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 StatesNo elevator, but we got a first-floor room, which was appreciated.
The woman who checked us in was really accommodating and helpful. Clean room, good quality linens, nice towels, Very comfortable bed. The spa and pool area was really nice. There was a large family gathering for a funeral, and the hotel was crowded, but still very quiet in our room. Good breakfast. Safe location, close to interstate and shopping.

United StatesThe beds were not comfortable at all, and feather pillows are awful. I'm not sure why they still exist. The towels, and they are not the only hotel that has this issue, are like sandpaper and small. I'm a little person, and the bath towels did not make it around my body. The value type hotels could all work on this.
The hotel was conveniently located. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Told us good places to eat in town.

United StatesThe washer/dryer room was the gate to hell! No ventilation and I don't think the lint trap had been cleaned in a long while. That said, it was great they have it, I just need a sauna! LOL! The serious issue was the breakfast. It was worst we have had in a good hotel in our travels. Eggs and sausage were burnt to the pan. Just bad. Bad for the Choice hotel brand. It is criminal that the insurance co. won't pay for the hail damage.
The location and value were good. The staff was great. Cookies were a nice touch. It was good that they had a washer and dryer.

United StatesI think everything was good and I don't have anything about the hotel that I didn't like. The surrounding area had a manure smells (I am guessing they were fertilizing fields nearby) but you would not smell it in the hotel which was great.
It was a short drive to Grinnell College where we were visiting. The rooms were clean, check in and check out was easy. The breakfast was simple.

United StatesCould be sproced up in the room. Area. A extra lamp for the night stand sufficient space to to hand towels, gowns, pj's.
The staff and very pleasant and cordial. Any item needed they would provide. They go overboard in making your stay comfortable and you happy. While the rooms may be older they are exceptionally clean. The lines are soft and cuddly, the mattress provides an excellent night’s rest and you may want to take it home an is so comfortable. Each morning the shower was steamy hot with excellent pressure. We were there for five days for our grandson's.graduation it was the perfect spot. Nice outdoor chairs and a well appointed indoor lounging room. I would most stay here again

United StatesThe hallways were dirty--needed a vacuum at least. Breakfast did not start until 7:00, so we missed it. Price was much higher than the night before in Newton, which was an excellent place (no room here).
In general, this was a typical motel--the room was good. It was clean, while the hallway and reception area was not. Beds were fine.
