How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

- • Solo traveller
- • Standard Queen Room - Non Smoking

It looks like someone had spilled coffee on the kitchen floor and there were crumbs all over the floor as well. Perhaps it wasn't fully cleaned before I was offered the room. I didn't complain as I just rolled into town to sleep and carry on with my long road trip the following morning.
I had requested a ground floor room as I was assaulted two months ago, due to multiple injuries stairs are very difficult for me. They didn't have a ground floor room of what I had reserved available when I arrived but when I mentioned my trouble with stairs, the staff member gave me a free upgrade to a double room with a kitchenette, which ended up being really lovely as I was able to use the sink/stove since this was supposed to be a camping trip. However, the first night in Merritt BC a windstorm took down and broke my brand new tent. I had a cooler of food to prepare and eat. So having a fridge, freezer and stove for the evening was wonderful. I thought I was just gonna find some place nearby to go eat. It was great that I didn't have to spend more money that I wasn't counting on spending with the room and dining out.

I called ahead to make sure the pool was operational before booking. Lady said yes an asked if i wanted to book, i said i wasnt wanting to book til i knew i would make it to that hotel for the night, and she straight up hung up on me without even a goodbye lol. The main sink in the room.wasnt draining very well Pool sucked!! It was the only reason I chose the hotel. For the 24/7 hottub. The pool was ice cold and had bugs floating in it. The hottub was barely lukewarm. Broken down gym room was unlocked. Good gym room was locked. Called once for the code, she said it wasnt locked. Went back had to take a picture. Showed her at thw front desk, an she gave me the code
The bed was amazing and the room was great. Excellent shower pressure and didnt run out of hot water when i showered in the am.

We were chilly in bed the first night.....however we asked for blankets the next morning and they were cheerfully supplied. That night we were warm & comfortable.
Breakfast has a very good selection. Rooms were quiet & comfortable. Liked the pet friendly room on the ground floor.

- • Standard King Room - Non Smoking

We booked a king room which the guy 'upgraded' to a jacuzzi room. This room is a great size with the jacuzzi, a small kitchen area and separate sitting are BUT it was in desperate need of an upgrade with cracked floors, broken shower door, hairdryer did not work, drawers loose on the kitchen and rust in certain areas of the bathroom. The photos on your website do not reflect the condition of the room we were given, they made it look a lot nicer.
Breakfast was good for the included price. The guy on the desk was lovely, very friendly and attentive. Best location for the hospital which was the aim of our visit, literally 5 mins away and parking was cheap too

Room was not heated on initially checking in. However, staff and management were able to move us quickly to a heated room.
Great location. Management and staff are very accommodating. Great place to stop over for a night or more. Rooms have almost full kitchen. Wonderful breakfast. Manager was on site and made us fresh eggs in the morning for breakfast. A very nice and polite man. Thank you very much! We will see you again.

No comfortable chair. Just a desk chair. Quite a bit of exposed wiring made things look untidy. Quite a small room with the bed taking up most of the space. Not much storage space.
Only two levels with parking available close by. Easy access from the highway. The room was clean and reasonably fresh. I always appreciate a good pod coffee machine. Accessible AC outlets. Efficient air conditioning. A well presented bathroom with updated features.

It was nice to have a free breadfast. We arrived around 9 and there was plenty left for us. The location of the motel was perfect for us becausse I wanted to play bowling and the bowling lanes were less than a block away. It was so fun and there were some pool tables also. What a laugh!
