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...).

The WiFi was extremely weak and it was hard to watch the news because of buffering. It would be nice to have better access to an ice machine.
The rooms were well appointed with comfortable beds that were very clean.

There is no front desk staff. You text a number if you need anything and it could take a while for them to get back to you.
Great location- walking distance to restaurants and centrally located close to the springs

There was a ton of dust and a long sock under the bed and hairball in the closet, so you could tell the cleaning was likely more of a surface clean.
Close proximity to town (walkable!), seamless check-in, really cute room, and a lot of communication about how to check-in and when. Would definitely stay here again!!

Clean, thoughtfully designed motel. Nice location in walking distance from restaurants and such without being in the middle of town. The Neon Mallard bar in front is a gem in its own right. Umbrella provided in the room which came in handy. Nice attention to details here.

I enjoyed it all.
I'm a big fan of repurposed "vintage" roadside motels which have been upgraded. Yes, the room is small but it was cozy and classically decorated and had what I needed - a place to hang my jacket, a luggage rack, a comfortable bed, a tv with Netflix and other access. The bathroom was upgraded with black and white tile, a "rain" shower head with lots of hot water, and fluffy towels. Easy parking right in front of the door and keyless entry.

Really thin old walls making it impossible to sleep through the noise outside from the trash truck at 7am. Onsite bar closed at 10pm on Sunday so was closed when we got back to the room after the hot springs.
Easy access, great communication, equipped kitchen. The kids loved that there was a basketball hoop in the parking lot!

The floor was uneven and created a lot of creaking noises. We can even hear the people walking in the other room. The doors needed realignment. We had to push it really hard to close. The windows in the bathroom was facing other people's garage. Parking was tight. We appreciate communication but staff sent lengthy text messages several times and instructions.
Refurbished boutique motel style. Parking on sight. Walking distance to town. The kitchenette had everything we need. The room is small but practical and functional. We appreciate the dining table and benches.

Pull up and park right next to your room. The room and bathroom were spotless. Location was as good as it gets and a really nice hotel bar. Neighbors were respectful of each other; we got some really good rest.
