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 StatesIt wasn’t a problem for us(we brought our sedan)but parking for a larger truck or SUV could be challenging. Our crew cab, long bed F150 would have been a pain to park.
The property is surrounded by trees. It’s like being in a hidden forest. The room was clean and comfortable. They offered ice and filtered in the lobby. They also offered a free bottle of water or soda to each guest. In the morning they had a nice continental breakfast.

The location was perfect for me - it was convenient and quiet. Coffee and pastries in the morning were a welcome touch. Staff was friendly, efficient and professional. Would happily stay here again.

United StatesNo restaurants within easy walking distance. Due to residential neighborhood with limited street parking, sight lines when trying to pull out onto Lincoln can be very challenging - vehicles parked on the street interfere with the ability to,it’s to safely pull out.

United StatesThe bed was not too comfortable for me, though my husband slept well.
The room was very clean, and though small, had everything we needed and room to spread out a little. The owner/manager was very welcoming and friendly. The coffee is good. Appreciate the fruit, and wish there were non-sweet breakfast choices though I did enjoy the bran muffin. Thank you, it was a good stay. Easy 1 mile walk into downtown. Easy drives to China Camp State Park and Mt. Tamalpais.

United StatesThere were some very minor details overlooked in cleaning. The remote controls were dirty so I had to wipe them off. And the microwave could use a good cleaning or be replaced. I thought the bed was very comfortable, but it was a little too firm for my husband.
This was a perfect stay for our family. We had a great experience starting at the front desk. The staff were very welcoming and check-in was very easy. They even offer a complimentary soda or water to each guest. The room was ready when we arrived and was very clean. Bedding was inviting, the room was a good size, and the bathroom was larger than we expected. There is a small (though older) microwave and a small fridge. The layout of the room provides plenty of space with two large floating tables. I am very particular about clean bathrooms, and this one exceeded my expectations. The setting is very calming and feels safe, it's a small hotel surrounded by lots of beautiful trees.
