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.).

CanadaA few extra perks such as some free bottled water would be nice to add. Also, our son who lives a couple of hours away wasn't allowed to spend the night in our room on the couch for an extra cost, so he had to drive multiple times to visit vs purchasing a nearby hotel room, which is very expensive. We were fine with the room restrictions and understand the rationale, but always look for some flexibility in these policies.
We love the location, and the after-hours check-in worked well.

United StatesI would have loved to have some air conditioning. I am a person that loves to be chilly, and the open windows with the shore breeze just wasn't cutting it. Otherwise, it was superb!
This was a perfect gem of a property. Location was wonderful, very walkable, easy to get to the Heisler Park beach as well as the Main beach in Laguna. It was a quirky little place with lots of steps to get to the rooms, but the rooms were clean and comfortable. I felt like the property was safe and the staff was lovely. They made it very easy for our late check in, with thorough instructions, and we loved having a kitchen to use during our short stay. Overall, I was very impressed with Laguna Shores and I would definitely recommend it to friends and family.

United StatesThere is not much the resort can do, but the parking is a little tricky; not unusual with resorts "in town." Some of the spots are right up next to units, so it wasn't great when someone started their car at 5am and let it idle a bit before finally leaving. That was probably a one-off, but I could imagine it happening at any hour somewhat often. Noise issues in some form can and usually do arise nearly anywhere you stay, especially in a busy town. Common areas can feel a tad small, but again, to be expected "in town" - a park and beach are right across the street for peaceful wandering!
Exceptional location right across the road from a gorgeous shoreline park. Had an "away from the crowds" feeling, but in walking distance to everything you'd want or need. You can opt for happening bars, restaurants, art studios, shops, or opt for peaceful scenery walking along beaches and parks. Nice units - our little studio with a murphy bed had a small, but a full and well-stocked kitchen. Nice outdoor sitting areas in front or in back of each unit; many units have an amazing view. Comfortable and nice common areas with a cool, mid-century feel. Reasonably priced snacks and ice cream offered in office, but they close at 6pm so plan if you want something!

United StatesThe Murphy bed was a little too soft and sank to the floor on one side. Did like having the Murphy bed that we could fold up and have more room.
The location was amazing. Walking distance to restaurants, stores, groceries. There was a park across right outside the property and beach access to a good swimming and tide pooling area. There were gas BBQs in the pool area that looked brand new. The room was very quiet and had a filtered view of the park/ocean area. Parking was easy. Definitely would go back and recommend to others.

United StatesThe after hour check in was horrible. There was No clear instruction of how to get to my room after 6 o'clock. I called a few times to finally get through someone and waited for almost an hour to finally get the key to my room. The staff over the phone only just read the instruction but no understanding of what she was reading, if they just send me image instruction would be easier. The next morning when I went to check out, I complained to the front desk, she gave me a fake empathy and does not care what I complained about. Over all, the staff i had encountered over the phone and at the front desk were polite but only made minimal efforts.

United StatesThe furniture was very uncomfortable. The bed was very small and my husband feet hung off. The couch was a sofa couch. The cushions were slanted and something was wrong with the bed itself so when it was put away it made the cushions bulge. You couldn't sit down comfortably. The coffee choice was instant coffee and disgusting.
The view was amazing. It was in a great location and you could walk to a lot of places.

The room was spacious for 2 people. Would be a little tight for more than two people. Especially with only one bathroom.

Location is wonderful. Parking was easy and free. Room was very clean. But, be aware of what room. You are getting... our view was to inside the parking garage. The Murphy bed was a surprise but was actually pretty comfortable. Room was dated but pleasant. Not saying don't stay here, but don't expect the ocean front/view the booking .com listing suggests you are getting.

United StatesThe woman who checked me in was not welcoming. Did not share or point out where the pool, laundry or trash and recycling bins were. She did however, underscore she was leaving at 6pm and would be locking the gates and laundry area which housed the ice machine and exercise equipment. The brochure notes the ice machine and water dispenser is located in the laundry area and is open from 8am to 8pm. Lastly, the parking on the top floor was difficult to exit to the street level because they roped off the first parking space. It appeared to be used by employees and for their convenience. This made it difficult to maneuver down the ramp. I also saw other cars having the same difficulty exiting the parking. Bad form.
Location was excellent and the studio was clean and neat. It had good amenities and an excellent shower.

United StatesAbsolutely no view from our room. Sadly, it was one of a few rooms that offer no view whatsoever. Booking.com should make it clear that only some (not all) rooms have views. Similarly, while parking is available onsite, spaces are assigned and some are unfortunately small, awkward, and difficult to navigate. Also, the soundproofing between floors was miserably insufficient.
Location is excellent, with easy access to shoreline park, galleries, restaurants and downtown
