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.).

United StatesThere was no refrigerator the setup made it kind of small in the inside but in all fairness we did have a king size bed and they did not have any Smoky rooms but they did have a location outside for us to smoke so I'd say that was a great thing. And there really isn't nowhere in the area to eat my husband is a big foodie and we struggle to find the location to eat in the area that we were at
This location was perfect we just had to walk a couple blocks to get to fisherman's wharf. Iit was a very quiet location Very very friendly employees

United StatesYou have parking, but should pay additional price (it said not vividly). Might be a little bit noisy from the street. Terrible internet connection. Most of cable channels only for additional price. Here is nether microwave nor fridge (but on photo are). Traditionally (for most of Motel 6) only a soap provided. But the paramount one: a receptionist, when I called to ask a move my start day, denied (nobody replayed to me on Booking before), only Booking.com support could tackle the problem.
Location is excellent, close to everything and here is the main advantage. Price is ok.

PhilippinesThe bedsheet is a bit dirty and there is a bad smell when we came in. The floor is sticky so you can't walk on barefoot. Also the pictures of the room has microwave and ref but in reality there isn't. It would be better to remove those pictures so that it won't confuse guests.
The restroom is clean. The location is very convenient and they accept pets wothout extra charge.

CanadaWhen ran out of toilet paper (they only gave 1/2 a roll to start a three day stay) and requested additional towels (again only three towels for family of five) - I was initially refused as housekeeping had gone for the day. Ummm…we had no toilet paper! Eventually, after Explaining g how that wasn’t going to work, i had to go to front desk and he had to dig for toilet paper in the back. The a/c didn’t work, the microwave was broken, the floor had a dangerous wrecked floor/soft spot outside the bathroom, the outlets had no covers, the bathroom vent needed a serious clean and the doors and walls were dirty.
The rooms were big enough for family of five with three queen beds. The location was great and they allowed pets.

United KingdomThe rooms, although not dirty could be updated a bit more as walking into the rooms they are a bit dark and grotty looking. Other than that not much to be improved upon for a budget stay in a big city. The parking was an additional $10 per night to the stay which is payable when you arrive.
Size of rooms and the location are great. The bed was comfy and the rooms appear clean if not he most appealing on first entering. Staff were accommodating, we were allowed to leave the car past the 11am checkout time for an additional $15 but this may not be possible on some days if the car park is full as there is limited parking. This was a reasonable price as car parking is expensive unless you are happy using the 2 hour free street parking which wasn't an option for us as we needed longer than 2 hours so this saved the hassle of having to move the car before our flight home.

United StatesThis is a low budget hotel so it really is just what you need. No daily housekeeping and the bathrooms was not very nice. Didn't like automatic lights.
This is a good location. It is close to bus stops so we didn't need to bring our car. The price per night was low compared to other hotels.
