Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesOld outdated which is ok but. The bathroom was nasty, old food in the fridge, two box springs and a thin mattress. If I hadn’t had a non refundable rate I would have gone somewhere else. It served its purpose but not a pleasant one.

CanadaI arrived late and went out for dinner. I noticed there were no bath towels, no hand soap and the bathtub had a line of black mold along it. They only provided a bath mat and 2 hand towels. The coffee maker was just used to heat hot water, there were no filters or a pouch of coffee, just a packet of powder to put into the hot water. I may have been able to ask the desk man for towels and soap but it was late and I just went right to bed after dinner, He was helpful when I checked in. However I don't think I should have to do that, they should be provided automatically by the hotel. Fortunately I did not need to use use the shower or bath. Other than that the hotel is old but clean and well appointed for the most part, with the exception of the bathtub.
Spacious room, old but comfortable furniture, wifi/tv worked great. Great price.

Life
United KingdomCleanlinees is very poor. Dried blood on the headboard. Tufts of hair wafting out from under the bed. Accumulated dust under the chair (moved for better access to plug socket). Splashed food on the wall. Cooker ring foil underguards are caked with previous spilt food and provides unpleasant smells when using the ring. Drawer linings are dirty so any clean items placed in couldn't be trusted. No plug for the sink - used a poor fitting plug from the bath. Curtain rails don't move properly and curtains in the bedroom are too small for the window. Putting soiled paper in an open bin rather than down the loo is something I expect from Central and South America, not Canada! We paid extra for the kitchenette but ended up using most of our own camping equipment in preference.
Wifi is good. Bed is comfortable. Shower is good - lots of hot water. Facilities provided are OK and as expected but the cleanliness is extremely poor.

Guests upstairs were building and moving furniture all night. Ac didn't work, lights kept flickering on and off. Bed sheets had dirt under the comforters. Horrid lighting at night and limited parking. Host was not pleasant. TV didn't work. Terrible experience, place should be shut down.

AustraliaAlthough the room was quite large, it was old, shabby, dark & poorly lit One kitchen chair was stained.and unusable Stove was old, in poor condition & difficult to use Microwave could not be used while other appliances were being used. Bedroom cramped Hot water took a long time to come on and was then only luke warm. Bathroom basin was rusted. We arrived just before 3pm check in. At 3:10pm, the office was still unattended, so we rang the bell by the door but nobody responded, so we went for a walk around town and came back around 30 minutes later. The office was still unattended, so we rang the bell again twice before someone came to open up. In summary, we would not recommend staying there as the description online does not match the property's quality, which is quite poor.
Comfortable beds.

United StatesFast forward to yesterday, the room was disgusting. It smelt heavily like cigarettes. The floor was dirty, there was hair in the sink, nothing in this room felt clean. It felt hard to breathe. It was also 82 degrees in the room with no ability to lower the thermostat. There was a window AC, but it didn’t cool down the room below 80 degrees in the hour we were there. Traveling with my infant son, we were put in a “non-smoking room” which we didn’t feel safe in. We vacated to a nearby hotel and had to shower right away because the short time we were in this hotel we smelt like we rolled in an ashtray. Not worth the money.
Stayed here three years ago, and it was a cheaper accommodation while traveling to Alaska. It was worth the money 3 years ago.

Good internet. Spacious room with couch and coffee table, good t.v.. A window that opens! New laminate flooring. Bathroom walls newly wood-paneled, bathtub newly tiled. Quiet bathroom fan (no jet engine roar). Park right in front of room. Door opens with old-fashioned key (haven't seen one of those in years!) All in all, very comfortable, especially for the price.

United StatesThis place looks like a location to hide from the authorities. It is extremely run down and has kind of a third world vibe The floor in the room had soft spots, and the toilet was canted at an angle. There was a sign in the bathroom to put used toilet paper in the waste basket, as putting it in the toilet would cause problems with the septic/sewer. The only time I have seen something similar was in the Middle East. There weren't any pillowcases on the pillows, and the sheets looked questionable. I'm not sure how this motel has a three-star rating, as one star would be more accurate.
The wifi was better than I expected. The internet at a hotel down the street was much worse.
