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):
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.).

United StatesSecond time staying. This last time, I found 2 bed bugs!! That was it for me! I've had experience in bed bug infestation and I don't need to deal with that again. They need to have an exterminator in there to exterminate each room and do it on a regular basis. And they need to clean better than they do.
My electricity is turned off, so the place satisfied my needs.

United StatesThe picture above one of the beds wasn't even on the wall. As soon as we sat down it fell onto our bed and us. There was drugs left ontop of the refrigerator. The refrigerator wasn't even plugged in when we got there. There was roaches in it. On the walls and in the bathroom. No heat in the bathroom. Blood on the sheets. The neighbors we're partying and fighting all night long. We would have asked for a refund or just left. But... there's no other options in this town that is remotely affordable. The house keeper never brought us toilet paper or any supplies. It was the worst time staying there ever. The worst. Extremely disappointed. The door didn't even close all the way. And you could see people when they walked by under the door. It was creepy and unsafe. They should be ashamed of themselves. And the fire alarm was covered and wrapped in plastic. So if there was an emergency. You'd never know. Once again unacceptable.

United StatesThe owner is in the process of fixing up the place so I think it will get better. The exterior needs work. It's no frills, old school motel style. If you want fancy its not for you. If you need a clean, no frills crash, it's fine.
For the price the hotel was fine. It's an older place, but inside was clean. My first impression of the look of it wasn't great, but the staff was helpful and we actually had a nice quiet sleep.

United StatesUnfortunatly We arrived when the sun was shining brightly through the front door and window which showed every speck of dust and there were many. There was a smoked-in smell. It looked as If the room was rarely dusted. I was able to open the screened windows to let fresh air in but I was still coughing the entire night from the chemical smell. Right outside the back window was an abandonded toilet and several doorless refridgerators. There was no reading lamp, just a very bright overhead lamp. Ther was mold in the shower. We left as early as we could.
It was the only offering in Chestertown that was on Booking.com on the day that I made my reservation. Next time I will check a bed and breakfast site. I believe that the sheets and pillowcases were clean.

United StatesWhen we arrived, although we had received a confirmation from Booking, the Driftwood had been without internet and did not have our reservation. They had no available room so we had to find different accomodations and had to drive 20 miles to get the closest available room. I'd made the reservations long in advance.

United StatesThe place is like a time capsule to the days of the roadside motels. Could use an update, but for what we needed, it ht the mark.
We needed a place in Chestertown just for a quick overnight stay -- it met all our needs. We did not need anything luxurious, just serviceable. The front desk clerk (I assumed owner) was very accommodating and helpful. We will stay there again next month for the same reasons.
