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 StatesFun place to stay. This was our 2nd time. The owners and staff are welcoming and helpful. I will be back. The main street is a block away with lots of fun shops and places to eat. We were able to leave our car and just walk which felt very relaxing.

United StatesA breakfast would have been nice, it is almost expected now days however this is a retro motel. The rooms are a bit on the smaller side however very clean and well kept.
Very retro Highway 66 like motel, it felt like a step back in time! Very clean facility and comfortable bed. The staff was very nice and accommodating. My wife had foot surgery and when we booked this room a year ago we didn't know that. I contacted the motel and even though they were booked full they were able to move us from the second floor to the first floor. (There are no elevators) Parking is right out the door.

United StatesThe mustiness that was worse in the lobby and downstairs than in our rooms on the second floor bothered those of us with allergies and asthma.
We loved the cool retro vibe and the kitchen area for guests to use designed to look and feel like a 50s diner.

United StatesThe air inside felt a little damp, but we also had some rainy days. No real complaints.
Staff was very friendly. I loved that the room came with a binder full of local suggestions and a room-by-room listing of songs that have been composed in the hotel. Super comfy retro spaces. Easy parking. Central, walkable location. Firepit available. I appreciated the personal touch of all the little notes in different places around the room to let us know the best outlets to use for the fridge... how the drapery pulls work... etc.

United StatesNothing really. You have to take it for what it is. If you want a pool, breakfast and big suites, there are other places. If you want to step in a time capsule, but still be comfortable and have an amazingly friendly staff who truly appreciates you being there, then this is the place.
Absolutely loved the real, vintage authenticity of the place. All original furniture (not beds!) and fixtures in the rooms. And everything was spotless and fully functional. Owner lives on site and is super friendly and gracious.

United StatesThere was absolutely nothing we didn't like!
My husband and I stayed here for two nights. We love the staff, the motel, the room, the vibe, the property, the comfort, the cleanness, the area, and the neighborhood... not one complaint! We felt instantly welcomed. We hung out in town for a day with heaps to do right outside the motels doors. We also spent a day driving, shopping, and eating as far north as Sister Bay (about 40 mins), stopping many beautiful places along the way. The location allowed us to really see and enjoy all areas of Door County Peninsula. At night, when returning to the Motel, we felt like we were coming home. We.slept so soundly and peacefully. Enjoy and embrace your stay at Holiday Music Motel!! We'll be back!
