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 StatesWas a little bit of a walk to the boardwalk but there wasn’t much closer in regards to hotels. One of the box spring covers was very dirty looking but the receptionist told me it was from peoples shoes which made sense . The room didn’t have any outlets right by the beds which wasn’t a major thing but odd in this day and time.

United StatesI truly can't think of anything negative to say!
This is the third motel of this type we've tried in Seaside Heights. We liked all three, but I think Sea Palace edged out the other two. It was very clean and comfortable, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. When we first checked in we had an issue with the magnetic door lock in the room. They had maintenance on site within ten minutes, and a new lock assembly installed within the next five. We've stayed at much more "luxurious" hotels where something like that would have taken hours (if it got fixed at all.) It was also the quietest of the three motels we've tried....no late-night parties or teenagers running back and forth. i would definitely recommend this location. Thanks for the great stay!!

United StatesI didn't like that I had to pay an extra $25 a night per child (x3) for them to sleep there. The room should be a flat rate regardless of the occupants. If it sleeps 7 then there shouldn't be an extra charge if we are under the number of occupants and kids shouldn't count regardless.
When we arrived in the room it smelled very clean and everything felt comfortable. Not always the case when you visit a beach motel, so that was very welcoming. I also liked how close this hotel is the bridge out of Seaside and in walking distance of the boardwalk. Perfect location.
