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.).

GermanyNo utensils in the kitchen. Park situation is very bad No lobby, no pool and nothing else to do in the motel. You just kind of stay at your room. Internet connection keeps breaking off. The reception is a tiny cubicle. To make matters bad, the staff have no idea/ tips etc for San Diego sight seeing.
Location - 2 buses within 3min walk Clean= cleaning staff are very friendly and courteous. Kitchen with oven, microwave and refrigerator. But no single utensils. Bring your stuffs

United StatesReceptionist could have been a bit more friendly, but he took care of our check-in in a timely manner and we got to our room.
Not much parking, ended up parking on the boulevard near the Motor Hotel. The room was clean, just big enough for the two of us. Bed was comfortable and the room was simple and met our overnight stay needs.

United KingdomA little out of the way if you want lots to do locally.
Nice room, well equipped and a handy laundry room behind the motel. Good bus service very close and a 5 minute drive to the shopping centre. Ate at the Red Fox Room one evening, a little dark inside but lovely food, Gilly's bar was good for a pre dinner drink, both 5 minute walk.

Larger room than I expected (more of a suite!), comfortable bed, and plenty of storage space. The check-in was easy and straight-forward, and staff were helpful and friendly when my room key-card stopped working, too, and got it fixed quickly.

United StatesThe mattress was new and clean but slightly too firm for my preference. But the bedding was lovely and clean otherwise.
Try room was a clean, well appointed room (small but with everything I needed). The location was excellent for South and North Park, for access to Balboa Park, and to downtown. There was free parking on the street, and it is a safe area to walk to nearby restaurants and shops. This is my new go-to hotel for trips to the San Diego area!

MexicoWe have stayed here several times. Consistently, the wifi is flaky. For example, it doesn't seem to work well with Uber or Google maps and I have to use cellular data instead.
This is a good quality, "standard frills" hotel. More or less, things are as expected, which is good.

United StatesPeople on the upper floors should be mindful that the people below can hear their footsteps. Also, there are only six private parking spots, so get to check-in early.
Remodeled; New floors and new paint. Good location, simple and easy check-in/checkout out. Quiet, considering the road is right there. Uber driver said this neighborhood was bad a few years ago. He said it has gone uphill since, and for two white people, dressed to the 9's (for a Christmas party) to walk out of this motel, he could hardly believe it and was a testament to the area improvement. You should not hesitate to book this motel. No breakfast, but across the street is Denny's. My husband and I went up the road, at night, to the ATM and felt perfectly safe. Overall, for the price, I recommend this motel.

United StatesI thought I had turned out the sign to make up my room after my first night, but it never happened. The sign for "Do Not Disturb" and "Please Clean My Room" are hard to distinguish from each other.
Fine, clean motel in a neighborhood that I enjoy staying in.
