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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

CanadaNothing to dislike.
Great location. So close to a really nice 'pedestrian only' area/mall with good restaurants and a really nice atmosphere. Hotel itself was clean and safe, with a well-lit parking area. Great value for the cost.

United StatesThe property was run down and had vagrants roaming around it, as there’s a homeless shelter across the street. But they didn’t bother me. I could hear people yelling at each other in other rooms in the middle of the night. Disappointingly, I paid $110 a night on Booking.com. I didn’t want to pay $250 a night down the street at the Doubletree. I was upset to discover that if I had booked directly with the hotel the cost would have been $63 a night. I paid a lot more by using Booking.com.
Location was perfect for my trip. I was a grand marshal for the 100th anniversary of their Vigilante Day Parade. The parade start was almost directly across the street.

United StatesNote that Helena's homeless community are resident in the neighborhood which might seem concerning at first glance. But it is actually reassuring to have locals with an eye on the area, which is a deterrent to mischief.
The motel is a couple of blocks from the retail and eatery area - but an easy walk. Parking right outside the room is nice. It was relatively quiet and I slept well.

CanadaAir conditioner/heater was very loud and would turn off for about 10 seconds then start up again. Made it difficult to stay asleep. While there was ample hot water when I showered in the morning it was not possible to get very hot water at the bathroom sink even after having a hot shower.
It was away from the main highway so sleep was not disturbed by truckers

United StatesThe neighborhood is a bit loud and run down.
Years ago Budget was a real dump, but current management has really improved the place. This trip my room was comfortable and clean; the mattress and towels were clean, new, and good quality; staff was very attentive and friendly. Yes, the building is old and the accommodations are no-frills, but my stay was comfortable and pleasant and I will definitely return.

United StatesThere’s a neighbor who plays loud music - I didn’t mind the volume, but didn’t like the music. Oh, and the shower temp was unpredictably highly variable.
Staff was great, room was clean - not new, but clean - and bed was comfy. That was all I needed, I didn’t visit Helena for the hotel services.

No breakfast offered. Clean room and bathroom. Small room with a comfortable bed, mini fridge (that works) and a TV. It's an Old motel but the bed/mattress was not old. Nice staff. Quiet surroundings.
