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 StatesSee above.
The info about the motel said there was a free breakfast, but that was not true. I understand that such amenities may be cancelled at any time, but I booked this motel in part because of the free breakfast.

United StatesThe bathroom and beds are too high. The mattress is super comfortable, but you need a stepladder to actually get in the bed.
Front desk personnel was EXTREMELY friendly!!! Very convenient first floor room makes it easy to load and unload your car.

United StatesAir conditioning was not on when we got there. We needed to change for a wedding and we were sweating in the room. The beds were very high. I literally had to have my husband boost me up onto the bed as I am a short woman and could not get up on the bed by myself.
The breakfast was a to-go bag which we did not take. The room was clean.

United StatesNo breakfast was included, though advertised. I could have reserved another hotel cheaper than this which didn't advertised a breakfast. Nothing on the table, no coffee or even water. I told the receptionist that I was not happy of that, and she was so kind to fill for us (6 people with 2 kids) a bag for each of us with a bottle of water and some cookies. Thanks a lot to her, she really tried to solve the problem. I suggest that we could receive compensation for the inconvenience.
The location was convenient, the room was clean and cozy.

United StatesTwo of the reasons I booked here were that it offered breakfast and had a pool. There was neither. Breakfast was a coffee machine, and the pool still had the cover over it. No explanation given, but since this was stated on the website, it feels like false advertising.
Clean rooms, partially updated. Liked the fact that the floors weren't carpeted and were vinyl plank instead. Cheap.

United StatesThis property said it had free breakfast..it was a paperbag with a granola bar, fruit cup, juice box, and other similar items. It is very misleading to call that a free breakfast in the advertisement. And most importantly, this should have been either a much nicer facility for the nightly cost, or it should have cost less. I realize the location is a desirable area, but the cost for basically a standard motel room is excessive. And of course, the "breakfast."
The location is why we stayed here. And it was fairly clean and the staff was polite.

CanadaI was told that breakfast is 6 to 9 at lobby and when I came there was just a coffee.I ringed the bell to front desk and after maybe 5mins lady showed and give us small bag with juice, water and cheap sweet. This is not a breakfast and shouldn't be listed in the price. What a joke. Big money rip off.
Room was nice and clean and good size. Just the floor should be swipped more often.
