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 StatesI had a $3 charge on my credit card which I did not recognize - OYO Hotels, before I stayed there. I called the number on the credit card statement and was told that it was not OYO Hotels. Visa thought it was fraud and cancelled my credit card. This necessitated getting a new card and informing several merchants who automatically charge the card each month. When I looked at the confirmation the day of arrival to confirm the location I saw this charge at the bottom of the email. I had not noticed this charge until then. I have never encountered such a charge with Booking.com. I Informed the hotel and asked them to take this off. It was originally taken off by Visa but was reinstated after I informed them that it as not fraud., The hotel has not removed this charge as I write. Please see that this charge is removed and instruct OYO to correct the telephone number so charges can be confirmed - this has caused a big inconvenience. Also tell them to fix the sign on the property as it was dim and the hotel was hard to find in the dark.

United StatesThe ice machine didn't work, so they made ice in trays and filled baggies with the ice. They were prompt in getting us ice, so no problem for us. My wife showered the morning we left and the water went from warm to cold in 2 minutes. I figure adding greater hot water capacity is part of the remodeling. It had WIFI which was good, but a low end TV network. Again, no biggy for us. We watched a lot of Gunsmoke, Laramie, Big Valley and Gene Autry. The motel is carved into the side of a hill, so, first floor on the front side is at ground level. When you drive around to the back side, you go uphill, so, there is no climbing stairs to get to your room on second floor, either.Kind of cool. The second floor driveway could be wider, but everybody navigated it ok. There is also a lounge and soda machine in second floor which was nice...no food vending, tho. None of these things bothered us. We were well pleased with the economy and cleanliness and comfort of our stay.
We were on a budget and needed 3 nights. Thru Booking, this came out to just under $50 per night. The room was bigger than expected, plenty of room for the king sized bed. The mattress on the bed was more comfortable than our Sleep Number bed at home. It looked like motel was going through a budget remodeling. In our room, the carpet was older but was clean and well vacuumed. There was a heating unit on the wall that worked great and was precise at keeping the whole room evenly heated.TV was a Hitachi and worked great. Refrigerator, microwave, and coffee pot all worked great. It 2 sinks, one inside bathroom, one just outside bathroom. Toilet, tub, and floor were all clean. Although there were several rooms rented during New Years Eve and Day, all was completely quiet. So, it depends on what you are after for your stay. It's not a Marriott, but it was perfect for us!

Friendly owner working hard to revive this well-worn 70s-era highway motel. No extras available, but did offer a clean room, hot shower and fairly comfortable bed. Very affordable.

United StatesI asked for non-smoking and they put us in a smoking room so the smell was very hard to deal with. There was not a good place to throw garbage away due to the garbage cans outside always being full.
It was a reasonable price and it was close to town. The towels were very nice and the people were very kind.

United StatesWe had a confirmed reservation and Once we arrived they said they didn't have our room. Showed them my phone confirmation and they found us a room. Keep in mind the event we were attending had every hotel booked within 45 miles so going elsewhere was not an option. We were attending an outdoor event about 20 minutes away in 90 degree heat. We arrive back to our room the next afternoon hot and desperately needing a shower. We enter the room to a flooded bathroom that was soaking the carpet outside as well. We go tell the front desk staff and they tell us they will get someone up there. We waited 2 hours and nobody came, no plumber, no handyman, no hotel staff to even see it for themselves let alone clean up the mess. Finally fed up I decided not my floor, not my fault if the water destroys the ceiling below we showered and went to bed. Using the bathroom overnight was like walking thru a marsh. It squished between your toes as you walked across the carpet then you waded in the bathroom. We leave the next morning SURE they will address the leak while we were gone the entire next day. Arrive back that evening and no fans drying the carpet, water still running out from bathroom wall. We packed up our bags on day 2 of 3 and went home. Maybe the extra $$ they got to keep for the night we didn't stay can go towards fixing the water issue that clearly was not a top concern. That was just the room. The parking lot has holes that will swallow a small car. The lot is VERY dark so arriving late or leaving before sun up is not ideal. Will not stay again!!
