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.).

Verified reviewThe tv kept going off and we had to unplug it and it would work for about 10 minutes and here we go again!!!!! The electric plugs didn’t work in the bathroom.
Sounds like we had some issues in your room, and I know our team has addressed the issues, hopefully the next time you find yourself in Bandera, you stay with us again...

Verified reviewIt was a very cute & clean cabin
The shower was a little bit small and i think a little table & chairs in the small kitchen could be a good plus

Verified reviewProperty was very clean and convenient to the town.
So I would not recommend the rooms 1-5 it was very hot and could not do anything about it. I would recommend the management put a window unit especially for the summer.
Thank you for the review. Hope we can host you again next time you are in town.

Verified reviewI love how the Bandera City Park is right across from the motel. The hotel offered a couple of outdoor cowboy inspired games, lounging areas for a campfire or even to star gaze, affordable prices for roomy cabins, the staff was very helpful. The receptionist had an itinerary ready for me and gave me a list of good places to eat and events going on around the town. The cabins are also walking distance from downtown. I highly recommend staying here.
There wasn’t really anything not to like about this property. In general, if it’s your first time going to a river you need to look for E. Coli levels. I didn’t know this but the receptionist was kind enough to let me know 😊
Thank you so much for the kind review. It's sounds like you got to enjoy the whole town while you were here with us. Hope we get to see you next time you are in town.

Verified reviewLiked the atmosphere and setting of the motel in the beatiful small city with the iconic small cowboy bar of bandera.
The ac in the room was slightly underpowered. Maybe in need of maintenance.
