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 KingdomThis is an attractive little motel in a very pleasant setting with 'doorstep' access to many trails on the edge of Boulder and a 20-min creek-side walk through a park into the Downtown area. The staff were welcoming and friendly, the room was spacious and comfortable, and breakfast was provided in the price (as well as complementary tea and coffee throughout the day) which made it better value than some if still one of the more expensive motels we encountered on our 3-week trip. Would recommend.

United States of AmericaNothing to complain about. Some of the plumbing was a bit faulty, but this has more to do with corporate and plumbers being hired to deal with such issues. For the most part, there is little if anything to complain about or say that I "didn't like it."
The location is very nice. Although cited as "Boulder, CO," Foot of the Mountain is kinda like a small town outside of Boulder. Since I had a service dog with me, the "woodsy" terrain near the motel was a pleasure for him to roam. Room was decent sized and very comfortable for myself and my service dog. The breakfast was modest, yet completely acceptable and it was free of charge, always a nice hospitality. The staff was very available and helpful..

United States of AmericaAlthough parking was right outside our door, and it had snowed recently, the steps leading to the room were snow covered and a bit icy, as ours was one of the few entries that did not have a covered roof over the entry. Found only one plug in the room, (under the desk), which made charging a bit difficult.
A quirky, older motel that takes you back in time but with upgraded facilities mixed with 50's charm. Small but very clean. The bed was very comfortable. Breakfast very good and well attended. They allowed us an early check in and staff were exceptionally friendly.

United States of AmericaWe were satisfied but found the lighting in the room to be a bit wanky, Squeaky door to the bathroom and rustic plumbing.
Foot of the Mountain is on the western edge of Boulder and about a mile to downtown and to "The Hill". My adult kids and I stayed for a ski vacation and its 45 min to 2 hours from most of the Colorado ski resorts. There is a hot tub but only for a couple of the rooms so if that is important, read carefully. Simple Breakfast was just what we needed. Thanks Patty and the rest of the staff!

The staff is very helpful and nice. They are accommodating to a person's needs. Both my dog and I thoroughly enjoyed it here. The location is great. Doesn't have the "hustle and bustle" of central Boulder, yet it's not far from places to eat and shop. My dog and I both liked the location. Just as the name of the motel, "Foot of the Mountain," it is literally at the foot of the mountain. There's a park nearby that's good for both people and dogs. I will definitely recommend this motel to someone staying in Boulder.

United States of AmericaThis is my favorite place to stay in Boulder. It's like a throwback to when days were simpler and before Boulder became 'SO Boulder.' This place has heart and charm and is in the best location in town--because it's just out of town and up against the mountains, across from Eben J. Park. Favorite place to stay when I come to Boulder. They've got a simple breakfast, coffee and smiles from the office staff all day. It's an older place and that's WHY I stay here. If you want a brand new chain hotel, this place isn't for you and that leaves more room for folks who will appreciate it. :)
