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...).

The price and the location were great. Bed was comfortable and heater worked well, although a little noisy. I appreciated saving money on lodging in Joshua Tree and being close to the entrance.

United StatesJust seeing the potential of this property not being pursued. This place could be a "boutique motel". But then of course the prices would go way up!
This place reminds me of the "old highway motel". Needs work, but great potential. Great location. fun to stay, but don't expect much. Adequate.

United KingdomThere was confusion at check in as I had expected the money to have been taken prior to our arrival as per usual Bookings email. So when I was asked to pay the full amount I had to go online to check that it hadn't already been taken - which it hadn’t. However on the second attempt there was an error inputting the amount as the decimal point was incorrectly entered so that a 3 or possibly 4 figure amount would have been taken if we hadn’t noticed. It was sorted and we paid on another card but please ensure you check carefully.
.Although the motel is old-style it was really clean and comfortable. A lot of thought had gone into the room which included a table with two soft dining chairs. The walkin tiled shower was small but very clean and powerful. The outdoor pool although not heated was bliss and big enough for a proper swim. Extremely good value for money.

GermanyUnfortunately the AC was super loud and it wasn't possible to sleep without it because of the heat. The pool was also closed.
The concierge (?) was exceptionally sweet and helpful. He offered me a lot of advice about Joshua Tree Park and the neighborhood. He even handed me printed out maps since you won't have signal in the area. When I checked out, there was another map put in my car window... how sweet and kind! The room is okay for what it is. It was clean and pretty big. Shower pressure was good. Wifi worked without any problems.

United StatesWe loved it!
We did not have great expectations -- we had booked a cheap motel for one night prior to heading for the campgrounds at JTNP. We were pleasantly surprised!! Ravi, the owner and host is delightful -- he was so gracious and helpful. The room was large, clean, and comfortable -- we loved that the room had a backdoor out to a very charming garden area. The motel -- a throwback to the 1950s is conveniently located with walkable access to the local restaurants and shops.
