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 StatesNo cups in the room for hot tea, and no coffee
The staff was really nice. Check in was easy and our room was clean and available, plus there is parking. We were able to walk to our evening venue. The only thing is there was no coffee. They provided a water kettle if requested, and we brought our own tea. But there were no cups to use. We had a king size bed and it was comfortable. And the towels were good.

Our room in the motel was fine - big enough and included everything we wanted. Parking is obviously a plus point for a central accommodation. There’s an outside, upstairs deck which was pleasant.

United KingdomExtremely loud guests got woken up around 3am on two separate occasions with really loud talking and laughter. Disrupted the one night stay. Shame some guests can't respect the rules and other paying guests.
Big room, overall pretty clean. Nice location at the top of the main street so easy to get to all the local shop eateries etc. Staff were warm and welcoming. Parking on site.

The location was very good, right on State Street so we were able to walk to the restaurants. The room was clean. I think the price matched what we got, which was nothing fancy but comfortable

Sri LankaThe sun shade on the window made an awful racket when it was blown by the wind, so you either had to leave it all the way open and have no privacy, or close it fully, which doesn't allow the lovely natural sunlight in. And at night, the lights from the hallway and general outdoor lights were hard to block out fully. Blinds and curtains would be MUCH better, since they would better allow the breeze through.
The location was great; there are quite a few restaurants and cafes just a few minutes walk away. It is not right next to the beach, it is about a 40 minute walk, or a 10-15 minute bike ride away. I used one of the free bikes, but the tires were not pumped up, and it was much too small for me, so it was pretty hard to make it back up the hill to the motel. Anyway! The room was a good size, and the bed was soft. Pillows were a nice firmness, too. The sundeck was great, I loved being able to sit out there and enjoy the Santa Barbara ambiance, but I do wish there had been some shaded areas, because I burn super quickly.

United StatesBugs under my bed. The young man from front desk was very nice and brought over a vacuum to clean the room. The carpet was so dirty that I walked bare feet for a little bit and my feet was black. The bed was okay. A little hard for my taste. One side of the bed was more comfortable than the other side. No coffee- such bummer, but there was a market near buy to walk and purchase some. Just keep in mind they open at 7am. I wake up usually at 5, so I had to wait for the market to open to have some coffee. The bathroom window was open and I could not close it. Bugs kept coming in through little holes. The blinds on the windows are so big for it, people could see inside. I had to arrange with pillows so I didn’t feel like people could watch me sleep. This hotel just needs some fixing up.
The location, the front desk people were very helpful. Great manners and polite.
