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.).

United StatesIt would be awesome if the pool was open until midnight, because there was so much to see in San Diego, only if there was an option to have a quiet night swim … like after ten it would be quiet hours.
The Outdoor Pool Security 24/7 Restaurants Bar Options and the old school look to the hotel .. feels like home, other then other hotels that feel too new and the paint still smells.

CanadaThere was quite a bit of noise and riff-raff on our final night there (it seemed as though there was a grad celebration). This wasn't really a fault of the hotel, but also wasn't really handled as it carried on through the night.
The front desk attendant was super kind upon check-in, and helped by giving us plenty of detail on what was nearby and the easiest ways to get around the city. The food at the hotel restaurant (Postcards) far exceeded my expectations, and we had great service each time we were there. We met a very nice local couple from San Diego having a stay-cation at the hotel, which I think also speaks to the high quality of the amenities and services offered. :)

United StatesHotel front desk service-I had no room hairdryer, as advertised, and when I called the front desk, they said they'd send someone right out and they never did/no one showed up. The tv remote was also broken. Daily parking fee. For me, the bed was uncomfortable.
It was fine enough for the short amount of time I stayed.

United StatesThe smell of the hotel is not very pleasant, the exterior of the building and the hallway carpets are very outdated, landscaping in the front of the property is outdated. No elevator to get to 2nd floor, had to lug luggage's up the staircase which was an inconvenience. Website did not really focus on the photos of the exterior of property, had I known would not have booked.
Rooms were comfortable, clean and updated

United StatesWhen we first arrived we were in a regular room. The room was dirty and looked used in. For example the bed seemed to have been slept on there was dirty rags on the night stand and there was urine in the toilet as if someone had already been staying in the room prior to us arriving. The room had a strong odor of smoke and was definitely a terrible thing to experience within a few minutes of arriving. We however we removed and upgraded without hesitation! We felt listened to and appreciated.
I loved the location of the Handlery Hotel. The amenities were all great and we enjoyed the spa/pool area. We were upgraded to a suite, and definitely will try to book again.

United StatesThe room smelled musty upon entered and the tub was slow to drain. Not enough discomfort to say anything to staff about it at the time. We did say something about it at checkout and the desk clerk apologized and said we should have said something about it and they would have corrected it.
The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The location is excellent! Staff was attentive and available at a moment’s notice.

United StatesOverall the rooms were clean, the musty smell wasn’t to bad, the rooms seemed like a military barrack. It was closed to Sea World. Extremely expensive parking, $18 per night.! We booked a few rooms as a group, one of the rooms had two people who drove separately because she could not join us as we checked in and arrived later in the night. The front desk made it extremely difficult for her to get an expensive parking pass. She had to get the First person out of bed to head to the lobby to explain she was the second person in the room. They felt it could have been handled a bit better than it was. Will I stay here again, probably not.
The rooms were clean, location was very close to Sea world.
