Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Bathroom was tiny. Walls are like paper and you can hear conversations from adjoining rooms, as well as the corridors. Was woken up by our neighbours and staff shouting down the hallways. Be warned if you book here and are looking to sleep early / sleep in.
Room was good and clean - had evidently been recently updated. Liked the hard floors rather than dirty carpets.

Booked a king, confirmed a king and when we arrived, told the last king was booked & downgraded to a single queen. Asked for a double queen & told sold out.When we left at about 8am, there were other 4 cars in the parking lot and it's a big place so I doubt they were sold out! Very loud quests that I think were having conversations across hallways with doors open as I kept hearing "close your doors ". Still at 11:30pm. Very small.

Small room. Looked like a 1960's room. No USB connections to charge electronics. Barking dogs in the building. The complimentary breakfast was a joke. Held in an old abandoned restaurant. Your choice was waffles, cold cereal, muffins, and apples the size of pool balls. Had to leave and find a restaurant. On my next trip to Albert Lea I will not stay here.
It was very clean and the staff were very helpful

We were in room 127 Dec 1, 2024 check out Dec 2, 2024. Someone with a card key tried to enter our room after 10:00p. Our chain kept them from entering. We complained but no manager was available. Our room at the Ramada had 1 broken lamp, 3 and lamps which were missing light bulbs. The tub drain took 4 hours to let the water from one shower out. They opened the pool for a group to swim after hours and they played water basketball from 10-12:30a. We complained but no manager was available. They are supposed to call us that was over 5 hours ago.. The breakfast they tell you is in the restaurant, but it is not a restaurant breakfast but rather a simple continental breakfast which is fine, unless led to believe it is something else. The coffee lukewarm, the cereal stale, the waffle maker slow. No creamer available, limited napkins and plastic wear. We will not be returning to this hotel again. Helen Meissner

there was no cable so no TV. I had called in the morning to request a handicap room yet I had been assigned to a regular room on 2nd floor. the staff quickly made an adjustment of rooms. no cable so no TV, no regular coffee, the room was extremely cold-took shower to warm up and water backed up into shower basin, the chain on front door was broken. During the late evening there were very loud kids and a barking dog! Parking Lot has huge potholes, too! I feel that my stay should have been totally comp'd for all the issues I experienced. I have stayed at many Ramadas and none were this bad.
Great staff

The hotel used to be called "Heritage Hotel", I guess it was acquired and rebranded as a Ramada Inn, but definitely looks not just dated but decrepit. It was supposed to be a 2-star hotel, but I don't see how it could have any stars at all. The night clerk was loudly venting racist opinions about Chinese and other minorities which made us feel very uncomfortable. That is not hospitality.
Nothing.

I was expecting better for the breakfast. Seeing omelets and sausage links in sandwich bags turned me off from even wanting to eat them. I at a muffin and a very chewy granola bar. The apple juice was great.
The room and pricing was was decent for what I was looking for. The bathroom could have been a little bigger but all in all it was good. The room had a weird smell.
