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 reviewThe only thing we liked about our trip was the beach and sightseeing.
Staying at this Inn/Hotel was the worst experience ever. From day 1 ( out of 7 ) I had asked to change rooms. By the multi tasked personnel that worked there, I was told they were fully backed ( NOT ). The lady that worked there took care of the people coming in, she's also a waitress there, she also cleans the rooms and also has her ice cream business there. Her boss treats her like a slave. I can rant for days....but what I will say, I've never been in a room where it has been painted in the past and paint spots everywhere. Another interesting thing we noticed, their are no drawers to put our clothes that we had for a weeks stay. The two chairs and table in the room were used for that. So sad. I'm surprised this place hasn't gone up into flames and one of the wall outlets was burnt and it also had the A/C and mini fridge hooked up to that plug. That's a serious violation and hazard. The best of all, the washroom. It was 3 feet × 4.5 feet that's including the shower. I was able to go to the toilet and brush my teeth at the same time. The two real disappointments were.....I first contacted to owner of the establishment and he didn't care two flying birds about my issues. Also contacting Booking.com was very disappointing, I've called and complained about this establishment, sent out photos and videos. The best they did was credit me less than 10% of my 1 week stay. Shame on them. A REAL DISAPPOINTMENT.

Verified reviewVery close to the beach and dining places. The room has very soothing blue on the wall and bed covers. I love the mechanical A/C that reminds me of the days my parents brought me to beachside cottages——moments I am glad I passionately held tight in my heart! The staff were very very friendly and the chatting was delightful and laughter-filled!! The washroom is pristine clean with very nice shower head!! There was a fridge that I could put in some beverages to cool off my body temperature after a long hot day. I simply had a very good time trying this new place!!
Can’t think of anything!!

Verified reviewThe location was great...close to the harbour and beach. The one bed was great and it was nice to have a microwave and fridge at our disposal. We were able to keep our freezer packs frozen with the use of the upstairs freezer...thank you.
ould really use some painting...more insulation between room B and A. We could hear a lot of noise coming from that room throughout the night...even loud voices.

Verified reviewI will say Michelle was lovely super helpful The only reason I want to write this review is to mention how rude the owner is - he forwards the calls for the motel to his personal cell phone and then gets very ornery when you call the property
The owner - horrible customer service We left a pillow behind and asked if it could be left at the front desk - he didn’t pick up the first several calls, no voicemail option, and then got extremely angry and was swearing when we did get in touch with him We explained that we have family leaving the town at 10, we’d like to know if the pillow is there so we could have them pick it up It took 2 days to get an answer and then he absolutely reamed us out for calling and inquiring I would say maybe don’t forward the property’s line to your cell phone if you don’t want to be reached by your paying guests

Verified reviewThis is our 3 yr staying at the Windspire …always found our rooms to be quite nice. This year we had a room on the bottom floor … great for my husband who has bad legs. Although the room was very nice the noise from the parking lot outside the windows & the gate outside the unit was most disturbing. The hosts were very cordial, helping and friendly. We will be back again next maybe to one of the other rooms on the second floor.
The parking lot noise ….however, more so the gate beside the unit.

Verified reviewBed was comfortable and the room was clean.
Room and shower were very small. The door was not properly fitted to the frame, with large gaps at the top and bottom. Light from the hall leaked into the room all night. We never got to see any management personnel our entire 2 night stay.

Verified reviewThe room was tight but served its purpose as a haven in a storm. It was on a quieter street so that was good.
Small room, close quarters, needed updating. It lacked amenities such as wash cloths, coffee/tea, cups, mugs, etc.

Verified reviewThe room was quite spacious and it had everything I needed for a relaxing weekend! An added bonus was the mini fridge and microwave plus the tv that had various streaming apps available. The overall inn had a warm, welcoming and comfortable feel to it and it really had the "country" vibe! I also loved how close this place was to the lake/beach and to grocery stores.
Interestingly enough my room did not have a trash can, so I ended up collecting my trash over the few days I was there and discarded it at the end of my stay. I am sure if I had asked the front desk they would have been happy to provide one! Parking was rather tight even though I had a smaller car, so be prepared for that and the bathrooms can be a little tight as well. There is no complimentary breakfast as some booking sites suggest for this place, but there is a restaurant that supposedly has great fish and chips located just downstairs.
