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 StatesThey advertised pool and hot tub sauna and didn’t have either. Well they had but no water in pool. Also one of the rooms air did not work and we had no clean towels or washcloths until next morning. All the 4 rooms I rented were not available at 4:00. We waited a few hrs.
The location was perfect

United StatesTons of bugs and spiders everywhere. Listing is very deceiving with room descriptions, and needs to be clear about which side of the property you’ll be staying in(one part is remodeled, the other is very outdated and disgusting). Also, the pool has been drained so that amenity is no longer offered. The swings overlooking the water are coming apart, not safe for children.
The location is amazing. Being able to look outside and enjoy the view of Lake Huron and the Mackinac Bridge is the best part of the stay. There are also fire pits outside.

United StatesSmall and outdated don’t bother me, especially when I didn’t spend most of my time in the room. However, it was simply not cleaned well. The bathroom had rogue hair in the shower and on the toilet. The air conditioner unit has not been cleaned or dusted maybe ever - it was incredibly dirty and had a few spiders in it. And while the top sheet and pillowcases were good, the mattress pad underneath had multiple dark spots that looked like mold, and the top comforter had a few questionable stains.
The location is great, and the staff was very friendly and helpful.

United StatesOne of the rooms, room 3, had not been renovated. The bathroom had mold, the shower was small and moldy, mold on the ceiling. It was small and dark. The pool had murky water. No one could swim in the pool. We asked them to change rooms but they said they didn't have another room.
The location was perfect!

United StatesThe motel has some renovations which were nice, but, not all of room renovated yet. If you are a clean freak this is not the motel for you. If you like the feel of camping you'll be ok. Dead bugs inside slider track, windows very dirty looking out at bay, patio furniture cobwebs, comforters had stains, floors dirty -wear slippers or shoes. Furniture was in poor shape and chairs stained. Slider door had no lock, except for a metal bar that was broken, we would've changed room, if we weren't on second floor. Beware, Lots of poo as you walk out to beach. Didn't use pool, so can't comment.
The view and sound of waves were awesome if you can get past some issues... The Positive, The desk clerks were friendly, the sheets were clean and fridge worked! Some new renovations of floor and walls.

United StatesScheduled to stay one place and they put me somewhere else. There was no beach access other than some drainage pipes and muck (the smell was not pleasant). The pools were less than desirable and felt dirty just standing by them. The manager had a dog that freely pooped in the picnic area, that was ugly!. I most definitely would not recommend or return.

United StatesBED BUGS!!!!! when we brought this to the attention of management, they completely dismissed our concerns. asked for a refund and said it was company policy not to give those out after 3 hours of being there. this property is owned by the family that owns about 80% of mackinaw city. known for scams (bait and switch tactics masked as a “courtesy”) and run-down hotels and motels.

United StatesSmelled bad. We had to go by Fabreeze to try to odorize the room. The shower would not drain. Had to buy a crate to stand on so we did not have to stand in 2 inches of nasty water. If this room was cleaned, they would have noticed the shower drain and the smell. When we were dropping off the key, there were other people waiting to complain to management. Will not stay here again or recommend to anyone. Their business model is to collect as much money as possible and not put in any effort because of its location.

United StatesThe room was not what was listed on the website it showed the bathroom to have a tub and shower I had a very small shower barely room to turn around drain was falling off there were cobwebs in the corners of the ceiling someone killed a bug on the door and no one cleaned it off before we arrived. The only way to see the garden view was to step outside and look to the left. Otherwise, we had a view of the parking lot. The pool was green looking, and dead bugs floating around could have been cleaned better. The website is very misleading. The photos listed were nothing like my room. Was very disappointed when I opened the door and saw it was not what I thought it was.
