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 StatesThe room was kinda small but that would be the only thing I could say negative. We enjoyed our stay. It was extremely quiet.
Close to Lake Huron.

United StatesWe were the only people on the property. We had to call to get our room number and a code to unlock the door. We never talked to a person face to face and we arrived at little after 5 pm. Felt a little weird. Also sent us a text with the WiFi info and said we could get breakfast at the motel next door.
It was very small and the outside is being repaired along with the inside. The room was remodeled and clean. Nothing extra in the room.

United StatesA microwave was available, but not in each room.
We traded up to a king room after we got there. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. The room was large, had a sofa and good size bathroom. The location was perfect, quite and close to the waterfront. The room was very clean and nicely decorated.We enjoyed the stay so much , we booked another night's stay. The owner Timay Patel was very friendly. When we arrived, he met us outside and showed us the different rooms, so we could pick. The breakfast was at a hotel he owns next door. During the week was waffles,boiled eggs,cereal and bagels.

United StatesWe immediately smelled marijuana upon entering the hallway which was really off putting. Then, were unable to utilize the TV. All channels kept saying they were unauthorized which was a huge bummer. Attempted to reach property through the app, we had no help to resolve this issue. "Suites" are alot smaller than anticipated.
Clean. Check in with door codes are convenient. Location was perfect for our needs.

United StatesThere wasn't a hot tub. They said we could use the hot tub at a different motel at a different location. SAY WHAT! No breakfast but they said we could go to a different motel at a different location for breakfast. ARE YOU KIDDING! The wifi didn't work and they fixed it and it worked briefly and then no wifi and no staff. Electrical wiring that appeared to be for smoke/fire alarms were dangling from the ceiling in several locations!? FALSE ADVERTISING!! TV partially functioned. They said previous occupants messed with the TV settings. IS THIS A BAD JOKE?! We want a full refund for the one night we stayed. We left a written message in front of the office door weighted down with rocks. Took photos of it and of the hanging wires in the ceiling. I can send photos from my phone but I'm 72 years old and don't know how to get them from my phone to my laptop.
There wasn't any breakfast! False advertising- nothing to like. Only stayed one night.
