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.).

Staff were extremely accommodating and friendly. It was an extremely cool room even in a hot, humid condition outside. The area seems safe

CanadaThere's no wi-fi. If you're going to Cedar Point without a car, the motel is a bit far, so you'll have to pay for a taxi. I would suggest "A Sandusky Cab". Good luck trying to get an Uber, cause' there's none when I was in Sandusky on a weekend solo trip. If you're looking to cool off, there's no pool. But from what I heard from the staff, you can get ice and water for the room. As for the rest, nothing else negative can be said about Seacrest Motel.
The staff was friendly, the room was nice and air-conditioned, beds are comfortable, power outlets are avaliable for charging phones or tablets, and bathroom is included. As for breakfast, it is not included with the motel, but there is a nearby Kroger with a Starbucks cafe, just of a short walking distance.

United StatesZERO complaints! Love this place. Only suggestion would be some air freshener in the rooms could be a nice addition.
I've stayed here a couple times, and Seacrest has already become THE place for me to stay when visiting Cedar Point. Nick (the owner) epitomizes everything good about small motels - individual customer service, a smiling face, and sincerity and charm that is lacking from corporate properties. One time, I had a late meeting and Nick graciously gave me a super late checkout with zero hassle. Another time, I had a late arrival, and Nick stayed up personally to greet me (sorry for the late night, Nick!) The location is super convenient, and the rooms are clean. The rooms are exactly how every roadside motel used to be - park out front, with the room layout we all remember. Even the traditional keyring - love it :). Nothing fancy, but it's clean and quiet, and all you need before or after a day at Cedar Point.

United StatesWe liked everything!
Friendly owner, so accommodating and relaxed! We will definitely be staying again. We love the vintage room, so nostalgic and brought back great memories when all hotel/motel rooms were like this. The rooms, bathrooms, carpeting - basically everything - were absolutely spotless. Oh - and the water pressure is second to none in the shower.. if you are looking for something fancy or modern, this may not be for you, but that's fine. Plenty of places to stay near the Lake Erie islands and this one is on our list going forward!

United StatesThere isn't anything that I didn't like.
Nick greeted me upon arrival. Very pleasant man. Showed me where to park and informed me of when he had coffee made in the morning. I like my coffee anytime of the day and he offered to make me a pot for the evening. I asked for recommendations to eat at which he provided. The location was off the street enough that it was not noisy. I would stay here again and recommend this motel to anyone.

CanadaEverything was good.
It suited my plans exactly. The owner, Nick, is very friendly, caring and personable. There was a mini fridge and microwave and the wifi worked fine. Because of price I think, the word “Motel” can sometimes be regarded as a lesser quality accommodation. Not so with the Seacrest. I was impressed.

This property is a traditional motel. It is rather dated but was exceptionally clean and spacious enough for a few people. Owner Nick was on sight and ready to help. Overall, I would definitely stay here again.

United StatesThis place was great. Nick the owner was very accommodating. He made sure I had everything I needed and I didn’t even have to ask. I didn’t feel Seacreast was outdated. Probably hasn’t been updated since the 70s. I felt it was nostalgic. Don’t change a thing! Very clean. Cold a/c. Great price. I would definitely stay there again!
