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 KingdomThe water pressure in the shower was pretty poor (Room 1)
The room was modern and very clean! The beds were very comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful! We really did have a lovely stay and it was nice to sit outside the bar and watch the world go by with a drink! We felt safe and secure during the whole visit.

United States of AmericaOur only complaints were some very minor cleanliness issues - a few little dead bugs in the shower and some ants in the room.
We were so excited to find a room that would fit our whole family! The family room had a queen bed, then a door to another room with 6 individual bunks, complete with electrical outlets, reading lights, cabinets for their stuff, and curtains on each bed that could be shut for privacy. Our 6 kids thought it was the coolest room they had ever stayed in. We also enjoyed the pool and outdoor areas. The motel was so cute and remodeled in such a fun mid-century modern style. When we got there we were pleasantly surprised to find out they offered one free drink per adult per night in the bar in the lounge. The motel has deals with a few local restaurants for easy delivery to your room, and it's walking distance to some cute little shops and restaurants as well. The staff was very helpful and friendly and eager to help out whenever we needed something.

NetherlandsThe DJ music on two of the three nights was way too loud. One night we were sleeping directly across the terras, with the speakers pointing toward our room. The loud rap music kept booming into our room until late evening. I appreciate a nice party, but a Motel is used to take a rest for people passing through. In that case, I prefer a night's rest over a party night.
The pool, the decoration of the room, and the ambiance were amazingly great! It all matched the 'old' Route 66 vibe :-)

United States of AmericaI had picked this motel because it had second-floor room options but we were given a ground floor room and couldn't be switched to the second floor. Our room had a bolt lock but no manual bracket locks, which I did not like since the motel is adjacent to such a busy street. Checking out was confusing as there were no staff around to help us, and when I called the front desk number a woman at a different motel picked up.
Simple motel. Large room, easy interstate access if you are just passing through Albuquerque as we were. Good sized, clean pool.

United States of AmericaLike sister motel El Vado around the corner, there is now an emphasis on the social space (read: bar) where the check-in used to be. This is ok, but does mean that sometimes when they have events you may have to scrap for a parking spot, which can be frustrating as a paying motel guest. Unlike El Vado, the public space is also not segregated at all from the motel space, so if your room is closer to the bar, you will likely not be able to get any meaningful rest until the event is over because it is just too noisy.
I had stayed at the Monterey pre-renovation, so I knew the rooms would be spacious, but we weren't prepared for HOW spacious our King Room was. This was very welcome after a week on the road in fairly cramped lodging elsewhere. The room was also very clean, and the bed was comfortable. Overall, the upgrades were well worth it, and the price per night is reasonable for this level of accommodation.

United States of AmericaA/C did not get that cold but it did get 100+ every day that we were there so it was understandable. Hot water and water pressure could have been better.
We liked the old school vibe of the Monterey Hotel. Monday night Happy Hour with the DJ was a great time. You should try to run specials for the local crowd to bring that same energy to Momo's Lounge all the time.

United States of AmericaThe bed was not made properly and there was no mattress pad/cover over the mattress 🤢 The sheet was not pulled down over the bottom of the mattress so my feet were on bare mattress! Yuck. I was tired and got over it. The shower head in our room needed some tightening. We just used it as a hand held. The pool apparently doesn't have hours, so there were people swimming at midnight. We had just gotten there but I can imagine it may have bothered others.
We booked a family suite that included a queen room connected to a room designed for 4 individual bookings with 4 full sized bunk beds. Really cool room. The 4 bed room does not have a bathroom but there are full bathrooms down the way that lock and can be used. Towels and everything. This was great while traveling with 2 adult children! My youngest son (10) said this was the coolest motel he's ever stayed in. Probably true. Very cool and trendy place. Modern and attractive.
