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.).

Germany2 major things: 1.) not having a front desk / someone to talk to gives this accommodation an anonymous touch. Being able to write an email or make a phone call is not equivalent to walk up to a desk and talk to someone. I understand, that this is probably a cost factor (given the size of the accommodation), but would still recommend to have at least for a few hours a day someone present to talk to. Room service was very nice and engaged by the way - but cannot replace a front desk. 2.) this one is probably hard to change: the train across the street with its loud honks and pretty much zero noise isolation of the rooms gives at least guests sensitive to acoustics of a honking freight train running through the middle of the room a pretty special sleeping experience. It takes a night or 2 to get used to it - if at all possible to ignore.
Encinitas with its artistic flavor and surfer atmosphere, close to the beach is an attractive place to be. Surfhouse room is well equipped with cool decoration and details. Having the choice to pick a room with four single beds in one room is rare and for the kids of a family (or friends) certainly a plus. A parking spot in front of the room is great. The offer of beach cruiser bikes for free on availability basis is also a very nice idea (improvement proposal: a quick release skewer to adjust the saddle height would be great - or an Allen key near the bike storage to adjust the height).

United StatesI loved Surfhouse and will stay again. The rooms are clean and well laid out with a beautiful bathroom, simple desk and everything I needed for a four night stay. Two outdoor areas for hanging out with friends worked for an outdoor office for me. Location is the best in Encinitas.

Convenient walking distance to coffee shops for brunch and shopping. It is just a few blocks away from Beacon’s. The beds were the best I’ve slept in away from home. And lastly the shower amazing, I took long ones every day!

United StatesI was a little worried about the train noise- they go by often and blow their horns- but with the provided white noise machine, I wasn’t bothered at all.
The location was perfect for walking to restaurants and the beach. The room was very clean and the bed was super comfortable.
