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 StatesLight sleepers beware! The motel is really loud. I heard every door open and close, every passerby, every car start and each neighbor in their rooms. I understand it's a motel so by nature, your room is facing public areas but there are some things I feel the motel could put in place to make it a little quieter - like soft close doors, adding thick curtains (maybe double pane windows) and some soundproofing in the rooms. The motel was really really cool but I wouldn't go back just because I never slept well.
Staff was super friendly and just all around lovely and helpful. The location is PERFECT! It's near a ton of restaurants, shops and bars. The decor and vibe is super cool.

United Statesthis hotel is a little bit pricey for what you get - the amenities are very simple, which is fine - everything was clean - but it was a little bit dated and run down (though fun decor) and so just didn't quite feel worth what we paid
This hotel is in the perfect spot along south congress with tons of shops and restaurants around. it's a great place to stop over for a night or few in Austin. plus the decor is so fun! it's a unique and fun visit.

United StatesWe loved the energy and decor, very retro and felt quintesentually Austin. The heated poo was also phenomal in the winter. Very walkable to south congress, we rarely left the area on our trip. Also told the staff when I came to check-in (but not ahead of time online) that we were here for my birthday weekend. When we got to the room they gave us free wine!! Such a nice touch and truly lovely folks.

United StatesHousekeeping did not come at all during our stay. At check out we were informed that they don’t visit daily, only because we asked. That should have been communicated upon check in or a notice in the room. Had we not asked about that at check out, it would have left a very negative opinion about the motel. We originally thought housekeeping skipped us.
Location, cleanliness, decor, vintage charm and comfortable mattress.

NetherlandsPrice feels a little bit steep. Also no breakfast available (not that they advertise it, but it would've been a nice addition).
Loved this place. Great atmosphere and wonderful decor. Very comfortable bed as well, not squishy soft but you still sink away in it (my guess is memory foam?). Pool seemed bigger in-person than it did on the pictures.
