Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United KingdomCould do with a few more power outlets
Spacious room, modern spacious bathroom, sea view and a very pleasant seaside walk into the centre of Kingscote to eat. We were not expecting this location to be so good.

AustraliaMy bed sqeeked everytime I turned. The motel is a bit outdated & needs some TLC to modernise it. Thank goodness for the view & the balcony.
The location was perfect. The motel had a ramp which was great as I have problems with stairs.

AustraliaI was disappointed that there wasn’t any meal options available and I found the ground floor room we could hear everything upstairs. I think an upstairs room would have been better.
The location was fantastic with a gorgeous view.

AustraliaIn a holiday of several weeks this was one of our most spacious rooms, and with the view over the beach from our upstairs room it made for a delightful stay. An easy walk to the town centre and places to eat. A major selling point for us was onsite RAA charging for our EV.

AustraliaIt was just a little dated but would stay there again and the gardens were well kept as well as the gardens. Even though it was clean and comfortable with a good TV set.
The facility was clean but a little old . The room was large and fridge was supplied with milk. Ensuite was great. The view to the ocean was great and only 200 metres away. Location to town was close and quiet with good parking spaces available. We would stay there again.

AustraliaA couple of extra Pillows and blankets would have been useful. Bed covers were thin. The single mattress I had was a bit hard but as we'd been hiking and camping for the previous 5 days I was very tired and slept ok
Location was great. We only used it as a one night stop after a 4 night hike so we were just after a clean place to shower and sleep before leaving the island the next morning. The room had a great view of the ocean and we were able to open the sliding door (with screen) to enjoy the sea air. The room was big enough for three people to sleep separately on the 3 beds without being on top of each other. Bathroom was large and clean. After a 5 day hike the shower was very important and I can report that the water pressure was more than adequate. The motel was accurately portrayed by the pictures online. I have no complaints about our short stay. We didn't have any reason to contact the staff or owners but didn't need to hassle them for anything. We had only a brief interaction on check in but the man who helped us was friendly and I'm sure he would have helped us if we had any problems. The room was equipped with a kettle and instant coffee, and there was a hair-dryer in the bathroom
