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 StatesI stayed here during a work trip because it was close to my job. After making the non refundable reservation, I told my customer where I was staying. They told me that it was a drug infested place and that to empty my truck before going there because the tweakers were going to steal everything not locked down. Of course I listened to them as I nervously wondered what I got myself into and if I had to sleep with one eye opened. I was pleasantly surprised to find the place clean and quiet. The parking lot had been resurfaced and had respectable vehicles parked in the lot. The office manager was pleasant and had all his teeth. The room was nice and updated and the bed was comfortable. To be honest, I only woke up once during the night to look out the window to find that my ladders were still on my truck and there were no tweakers or junkies in sight. This place was away different than what was described to me. It is clean, quiet, and safe. The management did a good job of cleaning this place up and getting rid of the negative elements. I left early the next morning. All my tools were still in my truck and unmolested. This is a decent place to stay at and I would stay here again if my travels bring me back here.

United StatesOnly thing I notice microwave was dirty i don’t know if it’s from age or stains on the bottom, etc. I only used it to warm up milk didn’t do any harm to my item so it worked
I liked that we got two beds even though I just needed one which I’m glad we did because we have a 1 year an half old an she tends to take up the bed so we wouldn’t fit on one. It was pretty basic and simple had a desk and chair shocking we didn’t need but came in handy for a little dinner type table so it works. Tv was wonderful. Bathroom blew me away very large like an yet small. Our bathroom/ kitchen was together but worked great because they have a sliding door to the bathroom and plus kitchen so I was able to keep it close an keep our child out of the bathroom an getting into things very useful. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who has kids that are under 5 definitely child proof. Also very convenient for an elder person they have handles near toilets and at shower etc to help them get off the toilet or hold their selfs up. Only got photo of shower part of bathroom couldn’t help it. I really love it had to share with my fam lol

Comfortable rooms. Great DirecTV. Friendly staff. Parking is popular but free and manageable. Super cold frig, my carrots froze! I’m a repeat offender and often stay here when in Santa Cruz. The location is central for my needs and not in the heavily touristed areas.

United StatesThe bathroom door was warped due to water damage and once it was closed you would have to pry extremely hard in order to get it back open. The bathroom door for 114 should be replaced. The wifi also wasn’t the best, and we frequently just used cellular data since it was faster.
The staff was very kind and welcoming. The front desk attendant who helped us check in had a very friendly demeanor. He also gave us a small goody bag of snacks, which was appreciated. The room itself was a little bit quirky with a separate kitchenette. While we didn’t do any cooking during our stay, it was a nice amenity.

United StatesThe toilet was not cleaned, looked like it wasn’t flushed after last use. Light from room across the parking lot shined directly into my room and had difficulty getting the curtains to close properly to block it out. No information on the TV channels, I had to just flip through them (multiple channels) to find something I liked.
The bed was comfortable, looked like the room was remodeled. Had fridge, microwave, coffee maker. Large TV.
