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 StatesOne overhead light centered and a corner lamp, but no lighting in the "closet" area. No full length mirror, which would be nice.
Cozy room with 3 windows (all with screens and easy to open). AC was turned on prior to our arrival to cool the room. Fridge was larger than the typical size for motel rooms.

CanadaIt is a little out of the main part of the town. Therefore you have to drive to pick up anything you need.
Stayed here for one night as I was travelling across the USA. This is a great little motel in Fairmont. The room was incredibly clean and quiet. Staff was very kind upon check in. Overall great for 1 night stay!

United StatesThe TP holder in the bathroom was mounted pretty close to the toilet making it a bit cramped. The room could also benefit from an exhaust fan to keep the humidity from the shower from impacting the whole room. Otherwise it was great!
The motel was clean and quiet. I was in town for a disc golf tournament and needed a place mostly just to sleep and get cleaned up between days. This location included a large mini fridge and microwave which was excellent for keeping my stuff cold without going through a bunch of ice. The room I had (19) had a paris theme and was simple but nice for the price. It felt like staying in a friend’s spare room with an en-suite. Would definitely stay here again.

United StatesWe stayed 3 nights at the property I paid in advance through Booking. When I arrived at the property, they confirmed my reservation but stated they had no record of my payment. So I had to pay for the three nights again, an additional $300.00 plus. I sent an inquiry to Booking about my payment and was promised an answer within 24 hours. It has now been 48 hours, and I've had no response To be fair, I use booking often. This is the only troublesome I have encountered to date. I have just booked another prepaid night with Booking. Hopefully, this will not be such an error.
The owners were very nice. The rooms and grounds were neat and clean.

United StatesThe staff was friendly and helpful. It was after office hours when we checked in so we didn't actually meet or see anyone from the office. They did send a maintenance person over immediately when I had trouble getting the room door unlocked. The property is older, but clean, comfortable, quiet and a good value. I am happy to support the local business.

United StatesOffice was closed in the morning, through our departure at about 9 on Saturday morning, so no access to the various things like coffee and ice listed on inside of door to unit. Also, there was a late night snafu, with someone else unlocking and trying to enter our unit, stopped by door chain. Owner or manager had mistakenly left them the wrong key. She should have called us to apologize; instead, we called her. With all the other updates, I'd strongly suggest they simply install deadbolt locks on inside of all the units.
Room was nicely updated with fresh paint, bathroom fixtures, a few nice decorative touches. On outskirts of Fairmont, very quiet after sundown. Comfortable bed, good lighting, nice mini-fridge and microwave in like-new condition. Surprising for the low cost of room! Central grassy area with charcoal grills and picnic tables would've worked fine for picnicking if we'd arrived earlier.

United StatesThe only complaint I have is that mine and my mom's reservations got combined and mixed up. She made hers via phone for a 4 night stay and I made mine here on bookings for a one night stay. When she went to check in they where confused as all they had registered was my name wanted to put her in my room with my SO. The only thing I can think of is that she is on my phone family plan and my name tends to show up on her number for caller ID. I feel this was ignorant with how many families do family plans for cell phone service, please don't be relying on caller ID for the name or assume and combine because of having the same last name.
I have no complaints on our stay or the room, very homey and cozy and comfortable!
