Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

This Lodge and Spa are on a vineyard. The wine is excellent. The accommodations are spacious and comfortable. Staff was extremely attentive to our needs. It is a short drive to Big Sur and the views are spectacular.

My wife and I were impressed with everything we encountered at Bernardus. It is a beautiful property with everything one needs to enjoy the best of the wine country on the Monterey Peninsula. The food, wine, and peaceful views of the gardens from our patio made for a memorable stay. We look forward to returning in the future.

This hotel is spectacular. Everything is well thought out and planned. Service is extremely quick and the grounds are immaculate. The setting is idyllic. We stayed in a villa and it was amazing - beautiful, well thought out decor, classy, and just perfect. Couldn’t more highly recommend a resort!

We have been going to Bernardus for almost 25 years. It is a magically peaceful place & we keep going back. We appreciate all of the amenities. I highly recommend Bernardus for a night (or two) away, or a Spa Day.
