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 StatesLast time we stayed we had one with an updated bathroom the shower was new and gorgeous this time we had an older room so the shower was very small and outdated.
It showed a gorgeous view of the lake and the sunrise was stunning.

United StatesThere were no hooks or a smaller dresser to unpack your clothes and the closet had only two hangers. There was also not enough lighting.
Convenient location with a short drive to town. Moderately priced offering the essentials for overnight stays. There is no fluff here, there is a refrigerator to bring your own food etc.

United StatesFinding the entry driveway was a bit tricky, at first, as we arrived on the opposite side of the road.
Small, quiet motel near Watkins Glen with a beautiful view of the lake. Enjoyed watching the sun come up over the lake in the morning. Room was clean and comfortable- no frills, but included everything you might need. Owner was helpful and accessible.

United StatesThe bed was too hard for my preference, so it was uncomfortable for me. The shower was very small, which I found a bit challenging. The room could use some artwork on the walls, they are currently bare. It's in Watkins Glenn, so I think some pictures of the scenery in the state park would really add to the room. The bathroom could also use a towel bar. There was nowhere to hang our towels to dry.
Loved the location and the view. We even got to see a double rainbow while staying there. The room was updated and clean.

United StatesThe entrance to the motel needs some signage in the area alerting to the driveway entrance, as the motel is on a divided highway, so if you miss it you need to go down the highway and back up and make a u turn to access the driveway.
The view was beautiful, right above Seneca lake. The room was very clean, updated fairly recently.

United StatesThe room was immaculately clean, except for the mildew on the shower tile grout. That was surprising given how clean the room was. And considering how narrow/tight the shower stall was, it was top of mind for me to keep from touching the walls. The room itself was lacking in charm, but that was fairly and accurately depicted in the Trip Advisor photo, I just didn't notice. A missed opportunity since the property itself had some real vintage cottage potential. It was not walkable to town - we did have to drive down the hill. The bed frame was the newer sheet metal platform type that we have seen in other hotels. Unfortunately, it occasionally emitted a gong-type tone which made us laugh. Not annoying, just a humorous memory of our time in Watkins Glen. I submitted a pic of that. lol.
The views of the lake from the chairs placed outside the room were spectacular. It appeared there was only one other room occupied at the end of this one story 6-or-so room structure, so it was very quiet. I left a valuable personal article in the room - a first ever for us - and the Office Manager called us a few hours after check-out to notify us. We were able to backtrack to get it. I certainly appreciate their honesty!
