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 StatesWell they changed the name to days inn years back to bad they didn't change the mattresses, mine was hard and to the point you could just feel springs. The free breakfast used to have hot and cold cereal. Not any more. They still have waffles but didn't see any syrup for 2 days no fresh fruit as in the past. Also no peanutbutter for the toast and they switched jellys from Welch's to some generic brand that taste waxy and gummy. If you're gonna cheap out on the breakfast menu for a few cents savings then reinvesting in mattresses for the comfort of your guest and to keep them coming back would be an improvement. No i had a handicapped room and i would suggest, since they went to hard wood floors that are fantastic, they need to in the handicap rooms put a grab rail on the wall by the bed to help us not slip.
It was extremely clean and quiet. It was at a decent price for San Diego but in San Marcos north county San Diego it was in my opinion a little bit much even for a weekend

All of the staff was very friendly and quick to respond or react. And it was clean feeling.

United StatesMy co tenants.people are not respectful of others one person had their garbage and towels in the hallway. No smoking of everything should be enforced. I know it’s an expense but there should be some kind of security presence overnight because people are getting so weird, loud and disrespectful of others and the facility. Don’t be afraid to throw people out when they disrespect your facility and rule.

United Statesfreeway off ramp was right outside the bedroom window. Noisy but the AC does help to drowned it out. Breakfast was skimpy.
the studio was nice with the layout of the room. the couch and tv being separate from the beds give some privacy. If some are ready for bed but others want to stay up.

United StatesThe property outside is dated, older and near other businesses that are a bit run down. Outside areas could be cleaner. Parking lot was busy. The room was tiny and spartan. It was to be expected for what I paid and for just a night to sleep somewhere but I would not choose to stay here for anything more than that.
The room was clean inside. It was affordable. It met my needs of needing only a place to stay for a nigjt.

United StatesThere seemed to be many people who were actually living at the motel. And one evening the high-pitched alarm in the office was sounding. Two officers from the Sheriff's office pulled in before I did. I had to wait in the car away from the building until the alarm went off. It was piercing loud. I did not feel the safest.
The room was very clean when serviced. It was nice to be in between the office and a non-guest room. I liked that there was coffee available every morning.

United StatesI booked 2 nights. I was charged more than half of the room charge at 9:30 am, the day i checked in. I was not allowed to check in until 3. Booking.com's policy is that property will notify you if charged prior to arrival. They did not. When i asked for manager to call, he did not. Staff was rude- telling me thats how they do it and they dont have to notify me. I asked to have a 1 hour late checkout - i was told "we dont do that". I had to fly, did not have a car and had to go to airport 3 hours early. Staff very rude!
