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 StatesWalls were very thin. Each time a door was opened up and down the hall it could be heard. Kids running up and down, etc. Smoking areas outside of the front entrance was smelly. Also a strong smell of manure in the area due to adjacent land.
Great location on the main road by interstate. Rooms were large, bed and pillows comfortable. Good water pressure in bath.

United StatesThe gentleman at the front desk the morning I checked out seemed more interested in his phone than in offering morning pleasantries. He continued using his phone while I was trying to check out. Not a deal breaker, it just didnt seem very professional. The window of my 3rd floor room could be opened all the way, which could be a potential safety hazard if one was traveling with children. Again, not a deal breaker for me, just something I noticed and wanted to mention. There was no kind of directory in the room I stayed in. It would have been helpful to get an idea of what was in the area.
The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. The shower had good hot water and decent water pressure. The front desk staff at check-in were pleasant. Wi-Fi was fast. Breakfast looked decent, and there were a lot of options available.

United StatesWe were super concerned regarding our families safety in your pool area, the tiles that surround the pool are not meant for pool areas. Super slippery and dangerous when wet....we have toddlers..and I have a problem with my hip. I saw a young child fall very hard. Our son has some gait issues and it was frightening to consider him striking his head. Saw other people ...adults and kids slip and not fall. The eggs on the breakfast buffet were quite rubbery and the muffins must have been thawed out as they were wet. Super long lines at the breakfast buffet to make any items such as waffles...maybe allow an extra half hour on weekends. Hot tub was overly warm for the summer and if there is a button to press to add the bubbling feature it was not locatable or not marked. The pool area needs to be redone for safety reasons, there is major pooling on some areas of the un even surface and this property will definitely lose any lawsuit that is due to a slip or fall in that pool area....
Clean rooms, and very nice smooth bedding...location and parking. Proximity to stores and eateries.
