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.).

Nothing negative!
What a wonderful place for us to have stayed! We experienced car problems and the staff went out of their way to help us... They came and picked us up at 10:00 at night and took us back to the hotel so we did not have to stay with our stranded car. The next morning they let us stay in an extra room until our car could be serviced. The ladies who run the hotel were exceptionally nice and helpful. The breakfast was individually prepared and delicious. This hotel went out of its way to make us feel welcome and secure. A+++++

It's a bit dated but that was okay with us, kinda nostalgic.
Very pleasant, well cared for and comfortable old school motel very convenient to town and highway yet quiet. Our room was clean and beds were comfortable however it is an older property with dated furnishings. The breakfast was great, fresh made to order eggs, pancakes, sausages, fruit and yogurt. The people who work here are all lovely, friendly and kind. This was a sweet respite from the road in a lovely town.

I can't really think of anything I didn't like. Overall, it fit my needs perfectly and I like staying there. It's lovely.
I have stayed here before and wanted to re-book. The hotel is very comfortable and clean. They provide a lovely breakfast and the location is perfect. We parked the car and walked everywhere we wanted to go in town.

Petty but I love coffee in my room as I prep for the day. There was no clock in the room. Price was a bit high. The soap/shampoo dispenser in tub area was either empty or I wasn’t pushing it hard enough?
Location cannot be beat! Breakfast was fantastic! Bed was comfortable! Owner/staff easy to communicate with.i was able to open the window for fresh air and that’s nice. Shower was good.

The price difference between booking.com and reservations via the inn's website. I realized too late that there was a $50 difference.
Location was great. Easier to access on foot than I had imagined (we arrived on the train). Playground was a nice walk down the road. Breakfast was very homey and lovely. We would definitely stay there again.

The guests and staff were quiet and respectful; however, the room we had was close to the front door and the breakfast room, so we could hear people coming in late, leaving early, and having breakfast, so it wasn't as quiet as I would have liked.
The breakfast was great. The lady who cooked our eggs was very friendly. Also, the person who checked us in was helpful and very nice. Great staff here!
