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.).

CanadaI slept poorly at this dated and shabby motel, thanks to the low-grade furniture and much noise from adjacent rooms and the street. Various facilities that are advertised, such as a hot tub, do not exist. People loitering in the parking lot left security in doubt. I would not stay here again.

United StatesIt is truly a “Budget Express”, so do not expect fancy decor or fresh, clean smell. My room was made up, but definitely not completely cleaned (someone’s discarded shorts were left behind the bathroom door, a discarded cup was next to the bed side table on the floor, the table lamp was inoperable). I asked the front desk to have maid service for my room as I left for daily activities, and I was assured it would be done, albeit later in the day as there were many occupants (full/sold out capacity). Alas, when I returned to my room late afternoon, it had not been done. I did not ask again, and just dealt with it.
Location makes it easy to access the downtown area and local shops. If you’re staying in summer/early fall, you are blocks away from a lovely local Farmers Market, as well as the Civic Center for performances.

Location was OK. Price was ok. Staff were very friendly and accommodating.

United StatesNot the fault of the staff, but the place feels a bit unsafe. There were a number of people loitering around the parking lot late at night as we were unpacking. Wouldn't be a problem for a burly biker checking in, not so comfortable for an older couple.
The facilities are not bad, for the price it was about as expected. The fridge and microwave worked fine, the shower was clean, the bed was a good size, with plenty of room to move around it.

United StatesThe AC was barely adequate to cool the room, the TV/ cable was defective (picture would freeze with the cable box constantly resetting itself, impossible to watch any TV, the remote was also defective, would not operate the volume.) Also there is a small park adjacent to the hotel filled with vagrants openly using drugs. I witnessed a number of people passed out on the sidewalks, a bit unnerving, to say the least.

Awesome pillows and perfect location. We stay here every time we come to Helena. Fantastic staff who knocked on our door during the day just to check if we needed anything. Didn't make me feel guilty about asking for things I wanted, like other places do.

During the evening I could not rest because if the same guest and staff did nothing to stop them. I also rented this place because they were animal friendly yet they would call animal control if you were to leave your pet besides going to your vehicle.
