Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate "subscores" in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their 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 States of AmericaThe neighborhood is a little iffy and the exterior needs some work. The shower had little water pressure and skimpy towels. Pretty pricey for the location and accommodations. Supply and demand i guess.
A little concerned when we saw the exterior and the neighborhood, but the room was very clean and obviously had been remodeled recently. It was only 2 blocks to Art's corner cafe where we had a great breakfast.

SpainThe facility is quite old and the street is quite noisy.The attention is correct but not excellent.
It was clean and reasonably good state. It is what you could expect from a one-night motel, but not to stay longer.

United States of AmericaThe only complaint, which is huge in my opinion, is I was on the street side and it was very loud. I wasn't able to sleep at all. So if you're a light sleeper, be sure to get a room in the back, otherwise, the street traffic and people walking by is quite loud. The street on which the motel is located is a busy street all day and night. Again, if you're a light sleeper and can get a room in the back, please do so.
The staff was amazing and very accommodating. The room was very clean and smelled good. The a/c worked very well, the force of the shower was perfect. The bed was huge and very soft, which is a good thing for those who like soft beds. The motel is a very short driving distance from the beach. FREE parking, cable and WIFI.

United States of AmericaThe parking is limited so if you have a lot to carry, get there early, but there is still street parking and the neighbor seemed safe..
The room was nicely decorated and comfortable, it was a bit snug but understandable so the beds could be big and comfy. It was very clean and the bathroom was spacious and appeared to be newly remodeled. The person that checked us in was nice and helped direct us to area restaurants. Great place for breakfast just a block away.

United States of AmericaThere was no breakfast but there was a refrigerator and a Keurig for coffee.
The Crystal Lodge Motel was an older property but remodeled. The owner made check-in so easy and he offered suggestions for things to do and places to eat. He was so friendly and that’s a huge plus in the hospitality business. We had a room on the back side away from the street and it was so quiet. The remodeled room was remarkable. The location was in close proximity to almost everything in town including being just a few blocks away from the beach.

United States of AmericaThe motel faces a very busy street that quiets down in the evenings, of course, but if you’re sensitive to noise bring ear plugs or request a room that faces the back. I was able to sleep just fine.

United States of AmericaThe room had a cleaning solution smell. Nice to know it was cleaned, but it was rather pungent.
The bed was super comfortable - my husband actually checked the tag for a potential future purchase 😆 Management upgraded us to a room with a kitchen for free! I guess based on availability for the evening. We chose this hotel because it was close to the event location we were in town for and it was exactly what we needed (clean, budget hotel)
