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 StatesThe pet fee for 1 night was too high! I couldn’t get the A/C to work.
The design of the rooms and lobby was creative, well thought out and had a cozy upscale feel. The champagne at check-in, the breakfast.

United StatesSome guests (a large family group) were very noisy, took over the lounge area and conversed very loudly, basically driving away the other guests who were seeking a quiet area to hang out outside of their room. Staff did not attempt to police this.

United StatesThe only thing I didn't like was the music outside. The sound of it came into our room while I was reading and trying to relax and I couldn't with the music :( It was distracting and not the music I wanted to hear while on vacation. I would nix it and just play it in the breakfast area.
Breakfast was wonderful! The best part of the stay, however, was the staff. They were all so friendly, professional, and plain fun!

United StatesNot well sound-insulated between floors - suspect those upstairs have no idea how much those below can hear! Oddly, though, very little noise travelled between rooms next to each other. Luckily, most guests during our stay were conscious of not being too loud. Very little storage space, could do with bedside tables with drawers and/or a dresser under the TV.
Lovely staff, great location, very comfortable. Particularly enjoyed evenings around the fire pit or in the lounge.

United StatesNo refrigerators in rooms or AC (normal for Carmel - but good to remember in the summer when it can get a bit uncomfortable at night if your windows are closed.) Windows don't have screens on them so we were a bit hesitant to leave them open to cool down the room when we weren't there so it took a bit after retruning from dinner to get the room down to a decent temp. To be fair I visited while pregnant so the heat bothered me more than most. We had a few issues with our room being cleaned adequately, forgotten towels, missing cup replacements, etc. but they were quickly rectified when brought to the attention of the reception staff. Normally things that wouldn't bother us, but with this being a pricer option in the area we felt it wasn't quite at the level we expected or recalled from our prior stay a few years back.
Great location, wonderful staff and very cute rooms. It's a quieter location without all the foot trafic of some of the other inns, but still very close to everything you come to Carmel to enjoy! The breakfast baskets are a nice Covid friendly touch that we enjoyed in the mornings as well.
