Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

There wasn't anything we didn't like except for the first room we were offered which was dark, small and slightly claustrophobic but Amanda took us to an alternate room which was comfortable and cheerful.
The Motel is centrally located near the Art Gallery, a fabulous antique store and some excellent nearby restaurants. The rooms are basic, comfortable and clean; the staff were totally exceptional especially Amanda, who couldn't be more helpful. The breakfasts were very well priced and well prepared - I would go so far as to say they were some of the best breakfasts I have eaten.

Bedcover had stains on it. That really put me off. Bed was ok, a little hard for my liking. Room was small but generally ok. No pay TV but we were out most of the time anyways. Lighting was quite poor. To be fair, we are used to top 5 star hotels in major cities, so please consider my review in light of that. For a regional town hotel, I guess this was probably mid range standard.
Easy check in and out. Lady on front desk was lovely, friendly and very helpful. Heating was good, it was really cold when we stayed. Shower was great. Bathroom was very clean.

I found the motel very impersonal with electronic entering so not need to speak to anyone unless it’s about money. We were busy all day and we we returned back to the motel on a cold night no milk in the fridge and no one available to ask. Next morning the shower head would not stay up so I had to try and fix that and then hot and cold water the whole shower and one again no one to talk to.we couldn’t have breakfast there because we we supposed to have a link to order breakfast by 6pm but we never received it. All in all a very ordinary stay
It had a good location

Said it was disability friendly. Requested, and confirmed by hotel after booking that there'd be a shower stool in room on check-in. No, I had to find a staff member to get one. Still not disability friendly, no bars neat toilet or on shower, no non slip flooring in shower for safe transferring. No seat outside of shower to dry off and get sorted, I had to take a seat in from the room. If you want to be truly disability friendly, ask someone with a disability what's needed. Don't ever think as able bodied people that you know.

For the price I was surprised at how dated the property was. Fitout was probably fine during the 80’s, but there has obviously been little change since then other than contactless check in. Provide cutlery and crockery but no microwave.
