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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

All good
Hi Caroline, Brian here. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay with us. It's amazing how close it is to downtown and you can't hear a sound from it! I swear when you walk through the front gate, you step back in time and all noises of modern life seem to disappear. Come see us again soon, we'd love to have you back, Cheers

Verified reviewWe had such a lovely stay. We initially booked another "luxe" hotel that just had very rude staff and weird vibes. We booked the Hideaway and we are so glad we did. It was quiet, lovely, clean pool, and I loved the decor. So charming. And LOVED the record player.
It was a nearly perfect stay and we will be back. However, I would have liked a comfier bed. It felt a bit too "springy" for me. Although my partner said it was completely fine for him, so just personal preference.
Hi Alex, Brian here. I am so pleased to hear that you liked our place. It's impossible to please every person when it comes to mattresses, so we got the ones that are most popular. But if you thought everything else was great and your partner was happy, then I couldn't be more pleased! The record players are great!! Right? It brings me back to the days when we'd dance around the family room in our socks listening to our favorite bands. So much fun. Come see us again soon,

Hello again Anonymous or is this another anonymous?? LOL. You are right - it is quite private. You walk through that gate and you travel to a different time and place - moments away from downtown, yet you can hear the whisper of voices. It is the ideal place to forget the world and just lounge by the pool and gaze up into the mountains. Come and see us again soon - it will never change - I promise

Verified reviewPool area was tranquil. Location to the main business district was perfect
The hotel price included access to a lounge-kitchen area which had been closed since Covid and had not reopened. I felt that was misleading as a convenience that is included in the price of the accommodation

Verified reviewloved the vibe, the quietness, everyone respected each other with quiet around the pool. Bed was a little soft for me but that is personal preference.
Hello Catherine. I love when people leave reviews and feedback - truly - it helps us make if perfect for you all. I'm glad you liked the vibe - I'd kill to go back to that time and just watch - must have been amazing. Come see us again soon - it will be exactly the same oasis trapped in yesteryear. Just an FYI, the mattress firmness probably won't change either - not that we don't stay on top of when a mattress needs a change - but it's the firmness that seems universally most acceptable. My friend can sleep happily on a closet door - I want to sink 5 inches in feathers lol. Ya never know

Verified reviewI came to Palm Springs for a wedding. The Hideaway was close to the wedding venue so it was perfect. It's also close to the strip, so it was very walkable. The grounds were beautifully landscaped and it was so quiet and peaceful there!
Hello George, Brian here. What a great occasion to come to town and I am so happy you chose us for your stay. It is a magical place - weirdly quiet for just being a block from downtown! The Hideaway is one of my favorite places in town and the view from the pool to the moutains is amazing - even from the rooms you can see the mountains ! I hope you come and see us again soon. Thanks for dropping a line. We appreciate any and all feedback. Be well.

Verified reviewThis was a nice quiet property, contactless check in/out made it feel almost like an Air B&B. The heated saline pool was a highlight. We didn’t know the pool was going to be a shallow wading pool, but it didn’t matter since it was so perfect. The room was a nice size and the kitchenette was stocked with little complementary treats which was fun. The room was cute, well styled, and very clean. The bed and pillows were a little stiff for me, but it was fine for a few nights. It was nice to have access to the lounge to hang out in during the rain. This property is walking distance to the art museum and many good restaurants. We always try to stay in this neighborhood when we visit Palm Springs and have walked by this place many times. I’m glad we gave it a try! We enjoyed our stay and we would stay here again. It had an interesting architectural history which makes it unique.

Verified reviewLocation was great, easy check-in
Rooms were OK, the mattresses were very firm and uncomfortable along with the pillows which were also very firm and felt rock solid. Would suggest upgrading those. Also, the air conditioning didn’t work well - can’t imagine staying there when it’s 100 degrees plus.

Verified reviewGreat location,staff and style of presentation.
The shower needed more shelving
Hi there! Thanks for the review! It's amazing that The Hideaway is only one block from downtown, but when you walk through the front gate it's like stepping into another place and time. It is pretty spectacular - time travelling to the Rat Pack days and only a skip to downtown. And honestly, Mike, are there ever enough shelves? Those showers are original to the building so I guess in the late 1940's they just used less, but I'll make a note of shelving. Thanks

Hey Robert, and isn't it wild that it is literally a two minute walk to the main drag of town, but you go through the front gate and you are transported into a different time and space and you almost want to whisper so you don't disturb the silence of the mountains looking down on you. Magic. Come see us again soon. Best, Brian

Hello Geard, so true - I swear it's a glitch in the space and time continuum. How can you be 2 minutes from busy noisy downtown - literally you can see downtown, yet inside the gate it's 1952 and totally silent as you look across the pool to a range of mountains looking down on you!
