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 StatesThe only king sized beds are in smoking rooms. The key had to be reprogrammed daily. It’s older and it is dated. The towel bar in the bathroom kept falling off the wall.
The property is very close to the beach entrance. You are not located on the water, and you don’t have a water view, but it is just a very short walk.

United StatesSome of the staff members stared a lot which made me feel a little bit uncomfortable. I had originally booked for 2 nights but ended up only needing the room for one night and when I checked out the clerk messed up and charged me for a single nights stay instead of refunding me for the night I wasn’t staying for and it took a while for it to sort itself out on my credit card. But I never had to call and complain they fixed it on their end so they did realize their mistake and fix it on their own so they get props for that.
I loved that it was across the from Captain Groovy’s so I didn’t have to sit in my room all night. They just had a hurricane come through so they were doing renovations on the lower level. It was your average hotel room and a reasonable price for the night.

United StatesI didn't like that I could hear people in the room, (the entire conversation) I didn't like how we couldn't actually lock the room door. Even though the door was locked from the outside, it didn't feel secured to me for the inside. The bed could be a little updated. I felt like a college bed, uncomfortable. But it was just a place to sleep overnight and go home the next day.
Traveling from the Virginia Beach fieldhouse to the hotel was a short distance away. It was close to a beach and close to get back and forth for the boardwalk. This was an overnight stay. It was a good stay.

SwitzerlandNo breakfast on the day I stayed there. Prepared coffee once I asked for it.
Surprisingly good quality for a motel branded Econo Lodge. Although the building is a bit dated, my room on the second floor was very clean, well equipped, everything in good working order. Friendly staff, good location close to the beach and to restaurants and supermarkets. Recommended.

United StatesAlthough we had a non-smoking room, the room did have a strong smoking odor to it. The room was very clean, but the smoker odor was very noticeable. The beds were not the most comfortable, and there were not any extra blankets or pillows in the room.
The hotel was very clean and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel is very convenient to the nearby marinas for transients, and Norfolk has about any amenity or store you could ever need close by. The area, despite its reputation, felt safe.

United StatesThere is NO wheelchair accessibility that I could see. It is an approximate 4”-6” step up from the parking lot to get to any of the first floor rooms. Therefore, anyone with mobility issues would have trouble getting from the parking lot to their room.
The location was perfect for where we needed to be.

United StatesI thought there was at least continental breakfast/ cereal or something. Was just coffee. Not a big deal since McDonald’s was right there. But there’s a “breakfast” sign above the coffee pot and area where looks like they would have some basic food, and tables around. So I assumed breakfast when I checked in. Not a big deal , I would stay again
Clean and seems updated inside - not shabby at all.

United StatesThe smell of the smoking rooms kind of lingers in the area so I still smelled it a little in my non-smoking room. Not bad just slightly noticeable.
It's a decent place to go to sleep for a good price. There is WiFi available I just didn't use it. I'm not sure if breakfast was served but they had a little corner where it looks like they serve it in the check in area. Lots of restaurants nearby.
