expresso, latte, frapuccino...
The location was absolutely amazing. Beach across the street, the pier and the marina within walking distance, restaurants galore. Clean, great team and service, and comfortable beds. The breakfast was fantastic.

United StatesReally would have been great to not have to request pack in play more than one time. I would prefer the music played in the breakfast area was not Oldies and was instead something interesting and less creepy.
Great location and friendly staff. Room was clean but did need to request a pack in play upon arrival after requesting in the booking and requesting a second time via text message. Very convenient that there are free EV chargers on site that work great and are available. Other EV drivers were generally not charger hogs which was nice. It was also nice that the breakfast included fixings so you could also make a lunch for on the go!!
