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.).

The room was recently renewed and the bed was very comfy. Nice plants in front of the building and colourful paintings on the walls of the building. Good place to stay for one night for this price.

United Statesthe floors and the furniture were pretty beat up and old. It was a small room and could not easily fit the furniture. There was a table and chair in the room. the table was helpful but the chair was unusable due to space. When it says State street it is all the way at the opposite end from downtown.
The value for being in Santa Barbara was great. The bed was nice and the bathroom was clean and modern. Great to have a fridge in the room. There was a street vendor selling tacos across the street at night which was great.

United StatesMattresses were run down with dips in them. TV had only one channel. Internet was pretty much non existent. But I was only there to sleep in the hotel and visit friends, so it wasn’t too big a deal. Just more of a hassle.
Clean, great neighborhood, courteous staff, great shower. Close to a Great donut shop and a breakfast place.

United StatesWas definitely not the cleanest. There was literally blood on the wall in the bathroom. Another issue is that the front desk was sporadically missing. Seems like only one person was manning the main building. There was often people waiting outside to check in because staff was gone.

United StatesThe towels were a little more raggedy/not soft than I’d like, but besides the price (which, again, is still on the cheap side for Santa Barbara), that’s really my only complaint. Also wasn’t a big fan of the door not having a chain or secondary latch of any kind considering I was a woman traveling alone, but I just moved the table in front of the door and it wasn’t a concern.
Is it worth $140 a night? Not really. But considering that’s about as cheap as it gets for Santa Barbara, it was a solid stay. Clean enough, comfy enough. Good location, in walking distance of a lot of stores/restaurants and only a couple minutes drive to downtown.

United StatesThe towels were not particularly soft, and there weren't many. Sufficient to our needs, but just barely.
Great location! While the room is small, the space is used quite efficiently. The refrigerator was a good size, and there are a lot of restaurants and markets in walking distance, so great if one doesn't want to eat out all the time. Staff were friendly, too!

GermanyFor our taste the Motel was too far from downtown Santa Barbara and had no pool, which we both of course knew when we booked.
Small Motel. Good room for 5 people. 2x queen size and a pull out Couch. Not even a mile up the road there is a fantastic little Indian Restaurant and a Starbucks for coffee in the morning.
