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 StatesI didn’t love that dogs were allowed to swim in the pool. One guest was playing fetch with their dog in the water while I was there, and the pool ended up full of dog hair—which was pretty gross. When I asked about it, the guest said the staff told them it was allowed. Definitely a strange experience.
I absolutely love this property—everything is just so easy. The beach is only a 5-minute walk, or you can relax by the pool all day. It’s super clean and beautiful. The staff are lovely and always ready to help. Right across the road is an amazing restaurant called Birds on the Roof. The location makes it easy to get anywhere. Truly loved it!

United StatesI was in room 5 that’s right by the entrance to the motel and you heard all the outside noise. If you’re a light sleeper, that’ll be a problem.
Loved the courtyard, the pool area, and the location.

United StatesNot much to say here, other than a tapping sound outside when it rained, but that did not disrupt our sleep at all.
Excellent location in the heart of Montauk with shops and eateries in close walking distance, as well as the beach! We ate at The Bird right across the street, which was divine! We also dined at Alimentari and Montauk Bake Shop. There are cute souvenir and gift store dotting the surrounding area, and we even bumped into a major celeb while grabbing coffee in town. Can't say who, or else that would blow his cover, but it was truly an amazing stay even though we were met with endless rain from the moment we stepped foot in the town until the second we left! That said, the comfort level at Daunt's was 10/10 - the bed was so relaxing and the sheets felt smooth, and smelled so clean. The team were beyond accommodating and were truly attentive and kind to us. This was our very first trip to Montauk and we came for my husband's birthday and they did everything to make us comfortable and well looked after. It was truly a 5-star experience and we would stay here again in a heartbeat.

I really liked it here, nice setting. Clean, simple room with stone floor. Excellent shower. Had great conversations with the people at check in & check out - really friendly place. Probably crazy busy in high season.

United StatesFirst impression was that the room didn't look like the pictures, on website. Call it good marketing in that the pictures had given me a higher expectation. But that's ok. 2nd: Couldn't cook 1st night upon my late arrival. However, next day I requested a pot and a sauce pan and was able to make light breakfast on forward. 3rd: I had brought meats to cook on the grill but since the grill is close to the pool (which had a big safety net covered) I had no access. My decision to choose this place was based on what is written on their online/website. I found it to be inconsistent. So that was disapointing but not a huge deal. 4th: There is no a key (mailbox) box to drop the keys if you check out early. I left at 5:30am and I had to leave the keys outside in the front door.
Very close to a shopping and a restaurant "strip." Walking distance to beach. Short drive to both hero park and lighthouse. Great staff and attentive. I can feel they wanted to please and be accomodating.

This really was a gem of a find on our holiday, lovely place with exceptional facilities. They have gone out of their way to turn this from a motel to a boutique style hotel and it works! the communal fire pits were a real treat to and a great way to meet people over an afternoon drink. The breakfast voucher at Bird on the Roof was a great touch too.

United KingdomNothing could be improved. Perfection.
We only stayed for one night after 4 nights in NYC. It wasn't enough! This place is a real gem, We loved Montauk and the road trip out of the city, before catching a flight home to London. The Rooms were cool & lovely, and the bed is probably the most comfortable bed, with the best bed sheets I've ever slept on! Absolutely dreamy! The outside area is super cute and I would have loved to stay longer to spend more time there! The owners are really helpful and gave us some great tips for food, sunset view and drinks for our one night stop. It was a magical night that will never be forgotten! Thank you!

SwitzerlandJust 1 min walk away from the beach. Room was very spacious and clean. Furniture, decoration and kitchen equipment stylish but not overdone. Bathroom was very clean as well. Beds very comfortable, slept very well on the mattresses. Check-in staff was friendly, competent and very helpful. We would return to the Albatros any time we stay on Long Island again.

United StatesThe walls were kinda thin. We could very clearly hear our neighbors conversations, and I am sure they heard us too. We heard them very clearly partying until 200 am. The shower stall was kinda small. The sink water was extremely hot, but the shower was lukewarm. I like a hot shower so that was slightly disappointing. The housekeeper unlocked our door and walked into our room, never knocking. She seemed to believe we were supposed to be checked out, but we booked two days and weren’t due to leave until the next day. Simple misunderstanding I guess, but kinda rude. Good thing we weren’t undressing or something…and good thing we were there.
Our room was a good size and clean. There was a cute kitchenette with a table and two chairs, which was fantastic for eating our takeout. Some motel rooms we have been to in Montauk don’t have two chairs, so you end up eating on the bed or standing. The balcony was great and if it weren’t so cold I would have loved to have used it. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. We were walking distance to everything. The staff was very friendly. I really enjoyed the outside area, particularly the heated sitting area. This was my first time at Daunt’s and I will definitely be back.
