How guest reviews work.

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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.

We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.

Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):

• Politically sensitive comments
• Promotional content
• Illegal activities
• Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
• Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
• Spam and fake content
• Animal cruelty
• Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
• Any violation of our review guidelines.

To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.

An accommodation can reply to a review.

When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.

Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

Recent guest reviews.

Beautiful grounds, loved the pool and fitness area. The room (2 garden queen) didn't have a balcony or patio. The sliding door opened into the hallway. Avoid rooms 203, 205 and 207.

Location & property is beautiful

We would possibly stay here again if there were no other choices but will avoid it. After checking in we went to the restaurant downstairs, it's an odd menu with limited offerings but the food was fine. After getting back to our room we receive a call (on the room phone) about our room charge for dinner and that we aren't checked in. Ok, how did I receive a room number and key if I'm not checked in? They said they will finish checking us in and it will be fine. Later, after already changing for bed and settling for the night we get a call again. They didn't save our credit card information so I have to go back down there to check in again. Their fees, while not unusual for the area, are astronomical and completely unjustified. The resort fee was to cover wifi, beach chairs, housekeeping, etc. Wifi would constantly kick you off, and was extremely slow. You could pay more for an upgraded wifi plan - then why are you claiming it's part of resort fee. We couldn't get beach chairs and were only offered what chairs were already sitting on grass - we couldn't take to beach. There was no housekeeping, they stated we needed to stay 4 nights for housekeeping. We had to ask 3 times for toilet paper and never received any - we had to go buy some at the store. This was on top of the room not being thoroughly cleaned before we got there. The lava java was not open for the stated hours. They claimed they were open til 7pm but we tried going at 5pm and they were closed.

This property is beautiful and super close to Pacific Beach and the boardwalk. Like a 5 minute walk to the beach.

The stormy weather was no under your control. The lack of clean up after the storms was something you could have controlled. The extensive reconstruction contributed to the general disorder around the grounds. The room was OK, we expected more.

We love staying here. Location is close to anywhere in the bay or on the beach and the staff is top notch. Pool and Gym are nice also!

Gorgeous property but really dirty dusty not/ready room $80/day extra fees/parking/valet Not a deal as advertised by Orbitz

I loved this resort, I have been coming here for years. Always my best spot in San Diego

Location and water Sports Great. Balcony under repair and not available not great.

The property itself was well maintained and beautiful. However, the walking paths to get around were very dark and should be better lit. Our bathroom in our room was disgusting, there was mold in the tub, the flooring was cracked and stained. The shower turned from scorching hot to ice cold. The hallway carpets were stained. The rooms, hallways and stairwells were dirty. The rooms need to be renovated for what they charge per night, it was very disappointing. Would never recommend this hotel to anyone.

We really enjoyed the landscape near the Tower hotel rooms. Very peaceful and beautiful scenery. The hotel room was a little dated and needs a new sliding door and screen door. Other than that it was nice.

The grounds of the resort were beautiful! Staff was excellent, location great.

Love how close you are to the beach. Rooms are quiet & curtains black out sun. Pool was clean & plenty of towels. Only negative was pool gate closest to our room was chained & not usable, we had to walk through the lobby to get to pool. Not easy w/2 little kids.

Dated accommodations, bathroom and bedding/linens were not clean.

Loved the access to both beach and bay

Beautiful property on the bay!

Run down and over priced! Never again

Right on Mission Bay, walking path around the bay at the hotel's back yard. The ocean path is just across the road.
