Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 StatesIt was run down and sloppy fixes in the bathroom made it feel dingy. The town itself was not an option for the purpose of our trip but was not a location I would choose willingly and will not stay in again. It didn’t feel unsafe but was what my husband would call an “armpit” town. We did not know the area and our daughter was doing training at the military base. Now that we are familiar with the area we would travel 15min closer to the beach where the area is much nicer.
The staff were very friendly and they had a decent sitting area outside the second floor elevator that was useful for getting some work done while my family was in the room.

United StatesSmall indoor pool. 30/40 minutes from beaches of Emerald Isle. Though this part is no fault of the hotel, unless you’re into bar hoping, everything everywhere seems to close at 9/10pm.
Breakfast - great. Has a navel plane museum behind the property. Staff - super nice. Clean room.

United StatesThe cable isn't good due to not a lot to watch, the charging stations need updating and the breakfast menu could be more choices.
I like the location, it was quiet. It has an indoor pool which was good in case of the rain. The breakfast was nice. The room was big and spacious. The beds were comfortable. The elevator is located in the lobby. There is a business area for printing, laundry room with one washer one dryer and an ice machine. Staff was friendly and helpful. There is a snack bar.

United StatesThere was a problem with their fire alarm system the last day there, and no one seemed to know how to silence the alarm. We booked this hotel because of the pool, but it obviously didn't get cleaned properly every day.
Very convenient for our visit to see grandchildren. Though Havelock isn't close to New Bern, where we went on a tour and had lunch, it's also not terribly far. Same for the aquarium at Pine Knoll Shores. Several decent restaurants in the area to offset the overwhelming number of fast food places.

United StatesThe building shows its age; bare spots on the carpet, the fridge in the room froze everything even after turning down the thermostat, the most convenient outside door didn't have a working key card reader. Don't know if it's by design, but there weren't towel bars in the bathroom; we were there for a week and don't get fresh towels daily, so it was a bit of a trick to hang them out.
The location was perfect - close to where our granddaughters live. A variety of decent restaurants close by and lots of fast food options for after school sporting events. The breakfast was very good and the entire staff was friendly and welcoming, especially in the breakfast area. Access to the pool for the girls is a must and we spent time there almost daily.

United StatesIf I had to be critical then only disappointments would have been the sausage at breakfast was not great quality. Very processed and the potatoes were stale like they may have been from the day before. But we ate them anyways
The lobby/breakfast area were very nice. The breakfast had many great warm options including protein which was a bonus. The room was nice and spacious. We had a king bed that was very comfortable. The room was quiet and dark. The couch was rather worn and should probably be replaced soon. The location was very convenient to the marine base and we appreciated that since we were there to visit our son. All of the staff were super friendly and accommodating. The value was good. We would stay here again

It is very nice that they give out free coffee but especially water, given the hot weather. The room was large, bed was comfortable, everything was clean. The staff was welcoming. Overall, for what we paid, we're happy. P.S. Very much appreciated the follow-up and customer care check-in messages from management.
