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 reviewGood location
Some crazy people hanging around this place at nighttime making noise. There was no replacement toilet paper and when I went to ask for some they had trouble finding some. When signing in and out the individual was very unfriendly and made you feel like I was a big inconvenience.

Verified reviewAside from decades of stale cigarette smoke embedded in the walls, the room itself was okay. I didn't really "like" anything I experienced.
Broken furniture and crap piled into every alcove around the building. Everyone is allowed to smoke right outside their rooms and on patios so keeping a door open wasn't an option. I arrived to find a twisted broken screen door from my sliding glass door just lying on the patio, amd when I called to report it the owner/ manager said it was fine. I said it wasn't it fine because for $150/night I would have expected it to be removed before I arrived (he obviously knew it was there), and when he came up he didn't remove it. He just stood it up and leaned it against the wall of the patio. Also there was a hole where the button to turn on the air conditioning was, and I had to get him to come look, at which point he stuck a pencil in it to turn it on and left me the pencil. Also the pool was supposed to open at 9am and didn't open til 12:30pm, and had garbage and dirty towels left there for the two days I was there. Just to name a few things...Also I still haven't received a return on my whopping $200 damage deposit, which makes me very nervous. Not sure how I could have done more damage than was already done. And there may or may not have been a cockroach underneath the coffeemaker...

Verified reviewQuiet location. Walking distance to restaurants and stores. Small but clean looking outdoor swimming pool. Beautiful hanging flowers on outside of building. Dog friendly room.
Trash at end of outdoor stairwell to second floor. Cigarette ends on stairwell. Outdoor light outside room and no light-blocking curtains, so room was not dark. Air-conditioner was louder than normal, and kept waking me up.

Verified reviewClean and convenient location
The atmosphere is quite unpleasant. From what I understood, many people practically live there, and the environment feels very heavy. There were shirtless people sitting in the hallways smoking weed. The hotel manager was irresponsible and not around when needed. On the day of checkout, he told us we had to wait until he woke up and arrived (around 10 am), which meant we couldn’t continue our trip early because he had stayed up late. Later, we read in the news that a man was stabbed at this place. I’m not surprised!

Verified reviewThere was nothing to like
We had our booking cancelled at 7am - the day we were traveling- because I didn’t get back to the manager of the property with cc info. When we booked using a booking site, it had said no cc was necessary. The email went to junk mail because of my filter settings, and I was driving for 10 hours that day, often without service in the mountains, just to arrive and have him (manager) say he cancelled the booking. At 930pm, with kids exhausted, we now had no where to stay. Oh but there was actually a room left (likely ours originally), but for like double the price of the booking site. It is such a SCAM. AVOID this motel! In the morning he was not even around for checkout until after 9am, and had multiple people angry and waiting to leave. It’s such a sketchy neighborhood too so I ended up getting up almost every hour at night to check on our stuff and car outside. NEVER staying there again.
