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 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):
- 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.).

Not clear in name that the Aspen is a motel plus it has apartments. The fridge apparently is a new design which switches off at night. This results in milk not being cold in morning.
Modernized motel room with comfortable beds, good size bathroom. Convenient location about 15 minute walk to town.

Everything was exceptionally well presented and all the staff were very welcoming. A nice location and very quiet. You can have your laundry done, they can organise your dinner and breakfast. EV charging stations so you can charge up overnight. Craig and Marianne go over and above expectations. Definitely will be back.

Apart from mirror in the master bedroom ensuite, there was only one mirror for all the other 4 guests, 3 of whom were women preparing for a wedding. Bedrooms could easily have had a full length mirror on sliding doors. It is all very new and some wall pictures would be very nice. The other issue is that we weren't told the address of our apartment which was several blocks away from main reception and a pick-up bus was arranged to arrive at main reception. We were racing for time, so this was inconvenient. We simply needed to be told the address at the time of booking.
Spaciousness, cleanliness, garden.

- • Solo traveller
- • Executive Queen Room

Not much to dislike. It was a pretty ideal experience for a motel room on the road. I'll certainly remember it should I find myself in need of accommodation in Sale again. It's very well located for Sale town centre and a number of restaurants and take-aways. It's right on York Street, which is the main highway in Sale so in the morning it was merely a matter of getting in the car and driving out onto the highway and getting on my way.
The Aspen was a hidden little gem right on the main highway in Sale and handy to the shops. The room is modern and clean with a recliner sofa! and a very comfy bed. The manager was very friendly and helpful, gave me directions to the nearest Noodle shop, even giving me a map, very old fashioned service and a rarity these days. I was tucked away at the back of the motel, very private and secluded feeling, with my car right outside my door, I felt like the only one staying there. The room was luxuriously appointed and I had such a good night's sleep. Loved the shower room with the rain shower head. Fluffy towels and enough toiletries to keep me fresh and sweet smelling for a week!
