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...).

CanadaIt was early what we needed it to be. 5 minutes from the airport for an early flight. No frils, dated but clean, a little rough around the edges when it comes to patrons living for extended periods. Lots of old vehicles in the lot. It’s like a small town movie scene. The fridge was an unexpected surprise

United KingdomThis is difficult as Shamrock Hotel didn't try to be what it wasn't. Hence the price. neither of us fancied using the shower but toilet and basin spotless.
Cost us £50. UK. Just as described. Not updated since the fifties but clean, cheap and historic. Manager replied promptly to my email (I'm a wheelchair user) and was very pleasant. Good fridge and larger freezer than usual. Would only use as somewhere to lay my head. Plenty of choice with nearby restaurants and fast food outlets. Very busy with workmen who left early and again all spoke to us.

United StatesWalk into this tiny motel and find yourself in the 1950's. We enjoyed exactly the 2 bed layout we booked - even though we didn't arrive until 9 PM. Lovely hardwood floors. Very clean room. Microwave and fridge in the room were helpful. Motel does not serve breakfast, but there's an IHOP close by. Lastly, it was amazingly quiet for a motel adjacent to I-5!

CanadaOld mirror in bathroom with flaws, paint on it, cloudy windows - seal gone, No fan or heat in the bathroom, and an older window could be a security risk and source of cold air, a few hangers and a rack for a closet, noisy from upstairs guests at night walking or talking, not enough parking at times, poor lighting, decor minimal
Location was convenient. Motel had a good fridge, microwave and table & chairs. It was easy access to the parking if the parking lot was not too full. Motel guests were quiet overall and there was no smoke around us from other guests or in the room. The bed was comfortable, the space was generous and the shower & plumbing worked well. Receptionist was pleasant and helpful. Easy to find the motel from the highway 5 nearby. New paint on outside of motel. A/C worked well. Good to have clock and the TV worked fine. Vinyl plank flooring. Reasonable price. Code lock on door for security. Lots of drawer space for longer term guests. Very clean.
