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.).

Our room was spacious and nicely decorated. Everything was sparkling clean, our room as well as the common areas. Felt like a home away from home. Parking in front of the property or right at the next house. Lady at the front desk was super nice and helpful.

United StatesOverall, the inn was great, but only if I were nitpicking… The entry to the location is a little steep for the busy area and you have to take your time otherwise you’ll scrape your car if it sits low. Also the soap/toiletries provided didn’t have the best fragrance.
The staff was amazing! Very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were clean and spacious for my family of four.

United StatesJust two items to be aware of: 1) The bed is a bit soft; can feel like you're sinking into quicksand or another person if you're sharing the bed. 2) The noise. The walls are very thin and there's space under the door to let all kinds of sound and noise in. Bring earplugs if you're a sensitive sleeper.
Location is perfect - close to many shops, bars, restaurants, parks, etc. Not even a 10-minute drive to the beach. The room itself was super cute with heating and air conditioning - the bathroom had towels, soaps, lotions, etc. Decently sized space for a king-sized bed and closet area with mini fridge - everything I could ask for in a room for a weekend trip! Front desk staff was really nice as well.

United KingdomWe were able to get a parking space outside the rooms, however the parking spaces were limited. There is parking provided overnight at the business next door so there would definitely be enough space for everybody staying, but there are time limits if parking there (not sure of exact times but I think the car would need to be moved in the morning). We stayed in cheaper places elsewhere that were just as nice or better but I think this is just Santa Barbara prices!
Good location, helpful staff, lovely room. We arrived early and were able to check in. Love the colours on the soft furnishings in the room.

United StatesWish there were more parking spaces (there's something like 10 spaces for 13 or so rooms). There are add'l parking spaces on the street behind or next door at the vet's for limited hours.
Big improvement over the two prior nights at the Santa Barbara Motel 6! This was a quaint little place. Comfy rooms. Felt very clean. Limited parking spaces, but I was able to snag one right in front of my room. Check in and out was super easy. I'd stay here again.
