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 StatesWe paid for a king size bed but the bed was a queen size and with no firmness. The handle on the sliding door (inside handle) was broken making it difficult to get out of the bathroom. Hotel is overpriced!!
We liked being SJC to visit the Mission etc. The staff was courteous and listened to our concerns.

United StatesThis hotel is very pricey. The pool area was small with limited seating. The room size was standard and we expected more than the view of a parking lot for the price.
The location was excellent. We were able to walk to restaurants and the mission. The hotel bar and lobby were very nice with plenty of areas for gathering.

United StatesSmoke detector in room has a bright flashing white light every few seconds. Irritating at night. Thermostat display goes from dim to bright every couple minutes. Irritating at night. Saturday morning about 9::00, no hot water in shower. Undersized water heater? Tried to use men's restroom near lobby, but both toilets were out of service. The complementary shuttle service is too limited. Rancho Mission Viejo Riding Park (3.0 miles away) is too far for the shuttle. Even The Coach House (1.8 miles away) is too far for the shuttle.
Great location. Helpful staff Comfortable and clean rooms.

United StatesThe paid wifi was confusing and seemed exorbitantly expensive. That, and the $35/day surcharge for food or drinks that is charged to you whether you eat or drink anything, seemed like cheap money grabs.
The hotel has a wonderful location. You can walk to the Mission (across the street) coffee shops, Mexican restaurants, etc. The hotel is spacious and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful.

United StatesI have no suggestions. We enjoyed everything about the location. Our stay was ideal. We ran into a cart driver at the end of the day once who gave us a ride back, very gracious.
Breakfast service was exceptional. Choice of dining indoors or outdoors a plus. All staff attentive and friendly.

United KingdomNothing. The only thing I’d say is the room rates are a bit confusing. There is an additional £25 daily resort fee to pay which wasn’t made clear to us . And the valet parking was mandatory and expensive - £45 per day. Just bear those in mind as mandatory additional charges.
A beautiful and immaculate hotel with impeccable service from every member of staff. The pool area is lovely and the other outside spaces are comfortable and very inviting - for example there are lights and fire pits everywhere. The food and drinks are very good and the access to other restaurants and coffee shops in the local town is fantastic too. A quick drive to the beach. What a great hotel.

United StatesThis hotel is a dreadful nickel and diming joint. When you arrive (and NOT before), you are told that your already quite high room rate is actually $25 more per day because … well just because they can. It is a “food and beverage allowance”, which you can use to buy stuff, but it doesn’t roll over and you don’t get it back if you don’t use it. I took two stars off of my rating because of this. It is shameful. I have an allergic reaction to hidden fees that big companies use to gouge you. If someone walked up to me on the streets of San Juan Capistrano during my stay and robbed me of $150, the cops would arrest him and he’d probably end up in jail. But when a hotel does it? Business as usual. That said, I still loved the place. It has many, many positives, and I absolutely would highly recommend it. Just be aware that the rate they list is not the rate you will be charged.
The location is fabulous if you have things to do in San Juan Capistrano, and since it’s close to the freeway, it’s also good if you are going outside of town. The hotel itself is delightful and the staff are wonderful, always friendly and helpful.
