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 StatesIt is an older property, and some features need repairs or updating. For example, the locks on our door didn’t line up properly, so it was difficult to secure our door at night. It was an old door - over the years the door and/or frame had warped a little. Just needs some TLC.
The location was perfect, the manager/owner was very welcoming and friendly, and our family always tries to support independent, family-run establishments.

United StatesThe rooms could use some love. The aged decor truly isn't a big deal, but small maintenance items needs some attention, ie re-calk tub, tape a drywall seam, fasten a piece of trim, etc. Our front door was noisy to open/close. Probably just needs a little adjustment but it was super annoying at 6am trying to avoid waking the kids. The AC was loud but kept the room cool on +90 degree days.
This stay was a great value. If you don't need the frills of a big hotel, this will suite you well. Keep in mind this is a 1 star motel. The rooms are likely the same from the 70s but it's clean, has cold AC, hot water, and comfy beds. Our room had a small fridge (that actually worked well) and a microwave. Perfect to save a few bucks. The owner was incredibly nice and helpful. Plenty of outdoor seating and parking at your front door. The motel is located near a Kroger and right down the road from Jolly Donut (breakfast and donuts are wonderful). Minutes from Jackson St pier, goofy golf, sandusky mall, Cedar Point, and many other points of interest.

United StatesI personally don’t have a problem with the property, it is an older hotel, so if you are looking for new and shiny, I wouldn’t recommend it. but if you don’t mind an older place it’s worth the money.
the property is conveniently located near cedar point, it’s literally within 10 minutes.

United StatesThis family built and owned "vintage" motel is adorable! I met the owner Nick and spoke to him on the phone a few times for accommodations. Not only did he call me to see if i needed another night to my stay but also told me i could check in early and he turned the AC on for me before we came to make sure it would be cool. When I arrived to check in, I met the original owner Vicky (Nick's Mom) and she was so sweet! If you're looking for a quaint, comfortable, well priced place to stay in or near Sandusky, go here!

United StatesI reached out to the owner about my young daughters staying after a day at CP. We were nervous of them driving after a long day. Patrick reached out and said he would watch over them. He greeted them, walked them to the room and told them (same as we did) “Park in front of the door and stay in that room the rest of the night, don’t leave and call if they needed anything.” I appreciate the kindness and care my daughters received. Thank you!
