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.).

Verified reviewLovely little motel in one of the most beautiful towns on the East coast. The owner was extremely friendly. The room was perfect size and included a thick information binder detailing all the sites, restaurants (include menus!) and absolutely anything you could possibly want to do or see while in St Andrews. Beautiful outdoor space with table/chairs surrounded by apple trees. Extremely close to the best EV charger in town. Close to all the best places to eat, shop - and of course the ocean.
N/A, everything was perfect

Verified reviewThe property is close to everything and I’ve always wanted to stay here when I was younger. It’s so cute and has vintage vibes.
The bedsheets were clean, but there are noticeable stains on them😬😑😵💫 A bad was comfortable, but had a large dip on one side, so was sort of stuck in one spot

Verified reviewVery little
For the price we paid, we felt we received inferior accommodation. From the time we checked in and were required to individually sign a number of additional rules like no cooking in units, no cannabis use anywhere on property, etc, we knew this would be a different experience. Motel is dated, our two- bed room had only one night table, hairs from past guests were evident in the bathroom, blankets/ pillows and beds were second class and detached location made a walk to town too far. The nightly cost should have been at least 1/3 less in comparison to other stays on our vacation trip. Will never stay here again!

Verified reviewThe 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.
There was nothing that we didn't like.

Verified reviewWe 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.
We liked everythng.

Verified reviewYou 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!
