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 KingdomVery personalised service. Unique atmosphere. Items brought out fresh for breakfast. The local brewery Calfax Ale Cellar, good for food as well as drink, is very friendly and within walking distance. Nearby Climax Canyon is ideal for a short hike.

CanadaReally enjoyed our stay at the Raton Pass Motor Inn - nice to find unique, comfortable accommodations for the same price or less as a generic and often mediocre chain hotel. The property was well-maintained and loved the theme rooms and retro decor. The location was great, close to I-25 and within walking distance of town. Friendly owners, free coffee and nibbles to start the day and a quiet night’s sleep - what’s not to like?

United StatesWhat was not to like? Nothing.
The motor inn was easy to find. If you are heading north on 25 take the last exit for Raton; if you're heading south on 25 take the first exit for Raton. There was hot coffee and a cold breakfast. Quite appropriate. The owners were gracious and accommodating. The rooms were thematically decorated.

The owners were so nice and very accommodating and the room was decorated so cute! They even had some nice amenities like a doggie relief area and fire pit and BBQ and grab and go breakfast! Highly reccomend!

It’s a quaint older property that is very well kept. The rooms were well decorated. The beds were very comfortable and the property was very quiet. A wonderful stay and if I am back this way I will stay again.

AustriaThe neighbours could be heard through the wall. I was hoping to observe the stars at night from the safety of the hotel parking area, but there were just too many lights around.
Michael and Brandy were extremely friendly and welcoming. They gave us lots of information about what to do in the area. The breakfast provided was very good. The rooms have different themes, and our "Santa Fe Trail" room was tastefully decorated. The hotel is on the edge of town, and so is relatively quiet in terms of passing traffic.

The room was not your average room. It was a vintage style room. I enjoyed the style. The coffee was great the next morning, too. They had a lot of vintage stuff in where they had breakfast goodies. It's a great little place to stay.

United StatesWhat a unique spot to stay for a night! The owners were so easy to work with and had clear instructions for accessing our room as we arrived late at night. The vintage charm of the main office, the cozy breakfast table and breakfast bites and the comfort of our room made our stay memorable. Would definitely stay here again if we are ever in the area!

GermanyThe Motel is in a quiet location but close to the historic district. The owners and staff are ever so friendly and helpful. I understand that the rooms are all different. I was in the pin-up room, just great! A flashback into the 1950s. Even though the Motel seems to be from that time, it is in very good shape. I travel a lot, this is one of my favourites! Highly recommended.

United StatesI cant say that there was anything I didn't like.
The place was older but had been well cared for and had a nostalgic theme which I thought was very quaint and enjoyed and was very clean . Staff was very friendly and helpful. My door locked but as it was older didn't fit right the latch did not keep the door latched the dead bolt did work and secured the door well enough for me to feel safe.

United StatesWhat a gem! So much character, comfortable beds (HUGE king bed), incredibly friendly staff. Nice small limited breakfast assortment. 100% will stay here again. Stay here if you want something different than your typical motel while still being somewhat affordable. No frills, older AC/heat units and bathrooms, but that was not an issue.

United StatesThe floor isn't level, seriously unlevel in multiple spots. This could be a problem with those with mobility issues.
The bed seems hard but you kind of sink into it, it was very comfortable. Plenty of pillows and amazing hot water. Nice big room, very clean!
