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):
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.).

CanadaThere was nothing that we didn't like.
The motel was very easy to find and was located close to everything. The staff was great and very friendly. The room was very clean and the mini fridge was a wonderful surprise. The seating area outside was lovely and provided viewing of local deer.

United StatesWe liked everythng.
We started staying at Picket fence when we still had our Corgis. The facility overall is immaculate, even the doggy-friendly rooms. The hostess, Sue, is very friendly and accomodating. Their location in St. Andrews is within walking distance to the waterfront downtown, if you prefer. We highly recommend Picket Fence and will book it again next time we travel to Nova Scotia.

CanadaYou can tell the owners take pride in their Motel. The lawn was freshly cute, the doors are yellow and match the garden furniture. Everything was clean, and there were modern updates mixed with the classic charm of the Motel. 10/10 I will definitely stay there again!

It is a nice, charming, and comfortable motel. Our hostess was lovely, helpful and accommodating. We needed to find a place at the very last minute, and staff were able to accommodate us. I’d stay again if we are in the area again.

CanadaAbsolutely nothing. Every other motel and hotel should look to the Picket Fence as a model by which they set their standards. They sure have raised the bar for my expectations!
I really appreciated this motel. You can tell the owners really thought through what should be available to their guests. They provide a binder in each room detailing all that Saint Andrews has to offer. Everything was spotless, clean and comfortable. My fiance and I have stayed in a lot of hotels over the years and this little motel had the highest standard of cleanliness bar none. The owners are highly thoughtful and really seem to appreciate each and every one of their guests. It seemed as though they truly thought of everything. From the light over the bed to the luminescence of the bulb used in the bathroom in comparison to the bedroom. The addition of the outlet so that both sides of the bed had access to a power outlet did not go unnoticed! Everything just seemed to be of exceptional quality (even the TP!) And those little lemon candies...those little candies hit just right when my stomach started growling in the middle of the night. Thank you both for the wonderful stay.

CanadaWe loved everything! We were on our honeymoon road trip from ontario. We chose to stay here cause of the reviews on booking , and bou were they all right. Our room was super clean, more clean than most hotels I've worked or stayed at. They seem to have a good housekeeping system going on there. The owners were absolutely amazing 👏 they let us know about all the places we should visit and eat at. Our second day there, we had to do some work on our car, and the owners husband helped us a bit and let us use his tools. We are truly grateful for that. Our stay was perfect! Thank you!
