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 StatesToo expensive for a room that looked like it had not been updated in 40 years. The window in the bathroom was open when we arrived. So we figured it was to let the smell of mildew/1970s cabin-esque air out. So we left it open and when we came back that night, there were hundreds of small, dead bugs in the bottom of the shower. Also caught a horse fly the size of my pinkie flying around in there. There was only one tiny trash can for the whole room. There was a TV, but it did not seem to have any connection to the internet for streaming services or have standard cable. No picnic tables outside to sit and eat at. Only one, sad looking grill for the entire motel.
It was close to downtown Mackinaw City. Easy to find right off of I-75. It was not too crowded for a summer weekend.

United StatesThe space is very outdated. Like very. There are wall a/c units and teeny mini-fridges. The bedding was nice but beds are a bit too soft for me. I was most upset about the pool area. The outdoor pool had algae and it was freezing, and the indoor pool had stuff floating in it. My best guess is that they painted the bottom and the paint was flaking off, but it was absolutely everywhere. We had family staying at a nearby campground and were originally reserved M-Fri. We thought about extending our stay to include Sat, but the rate doubled, so we opted out.
The location was great, and the price was right for what it is. We had a double with 2-rooms and it was perfect for my husband and our son.

United StatesFor one, the shower heads are very short. I am 5'10 "and towered over the head, so if you're taller than 5'0", it might be a nuisance. Secondly, you have to request room cleaning??? And don't expect it very quickly. It also smelled like piss after our first day there for some reason. I suspected it was from our bathroom & water but we didn't investigate enough to find out.
It is very close to Mackinac Island and Mackinac City's downtown amenities. The beds were comfy enough, and the rooms were clean. The staff was awesome, and checking in/out was seamless.

United StatesThe inside pool was not opened and the outside pool should have been closed. You couldn’t even see the bottom. Did not use as I have an open and something is for sure wrong. Needed to be cleaned and chemicals badly. There was spider webs in our room with a half a dollar side spider in the bathroom. The box spring had stains on it. The smell in the room smelled as mold. The alarm clock was not pulled in and the tv was not working. Had to figure out how to fix. Did not like that there was no phone in the room to call the front desk. And did not like that the front desk was not at the hotel. Didn’t feel safe about that.
The staff was nice.

United StatesThe facility is definitely aging. Rooms could use some repairs and updates. The pool is currently being renovated and the hot tub is out of order (there is another smaller pool that is still open).
Staff was friendly and helpful. There is a very nice playground for kids with swings, slides, and other items. The location is convenient to Mackinaw City shopping and the island ferries.
