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.).

AustraliaThe rooms are extremely tired. The carpet was threadbare in places and was rotten underneath where the mini bar fridge had been leaking (obviously for some time). The curtains were mouldy and the paint peeling in places. The bathroom is straight out of the 70s and is in need of a refresh. When we turned on the kettle, the power circuit blew and it took us some time to find the reset switch. This happened 4 times and we only used the kettle twice. We could not get the air conditioner to work, to dehumidify the room.
The motel was easy to find and central to many attractions in the Blue Mountains.

AustraliaAccommodation is a little dated. Fridge exterior needs repainting. Bed was comfortable enough but perhaps time for a new mattress. Could do with a thorough clean (some cobwebs on ceiling and in wardrobe).
Town centre a short drive away. Great location; short walk to Echo Point. Very affordable. Manager friendly and immediately replaced flickering light globe. On site parking near unit. Quiet location at night.

AustraliaThe "superior" room was anything but. It was small and cramped, old and tired. mold on the ceiling in the bathroom. the exhaust fan didn't work so toilet paper (when provided by request), was wet. Inadequate power points for computer and chargers. Very short on equipment. There was no toaster, cutlery, plates, bowls. We were told over the phone from the office (no staff) that "no motels provide toasters" because of the cost if fire brigade is called due to smoke alarm. We have never stayed in a motel that didn't provide a toaster. A quick check of nearby motels showed they all did.
Not much

AustraliaThe only thing I didn't like was that the only table and chairs that was outside on the top floor was outside my window. So there was a group of people sitting out there every night. Talking loud and the old man always faced he's chairs to our window and just kept staring in. It was very uncomfortable and creepy 😬

AustraliaThe Superior Twin Room did not meet our expectations of a 4 star property. The room was grotty, the lower fridge door, the lower cupboard door sliding rail and the power points behind the bed head were all dirty. The large bed was comfortable, however the single bed was not.
The location was good, an easy walk to Echo Point. The bathroom was clean.

CanadaClean, but a bit dated/worn. Accommodation claims to be contactless, so no interactions with any owners or staff. To me it seems like a covid relic of doing business that the owners seem to prefer because requires less work to deal with customers. Usually this type of motel accommodation has a bit of charm because of the interactions with front office folks, this place lacks any of that. Nothing specifically wrong with the stay, I just wouldn’t stay there again because it had zero personal connection either owners /ppl running the place.
Value accommodation that reasonably close to main attractions.

United KingdomMotel operates a zero touch policy which means there was no one there to greet me. Whilst my room was clean and comfortable, the motel is a bit tired. The fridge and bathroom light were rusty. It could have done with a coat of paint and some other refurbishments. The door lock was very worn and hard to unlock. For three nights it was OK, and reasonably priced.
Room was ready when I arrived. Close to Blue Mountains attractions
