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):
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.
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.).

United StatesHate the window treatments. Lots of large windows in front and back all at walking height. Need solid drapes to foil curious passersby and provide proper privacy. The frosted window in the shower is also totally insufficient.
Has all the conveniences including a full kitchen. Everything is quite old, but functional.

United StatesRoom design rather dated. Bath room caulking was broken, bathtub should be redone. Would have not felt comfortable taking a bath, but was ok as a shower.
Clean, no complaints about service at all. Large kitchen with all you need. Warm water and heating all worked very well. Blow-dryer , iron all provided.

United StatesIt's a motel with no amenities, as should be expected. No housekeeping either. Felt a little dingy but not too bad overall, and fairly reasonable on price for the area.
Location was great, within 5 minutes of Belleayre. Was convenient to have a kitchen in the room, and the beds were fairly comfortable.

United StatesIt would have been nice to have windows that open to the fresh air. Even though it was 50 degrees outside our room was quite stuffy and we needed the air conditioner.
It was like going back in time to the awesome motels of my childhood! The room was enormous and in a beautiful setting.

United Statesonly thing I would suggest is a dimmer for the main room light and possible bathroom light.
I liked the room and accommodations a lot. The rooms are a little outdated, but everything worked, the place was clean and the kitchen had everything you would need. The outside areas are nice also. I wish the weather was warmer to take advantage of the outdoors, but I would definitely stay there again. And finally a bathroom with adequate lighting. Most hotels and motels have terrible lighting in the bathrooms. Really the entire room had good lighting which is not common today.

United StatesIt was comfortable but could use a little more cleaning, especially the kitchen. The front step to get into the room was very high and difficult for an older person to step up on.
It's a cute little motel in the beautiful Catskills. I couldn't rate the staff as I never saw them. Note on office door said that due to covid, the keys would be in the room, and to call if there were any questions.

United StatesThe bed and bedding needs to be improved-seemed very old and used! The outside needed to be mowed and trimmed. The broken down car in front was an I saw. The screen doors didn’t latch and back one didn’t even close. The side needs a good cleanup
The room was incredibly spacious! The kitchen was a nice size with all the amenities! Full size frig micro dishes and utensils! Full size coffee pot with plenty of coffee and creamers. The place was very clean and plenty of towels and beauty supplies!

United StatesCould use some deep cleaning, a little paint here and there too. The step into the room is a little high, not sure how you could fix it. The AC unit should probably be replaced. It didn’t seem to cool the room off all that well and the nights were already cool. The room got stuffy at night without the AC. We never saw the owners the whole time we were there. It was a short stay though.
Quiet. Good location.

United StatesThe lighting in the bathroom was so bright it annoyed me, but most people would probably consider that a positive. My friend thought it was great—Personal preference I guess.
It was very clean, and the kitchen was super convenient. Plenty of grills and picnic tables for our group, and the fire pit was a bonus. It rained one evening during our stay so we were happy to have the enclosed screen room to hang out in. Nice touches like colorful outdoor lighting and firefly lights in the woods. We all enjoyed our stay and will be booking again for next years event. Pet friendly too!

United StatesThe bathroom needs a serious update, specifically the shower, but the entire room in general. The sink and toilet have been updated, but I had to plunge the sink to get the drain flowing. A minor attempt to cover over the shower walls has been made with an 8 inch diameter shower head, but while it is all functional, it is still really old. The shower head, I believe, is meant to be an overhead rain shower style head so it really doesn't work well when mounted to the wall shower head. While it is large it has a very light touch and something more a hand held shower head with multiple settings would definitely work better to offer a bit more water pressure and direction.
This is my 2nd stay at Starlite. It is just a couple miles from Belleayre where I have engaged in PSIA instructor training last year and this week. The Starlite is OLD but comfortable, convenient, clean, and efficient. It meets my needs for these training sessions and I look forward to returning next year. I like the ease of access to the location and to the room from the parking lot. I liked the free Netflix since there was little if anything on the available cable channels. I like the kitchen, free coffee, creamers and other kitchen essentials.
