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 AmericaWe weren’t able to use the tv in our room because it wouldn’t connect to the internet, also we had some difficulty controlling the heater so our room got very warm at times.
We had a lot of fun using the 420 room with juke box and arcade games. We also enjoyed using the hot tub late at night and the breakfast in the morning was very good!

United States of AmericaWe love the idea of the TV on the ceiling but it was a little difficult to watch even while lying down as it was directly above. Ideally (though not really a big deal), it would be better placed a little more forward.
Breakfast was perfect. Room was very comfortable and theme based which was really cool. Loved meeting the resident cats, Edwardo and Norma, who were very sweet.

United States of AmericaThe sheets on the round bed kept popping off which was annoying, but didn’t take anything away from the stay / experience.
So many fun things to do on the property! The spa under the trees was a great place to wind down, the arcade provided entertainment and many laughs, it was all perfect for a fun getaway. The staff were AMAZING, and the breakfast was delicious!!! They even made me a gluten free & vegetarian meal!! The kitties were adorable & sweet too!

CanadaThere were ants in the bathroom and there was no soap or shampoo in the shower. There was only one light blanket in the room so we gave it to our friend who slept on the couch and just used the sheet. It got very cold in the room and so we did not sleep well. I'm not sure if there's a heater, but we could not find one.
The breakfast was so amazing and as always the staff were incredibly lovely. The room was very fun and I was happy the hot tub was open.

United States of America1. Skeleton and room with heavy Halloween decoration. 2. The room was very dark with insufficient lighting 3. Dark walls (which is different than pictures online) 4. Recreational drugs 5. Causes allergies 6. against my belief
The pictures online shows clean and nice rooms but after my arrival, the condition was not acceptable and was not livable for my family and a friend. We immediately returned the room, and they still charge me $297 dollar. We left the Hicksville Bud and Breakfast. The online picture can be misleading, the room cause my friend sick.

United States of AmericaThe place is a real mess. The thermostat in our room was broken and in 40 degree weather this quickly became quite unpleasant, staff provided a space heater that blew the circuits, we then changed rooms to much smaller room and the heater in there wouldn't turn off so it was way too hot. Management offered paltry "refund" that was less that the difference between the rooms. We drove 120 miles to basically be told if we didn't like it we could turn around and go back, not particularly great customer service. Apparently under new management as of a month or so ago and the staff, as friendly and helpful as they were trying to be, simply weren't trained to handle these kinds of problems, they kept calling the management team who apparently are based in Joshua Tree and got only half measure replies that didn't do anything to really address our valid concerns. Sucks too, was really looking forward to this little vacation but it really fell way short of my expectations.
