Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaThere were roaches in the bathroom and near the refrigerator. Not sure where they came from and unsure if the person next door to me who was nasty was bringing them in but I do not do roaches in my room whatsoever. I’d prefer the refrigerator and microwave be separate from the sink/bathroom areas and the place to be sprayed for bugs.
I liked the location of the hotel because it was very close to the beach and the bed was very comfortable, the room was spacious and quiet at night.

United States of AmericaThere isn’t anything NOT to like in our opinion. The bed was clean and comfortable. The TV is brand new. Housekeeping was kind and attentive. We have no dislikes at all.
My husband & I enjoyed the location. There are a variety of establishments to choose from along E Oceanview Ave; however, Express Inn was by far the best and the fact that they just remodeled the establishment was a big plus for us.

United States of AmericaFlies (I killed two on bed, others I couldn’t reach), mold, bed light broken, thin foam mattress, plastic laminate floor. No coffee maker, no hair dryer, no grab bar in bathroom. Bathroom light kept going on and off. No refunds. No booklet with info. No bible in nightstand. Conversation upon arrival thru thick outside plexiglass window with slot. No access to lobby/brochures. South side of Ocean view Avenue. One night cost was $75, plus taxes. Sign said newly renovated, but they didn’t get to my room yet.
It did have hot water. It definitely had deadbolt. It did have TV. The towels were clean. It did have parking. It did have air conditioner in the window wall that you could regulate. No smoking and no roaches. Was on Route 60, stay here if you’re too tired to drive any further.

United States of AmericaWhere to start let’s see the first room they attempted to put us in was disgusting the microwave looked as if it had caught on fire in the past the carpet was black.the second room they attempted to put us in remakes of mist and a moldy smell.the third room that we ended up staying in due to no refund being available witch is a Crock of crap the air conditioning barley worked and the door would only stay closed if you locked the dead bolt and when we went to leave we would have to slam the door and hope that it wouldn’t come open while we were gone needless to say I would not recommend this rat hole to anyone.also the beach it was near had a giant pipe coming out into the water not even near the boardwalk or any amenities at least a 30 minute drive to any attractions.
The workers behind the desk were nice

United States of AmericaThis hotel is a run down drug hotel in the ghetto. I was scared during my stay… all kinds of strange people milling around out front. I looked up the hotels history and 3years ago someone was shot and killed there and last year a kid was shot just after a cocaine deal here…the floor wasn’t vacuumed and the shower and toilet were dirty. This was the worst place I’ve ever stayed….

United States of AmericaElectric sockets didn't work (2 of 4); very rude staff; floor was exceptionally dirty; room smelled relatively bad; damage was present to most of the appliances in the room (debted microwave, faulty heater lights, damaged fridge, ect.). 700$ is way too high of a price considering that the room was in an exceptionally bad state.
Property was close to where I needed to be; but the location was fair overall.

United States of AmericaOur room looked nothing like the pictures. It says that the rooms are newly remodeled. The only thing that was remodeled was the shower and that was done horribly. When we showered the water leaked through the shower walls into the regular walls and then out onto our room floor. There was blood on the bathroom walls. And when we asked for another room the person behind the counter was mean about it. We will never stay here again
Only thing good about this place was it was 5 minutes from anywhere we had to go.
