How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

That near turnpike location is a double edged sword. You will have to drive out of the hotel to get to anything, even across the street, because that area is the most hostile pedestrian road architecture I've seen in quite a while. (i.e. an intersection where every corner had a 'no pedestrian crossing' sign.
Good place for an overnight stay for a family/friends get together we had that weekend in the area. Convenient to Turnpike plus the road to the south that goes more directly to Maryland.

The other guests who seemed to think breakfast was in their home and were camped out ignoring other guests who were trying to have their own bfast time with no tables available. Literally, a parent was sitting at one 4-person table while navigating something on his phone that he seemed not to want his two sons to see, who occupied another 4-person table. And a group of five sat at two neighboring but separate tables 4 at one and the 5th at another table for four people by himself -instead of moving one chair over. AND the lovely couple who seemed to think they needed to fill their table with plates of food and then go back for more and go back for more. Maybe a time limit for occupying tables would encourage some to move on? But please don’t add this to the poor overworked and diligent woman’s responsibilities. AND why is there only one elevator in the complex? The staff has to line up their carts to get upstairs?? This is not their fault - but clearly a lack of foresight by someone who makes probably more than all five staffers combined!! WTF?
Easy to manage/navigate Matthew was great receiving us and getting us situated. The poor woman who was keeping up with assembling food and stocking food and cleaning the room - SHE was doing an incredible job and either deserves a raise or a full time helper!!!!!!

We only stayed one night so there wasn’t anything that stood out to us that we didn’t like.
Breakfast was pretty good, the area was well maintained and the staff was diligent to refills as necessary. Location was great, especially for traveling. Front desk staff was friendly and overall, the stay went very well

Parking was difficult as we had a trailer. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to get a mobility accessible room due to the limited number of available rooms at this location, so getting around the room with my mother’s wheelchair was more difficult as was using the bathroom especially shower.
Staff was very friendly and courteous. Room was clean and didn’t smell. Breakfast was good and had a nice variety of items.
