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 StatesThe bed was extremely uncomfortable. There was no inside shower curtain, so the water got all over the floor. Room smaller than other motel 6 I have stayed.
The area and rooms were clean. The staff were friendly and helpful. Like that there was plenty of parking and close the store and places to eat.

PolandIt is a bit noisy, as the motel is situated next to the main street.
Everything was okey, a typical american motel. Nothing special but if you stay for just 1-2 days is fine.

United StatesThey didn’t tell me they only service the room every other day and even then, when I asked for my room to be done it still wasn’t cleaned the third day. This in a motel 6 over $200 a night was unacceptable.
Great location very clean, very well lit at night with ample parking right outside the room. Very nice staff. The room was fine, small but adequate. It appears to be a place construction workers stay.

United KingdomWalls were paper thin, could hear guest’s conversation in next rooms. Facilities weren’t that good, no way of making a drink. No fridge or microwave like advertised. Expensive for what you got.
It was clean, within walking distance to shops, restaurants etc but needed a car to get to the centre of Santa Barbara

United StatesLoud toilet flush sounded like a splashing waterfall. Two soaps great! TV awesome. Neighbood safe for walking around. Asked for AARP discount, but don't think I got it. Too tired to check again. Swimming pool looked icky.
There were loud Hispanic workers staying at the Hotel that were a distraction to our 'quiet time'. The toilet flush was really LOUD. All else decent.

United StatesThe staff accommodated, but under the conditions of, "we don't normally do this" for simple things such as providing a package of shampoo or letting me back into my room when I locked myself out. The walls were very thin, lacked insulation and there was a lot of noise from the street and the room above us.
We came to town for a funeral. It was hard to find a hotel with two beds in this price range. The beds were comfortable. They lent us an iron, which was nice.

AustraliaThe tap water didn't taste drinkable, but when I went to the vending machine to buy a bottle of water the machine swallowed my $5 because there was no waters left, and it didn't give me anything or return my money. The staff said there was nothing they could do about it but at least offered to fill my water bottle with some drinking water.
Fairly affordable place, nothing special but it did the job of providing a bed. Nice coffee shop and a cheap sandwich place just across the road.
