Each 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):
- 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...).

Communication. The parking lot was not plowed so the trucks that use this motel got stuck and a wrecker had to be called.
The manager was helpful. But there was a launguage issue.

The heat didn't work the first night. It seemed to only blow cold air even when set as high as 85. I finally turned it off thinking the room would be "warmer" without the cold air blowing. It was still quite chilly in the room but better. The next night i turned it back on to see if i would have the same problem. That seemed to reset it because it warmed up right away.
This was super convenient to the border crossing. The beds were comfortable. The TV worked fine. The office staff were friendly. In fact we were a little late checking in on our first night but he opened the door and made us feel welcome anyway.

Too many plugged in things had lights (to show it was on) which kept the room well during the night. Resisters keep clicking. Annoyances.
Location. A 5 min walk to Peace Arch Park, Easy to get to border crossing in the morning. Room was very clean and comfortable. Very quiet from outside noises.

When I booked, I advised my 83 year mother was travelling with a wheelchair and requested a bathroom for a handicapped person. The Motel management only advised they did not have a handicapped bathroom after the option for free cancellation expired and the full amount for the 3-day stay was processed on my credit card. I was deprived of the option to choose a different hotel. Very disappointing.

The bathroom could stand an update. The handle for the bathtub faucet came off while we were using it.
Mike and his family (owners) are fantastic. They made sure to check in with us during our 4 night stay to make sure we were ok on linens and other essentials. The property is very basic, but the room was clean, carpet was new and the paint was fresh. Overall, it was very comfortable and perfectly located for our stay at the Canadian border. :)

No water in room and owner man was too much extra talkative. He was insisting on using card. I am travelling as tourist and don't trust as I was been extra charged before but the owner man was too much.
The location it's walking 2 minutes to peace arch park. But don't try to sneak in the park otherwise you will face too many questions like movies. Hotel was nice peaceful no surround sound. Owner lady is very nice. As her for anything she was nice and smile 😃 thank you maan for spoon and plates

Some of the flooring was loose and squeaked when walking on it. One drawer in the bathroom vanity was repaired with packaging tape. The shower head could be better if replaced. The staff need to not be talking (on cells phones) while walking at night past the rooms, it disturbs the early to bed patrons.
It was evident that the owner has made effort to improve the mote. New flooring, and furniture, beds. They kept is clean and were friendly.
