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 StatesEntry way into 2nd floor rooms was very musty. Rooms were sized ok for one person, but would be very cramped for two.
Definitely a unique hotel in the decor and accommodations. Location was convenient to nice shops and restaurants which was great.

United StatesThere was a bit of a musty smell in the lobby and hallway, but it wasn't overpowering and didn't bother me. It wasn't as noticeable in the room.
Cute place to stay within walking distance of shopping and restaurants as well as walking routes such as the Bridge Loop and Bay Walk. In the room, there was a three ring binder with information about the motel, restaurant menus, etc. The pictures are accurate, the room was comfortable, and the A/C worked. It was very quiet when I stayed in June.

United StatesThe central air wasn’t working and it was super hot and humid. The staff was apologetic and attentive. They had already purchased and installed air conditioning units throughout the motel and the room was cool and comfortable for the whole stay.
The fun retro decor was neat. We are both musicians and love the support this venue gives to local musicians. The common kitchen area was a great little nook with everything you need. We had leftovers and a cooler with food- the kitchen helped to feel more homey and I could use real dishes and silverware without disposable waste. Eco friendly is always a plus in my book.

United StatesFor the price - nothing to complain about. This is a 1953 motel/hotel that’s been restored to its full glory. Still had all of conveniences needed. The owners are musicians and there is a lot of guitar and music memorabilia. Original 1950’s furniture in every room. Centrally located in Sturgeon Bay.
Super friendly staff, room exceptionally clean and a great retro vibe. There is a cafe area where you can get water and coffee - and prepare some basic foods like toast. The room had a binder that had FAQ’s and every restaurant in the area menu.
