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 are 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 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.).

I just have to say that I’ve had the best experience with Missy at Sea Drift Motel. The hospitality and kindness she shows is amazing. We will be staying here again. It’s definitely not a 5 star resort but it’s clean, well taken care of and she makes you feel like family. Missy made it so easy to stay an extra night!❤️

CanadaNo bad comments.
Location was perfect, beach was directly across the street and our motel was close enough to the pier/fair/town but just far enough that you're not directly in the hustle and bustle of things. Missy at the Sea Drift Motel was so kind and sweet and so was the rest of the staff.

United StatesWe did not like the fact that the train tracks were immediately behind the building. The larger the line of train cars, the more the room shook!
We liked the location of it being away from the Pier.

United StatesI didn’t care for the bed size. I had a room with 2 beds I thought would be queen size. They were only full size, or smaller? My husband and I are both tall, and our feet hung off the bottom. Our mattress did sink in the middle a little. We felt crowded and it was a little hard to sleep. The air conditioning wasn’t as cold as we would have liked, and was a little noisy when it kicked on and off.
I liked that the kitchenette was stocked with all the needed essentials to cook. Plates, silverware, pots, pans, etc…. I liked that the room had a balcony off the front and off the back of the room. The water pressure in the shower was awesome! Better than any 5 star hotel I ever stayed in! The beach was 900 steps away from the Sea Drift. Easy to get to by simple crossing the street. Missy the owner was amazing and very pleasant.

United StatesThe property is a little farther from the pier than we would have liked. Still walkable though. The set up in the rooms is a little odd. the bathrooms are super tiny with a cave like shower and the AC is in the bathroom for the whole room.
The property is really clean. the staff really does a great job with maintaining an older property which many in old orchard are. Super close to the beach which is great and the pool is really nice.
