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 StatesThe breakfast foods tasted a bit artificial.
We were last minute searching for a hotel and Gateway Hotel caught my attention. I went ahead and booked online, and the process was very quick and easy. When we got there, it was a bit hard to find a good parking spot because the lot is a little small. However, that wasn’t a big deal. It was a very convenient location because my husband planned to fish right down the street. Upon checking in, the gentleman at the desk was very friendly and polite! He offered us a pull out bed at no charge, which I thought was so neat! We got our key cards and went to our room. It was very nice and clean, just a little smaller than what I had expected. The next morning, we got to witness such a gorgeous and breathtaking view of the sunrise! It was a great way to start the day. Breakfast was fine, I felt everything tasted a bit artificial, but it wasn’t terrible. Overall, my party and I enjoyed our stay. Gateway Hotel took great care of us and we will be back for sure! 😎

United StatesBreakfast was full of junk food. Cold muffins. Extra sugary waffles. Mostly the usual continental breakfast. Rooms were not noise proof. There was a huge party downstairs in a gathering hall that went on till 10pm. It kept our kid awake.
Central location. Walkable to everything.

United StatesThe walls were pretty thin so you could hear everyone around you while in the room. They did have quiet hours from 10pm to 8am which was nice. The shower stall was also fairly small and the shower head was pretty low which made it awkward for a taller person to shower.
Hotel offered a decent selection for breakfast and the location was amazing. The whole town is about 2 miles long and this hotel is right in the middle which made it convenient to walk to places.

United StatesThe weather LOL
The family suite was perfect for grandparents traveling with “kids” and grandkids. Laundry facilities right down the hall were handy to dry out clothing several times during our short but rainy stay. Transportation was ample but we could walk to most destinations. Breakfast served our needs perfectly. Desk clerk was helpful. Appreciated the motel storing our luggage so we could explore Seward before check in.

United Statesit was over priced, but they get you because there are very few options.
Seward is small, so the Hotel is right in town. It's just a few minutes walk to the shore. The hotel seems new, it's spacious and very clean. A bit over priced in my opinion. The price includes a standard continental breakfast.
