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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United StatesWas on a road that was basically closed for construction. getting in was easy, leaving was more difficult and had to get directions from one of the construction workers. Obviously not the property owners fault, but google was not very accurate on this. Front desk closes at 9pm, which I didn't notice until I got to the door at 8:50
Very affordable. The check-in was easy and the front desk staff very accommodating and friendly!

United StatesWent to take a shower in the morning and there was no hot water. Had to wait a few hours for it to warm back up. It's a very old and outdated building. Too many people showering at the same time I'm assuming.
Had the most comfortable bed I've EVER slept in!!

United StatesThe room is small, but since we only stayed for one night, that wasn’t a huge issue.
The owner was so accommodating! We had leftovers to heat up and he loaned us their personal cutlery. He was so kind. We only stayed for one night, but it served its purpose. They have been over backwards to make the room as comfortable as they can. It’s clean and the bed is comfortable. They have no problem with pets.

United StatesI was a bit hesitant about possible truckers, etc. staying at the motel. i.e. parties, noise, etc. I was wrong! It was a very quiet place to stay with friendly staff and visiting guests from different states.
I am a past resident of Fairmont and am familiar with the demographics, etc. Highland Court Motel has at times been a rather distant motel for truckers, construction workers, etc. But through word of mouth from my daughter who lives in Fairmont, she said you had done some nice renovations and the motel was under new management. With having a puppy as my companion, the $10 fee was awesome (vs. $50 or not allowing pets at all). It was SO much easier to lift, carry, etc. with the car right at my front door. No elevators, walking long distances, etc. I will most certainly stay here again soon! Thank you! Kathy

CanadaUnusual that you have to ask at the front desk, if you want a coffee maker and they hand you one in a plastic bag. Room was a little on the small side and the bathroom has a pedestal sink, so no counter space. There was a cigarette burn in the bed spread, so it should have been replaced.
This motel is a little ways from the business area of Fairmont, but offers very good value compared to the chain hotels closer to the city. The room was very satisfactory for a one night stopover. The bed was comfortable and everything was clean. Showers were hot.

Cozy room with 3 windows (all with screens and easy to open). AC was turned on prior to our arrival to cool the room. Fridge was larger than the typical size for motel rooms.

United StatesThe TP holder in the bathroom was mounted pretty close to the toilet making it a bit cramped. The room could also benefit from an exhaust fan to keep the humidity from the shower from impacting the whole room. Otherwise it was great!
The motel was clean and quiet. I was in town for a disc golf tournament and needed a place mostly just to sleep and get cleaned up between days. This location included a large mini fridge and microwave which was excellent for keeping my stuff cold without going through a bunch of ice. The room I had (19) had a paris theme and was simple but nice for the price. It felt like staying in a friend’s spare room with an en-suite. Would definitely stay here again.

United StatesWe stayed 3 nights at the property I paid in advance through Booking. When I arrived at the property, they confirmed my reservation but stated they had no record of my payment. So I had to pay for the three nights again, an additional $300.00 plus. I sent an inquiry to Booking about my payment and was promised an answer within 24 hours. It has now been 48 hours, and I've had no response To be fair, I use booking often. This is the only troublesome I have encountered to date. I have just booked another prepaid night with Booking. Hopefully, this will not be such an error.
The owners were very nice. The rooms and grounds were neat and clean.
