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 StatesWe had a 4 night stay and the first two nights were fine. On the third night (Friday) we returned from visiting friends to find no parking places for our vehicle. We were forced to park out near the road a serious distance from our room. Fortunately the problem was not present for our fourth night.
We were visiting friends at a nearby campground which made the location ideal. The motel wasn't noisy. It was very clean.

IndiaThere was no breakfast served. Also the bed was NOT definitely Queen size. Also the beds were in different rooms making it tough to have our 2 year old kid sleep in the separate room/bed. The rooms were clean but old!
the location was good, the property was quiet and safe. they arranged for a pickup for the ferry to Mackinaw island.

United StatesIt was strange that we had to check in at the property next door. We were confused as to which features of each place we could use, so we just stick to our room.
The bathroom was really clean, aside from one strange spot on the wall. There were a couple of extra chairs in the room, which is always nice.

United StatesBeds were incredibly hard and useless. Old and very used. Did I mention - hard. No outlets! The very few that were there were filled with the lights, TV, fridge, micro - etc. The room was overly dark. We had to use flashlights to see sometimes. One double bed was against the wall, making it impossible to get to. Tiny TV, really tiny. 19" maybe. No security lock on entrance door, just a separate deadbolt with a keyed entrance on the outside. I'll stop there.
Price, it was very cheap. Fridge and micro was nice. Staff was accommodating and friendly. Bathroom sink outside bathroom was good - and nice size. Shower OK, toilet worked. Fairly quiet.
