How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Owner gave me a hard time and asked details about my disability when we travelled with my service dog. Had to produce documentation papers for the service dog so I didn't have to pay for the dog cleaning fee. Too many personal questions.
Decent place to stay for a night. Clean and everything I needed.

Very very clean. The owner was so nice and accommodating the only thing I had a problem with was there wasn't enough lighting in the bathroom for the shower but other than that I will be going and staying again excellent little motel and price was more than reasonable just loved it and will be staying again but cleanliness was just exceptional it's cleaner than any other hotel I've stayed in!! Oh and could use a coffee pot in the rooms but other than little more lighting and a coffee pot in room that's all I can point out that is an issue but not gonna stop me from staying again.

The father that owns this with the mother and daughter whom also run it was EXTREMELY hostile and rude. I came downstairs to throw my bag in the car its 2minutes until checkout my boyfriend is finishing up in the shower, the man says he's walking me up to our room to check our room, keep in mind 20 minutes before this we was knocking on our door taking the key, telling me I will be charged per minute that I'm not out of there and that he already told me yesterday which no the fuxk he did not, i am 29 had bright green hair at the time and covered in tats and piercings, I'm going to have to assume he made assumptions with his I'm coming up with you. This is why you put a card on file. So that was UNNECESSARY. The extreme disrespect and tone in his voice was enough for me to leave the whole state following that. I would like to say I've stayed more than once, the daughter is the sweetest human. She should handle all their guests because the dad should never ever talk to a young women that way. Imagine if someone got in his daughters face thw way he got in mine at 11am after we checked in around 4am. And I get it we checked our around 1105 but 5 minutes? Allllll that over 5 minutes? I'd pay 200 extra to NEVER feel that way again.
The property outside is clean and nice and quaint.

The hotel is located in a dry county, which never crossed my mind when I booked it, so I had to drive to Cave City in the neighbouring county to get a few alcoholic beverages to drink in my room since there was nothing to do at night in the vicinity. Luckily it was only a 10-minute drive away.
The price was right and the man who checked me in was friendly. The wifi and fridge worked well. Since I was driving it was relatively convenient to get to the caves I was in the area to see.

Being woke up at 8:30a.m to be reminded that check out is at 10 a.m, kinda a ripoff can't check in before 3 with paying extra and being woke up to find out you don't have that hour is kinda ridiculous
