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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 StatesMotion sensor lights under the bed were just a tiny bit too bright but I love the idea!
The location was great...it is in a quiet area and can walk to everything in Carmel. We got a very warm welcome at checkin and included a small glass of champagne with a homemade cookie! Room was exceptionally clean, comfortable, nicely deocrated and had some modern highlights. The staff was exceptionally nice and extremely helpful. We brought wine and cheese to one of the many comfy sitting areas with a firepit and the staff happily brought us everything we needed for our small gathering! They went above and beyond to be sure we were happy! The included breakfast was a delicious mix of hot and cold selections of elegantly displayed food which you could enjoy in the dining room or beside a firepit. In the early evening they bake homemade pizzas in a wood fired oven outside! What a great idea!

United Statesno negatives at all about the hotel
The hotel was located just a short walk from the main Carmel downtown area but still felt very private and secluded. The rooms were immaculate and true to photos, while the ambiance of the hotel,amenities and facilities were perfect with everything we needed. However, the top reason why we would come back is the service. Stilwell has one of the best service staff that we have ever experienced where they really make you feel that you are their top priority.

United StatesThe Stillwell is a gorgeous, modern property in an excellent location right near the heart of Carmel. The room (king room with view of the street) was gorgeous and clean. The bed and linens were so comfy. The room had a Nespresso machine and anything you would need for a comfortable stay. The property is on the small side, which I appreciate, and lovely style. Breakfast was delicious and thoughfully curated. They are super pet friendly and were so welcoming to our dogs. They even gave them little welcome bags with treats and a poop bag! Free parking is an added bonus as well. We appreciated everything about this place and the staff.
