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 location was very noisy and the furnishings were worn.
The staff was very helpful and gave my lots of help and suggestions. They even refunded one night when I had to check out earlier than planned. There is an excellent restaurant two businesses away so I could walk there by myself in about two minutes!

United States of AmericaI didn’t ask for them, and I’m sure they would’ve been supplied had I asked, but there weren’t enough provided pillows for two people. They were only two total. Usually there are four on a queen size bed from my experience.
Location was good and the owner was very nice. The bed was very comfortable. The room was clean including the bathroom. The water for the shower was nice and hot. This is an older building and has some quirks. I was looking to experience an old Florida motel feel for my grandson and I and it delivered. Nothing brand new furniture wise in the room but everything was clean. The mattress slept very well and seemed new. The appliances were squeaky clean and the television stations were plentiful. There was room to play with my grandson with his cars on the floor and the other guests were really nice to talk to. So if you want to experience the traveling experience of yesteryear in Florida, this would be your place.

United States of AmericaThe hotel has a little bit of a sketchy vibe to me (door looked like someone had tried to break into it before, the bathroom counter had old cigarette burns on it, sheets had some holes), but I saved almost $200 from the other people I was traveling with who stayed at bigger name places. I had a feeling of what the room would look like, so I was not surprised and it did not disappoint me. I travel a lot, and I know if I am paying almost half the cost of a national chain, that I am going to know why as soon as I arrive. We only needed the room to sleep and shower. It did that perfectly. Though the surroundings seemed sketchy to me, it was quiet and I never heard a peep from any of the other people around us. We slept great, and that's what we needed it for!
The man who checked us in was very nice and accommodating and very friendly and clearly worked hard at what he does. I'm not sure if he is the owner or not, but he worked like he was. Very nice man. The room had a full size fridge and freezer, so that was nice to make sure we had food and drinks available to us after a long day of hot, dusty horse showing!

United States of AmericaA few things that I personally did not care for, was the towels were a tad on the shorter side (I'm 5'10, hubby is 6'2) and the bed is not exactly the most comfortable thing in the world. However, I do have a bad back and most beds aren't super comfy to me. My husband slept perfectly fine. The bathroom was a TAD bit dirty, but I do not think that was done on purpose, due to the rest of the room being beautifully clean.
The owner Sam was an absolute gem! Hard to find these days. He is definitely old school Florida. Full of charisma, class, caring, and just has a big heart. He truly cares for his guests. You can tell he has been doing this a long time. The hotel is definitely old school Florida. The room was clean and smelled wonderful when we arrived. Another thing about Sam that warmed my heart was that I woke up a tad under the weather and was running behind getting dressed (we were in town for a funeral), my husband asked if it would be ok if we stayed a little past check out and he told him that we were ok and not to worry. True compassion.

United States of Americathere is just one thing that I would like to see improved is an electrical outlet near the night stands. but I ask the owner for an extension cord so that helped!
it is a comfortable and relaxing place to stay. The owner of the motel is a hard worker in keeping the customers comfortable and feeling secure in their surroundings. Love that pets are allowed to stay without an high extra charge. The rooms are clean and have an apt size refrigerator and microwave with a small kitchenette sink and a couple of cabinets. There is a desk/ chair and also another lounge chair. also a dresser that has a decent amount of storage along with a granite top. Quite a bit of work has gone into improving the facility and it’s a process in work. Bottom line it is my go to place to stay when traveling thru Ocala and I will plug that next door the owner purchased the Shamrock Motel which I will stay in next visit. the Shamrock is designed for people who enjoy a whimsical and bohemian atmosphere that gives a relaxing atmosphere. The decor is awesome and I hear the managers go above and beyond in accommodations for visitors.

United States of AmericaThe location was good, the staff nice, the room was good, and with some painting and elbow grease this motel would increase its ratings
This property is in a good location to go in any direction. I like the use of a refrigerator & microwave to have breakfast without having an additional stop in the morning. It makes it easy to get up & go on my daily adventures.

United States of AmericaSee above….
Location was good for us. Room was old - but it is noticeable that they are trying to update it AND the property. A picture on the wall in our room had a broken glass, parking was very tight, bathroom looked clean but it was not up to our standards- partly due to being so old. The kicker was a sign on the outside wall that told guests “the police have the right to enter the property and make arrests is necessary” and the strong marijuana smell coming up from the lower level of the motel (motel seems have a daylight basement level). That gives you an idea of condition of the property.
