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.).

AustraliaIt's basically a backpackers not a motel. Towels & bed linen not very clean, there was sand in the bed sheets. Bed very short in length & curtains did not block out outside lights that were on all night. No power points for phone charger etc. Was a TV but no remote so no way of turning on. There was a jug & iron but no powerpoint or cups. One set of cultery despite booking for a couple. Community shower & toilet was clean but very old.
Good location.

AustraliaGetting charged over $50 for my youngest son to sleep on the floor is not acceptable. He didn't get a mattress or pillow either so he had to try and sleep on the wooden floor with nothing like a dog. I will never recommend Booking.Com or the Cooktown Motel to anyone. We didn't stay on Thursday night because my other son couldn't sleep on the floor again. VERY UNHAPPY 😭
The staff we met were friendly. Our room was clean.

AustraliaThis motel was not what we asked for in booking and is not suitable for 85 year olds. The toilets are separate from rooms and up flights of steps. The car was parked a long way away another problem. This is a younger persons motel and the facilities for back packers and young tourists are perfect and it has a huge community kitchen.
The manager of this motel was excellent. Cannot speak highly enough of him and his efforts to make us comfortaable.

AustraliaI did not realize when I booked that some of the rooms had shared facilities like a hostel. The bathrooms/toilets were close to our room and generally the noise was fairly loud until the early hours. Parking was nowhere near our room - bit of a trek to get our stuff inside. Basin tap in the bathroom ran all night.
Camp style kitchen for meals. Easy to find and then get into town.
