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 reviewLocation was good. Price was great and the bed was comfortable
Air conditioner did not work There was no cotact phone number to discuss issues. I found it a little unsettling that our room was open with anyone having access to it before we got there to lock it. But there wasn't any issues other than no air-conditioning.

Verified reviewThe room was nice and big, and it had lots of windows for good ventilation. And there was a heater in the bathroom that you turn on, and also window in the bathroom (which was good since there was no fan). The room was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We got in about 20-25 minutes later than I said we would and the manager had left a note on the front door of the office for me, which was nice. I had said that we would get there between 7 pm- 8 PM.
There was a musty smell in the room, which I think was likely from the carpet. Also, we couldn’t find the password for the Wi-Fi because the paper had fallen on the floor behind the night table. I later emailed the manager and he told me where it was. I didn’t ask, but I got the impression that “late checkouts” were not available.

Verified reviewLocation was nice. I like having separate bedrooms.
It’s an old motel and could definitely use an update or a deep clean. They clearly try to keep it clean, but after a point these old buildings just always feel dirty. Beds were not very comfy.
if you read the office door we are under construction and it takes time there's a lot to redo in all the rooms the new owner has owned it since september 2024 so to ask for us to update is unreasonable. And it might be the last time anyone will be staying here as he wants it monthly's only and im trying to keep rooms in the front during summer months for guests to come in and enjoy. sorry that you didnt have a good experience but i try the last owner did nothing in here for upgrades in the 4 years ive been here and now i have a owner that is upgrading and it will take time that was left for him to do. sorry have a good day

Verified reviewEasy to find. Room had microwave and mini fridge (fridge needed to be turned on). Tv was good. Wifi worked well. Toiletries were nice. Bed was decent for a motel.
Wished there was a tv tray or some kind of table to eat at. Didn't like that it was hot and no fan. Could open the window but it didn't shut all the way unless you went outside to push it closed fully. While bed was good the pillows were not. Room faced Hwy 1 and could get loud from traffic.

Verified reviewWe booked what we thought was a kitchenette. I don't believe that is what we got . We have stayed there several times in the past and was more than satisfied with the room. This time we brought food to prepare but it was difficult as we did not even have cutlery or dishes. A toaster would have been nice, also. If we come back to the area again, we will probably stay there again but make sure we got what we requested.
All is above
As it states not all 1 queen rooms have kitchens in them and we are under renovations too things will take time to get done as we are not closing rooms that the motel has opened when u made ur reservation I only had the room u were in left Might end up monthly’s only still no idea what the new owner wants done yet might be the last summer to book with us ever. It’s all in the air still Sorry you were not happy but it’s the room that I had left and cabins are not available to the motel all monthly’s might end up the rest on the he line

Verified reviewThe property was cleaning and though no one was in the office for us to check, a Joe note was sent to me indicating what room was open and ready for us. The room has the typical ‘stuck in the 70s and 80s’ look or should I rather say “charm”. It was a very welcoming place.

Almost everything, they had my name on a note on the office front door telling me my room was open and the keys in it!! NOT safe at all. No water, toilet backed up, not very clean at all
Well as we discussed on the phone the toilet wasn’t backed up . Rm3-4 had no cold water to the toilets, sinks, tubs it was frozen in the roof(main line). that time of the year as the other motels in town freeze too. I’ve been here for 4 years never had an issue with putting guests name on the door as I live here on site. Sorry that your experience was not what you expected
