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...).

- • Solo traveler

The breakfast provides some basic minimal sustenance but offers no fruit or eggs and shamefully overrelies on single-use plastic - environmentally thoughtless, lazy and behind the times. I had to wifi connect my devices at the reception then take them back to the room before being online there! Several guests seemed to be having language barrier issues with the motel's (not very racially diverse) staff although I found them to be fairly helpful, if not actually welcoming.....
The parking arrangements were quite flexible. Conveniently, this place's location makes the River Walk reachable on foot but calling it 'Downtown' is somewhat misleading. Rather, this is a motel on a corner of San Antonio's Interstate ring road that happens to pass not too far from the old centre....

There were burn holes in our comforter, mattress cover was noisy and made crunching sound, which was annoying. I didn't feel real safe as we were near the highway but we didn't have any trouble from anyone who walked by the outside of the hotel gate property. Our blow dryer didn't work but they did replace it for us while we were out. With a little more updates to the rooms and a little better quality towels, sheets and shower amenities, it would be a little better. Also not sure what the breakfast was but didn't appear to be much more than packaged pastries, cereal bars, etc.
Staff was nice and inside the room was clean and partially updated.

I have gone above and beyond trying to get my security deposit back from this hotel. After day 7 when deposit had not returned to my account I literally went to office and at that point was advised it may take up to 20 days. Yesterday, day 20, I spoke with front desk rep and was told deposit was never even set up to be returned to my account. I left him my number to contact me once that was set up. No call. So here again, I contacted them today and was told they didn't know when the manager would be in. And again left my information so I could be contacted by someone. I mean I don't know what else to do to get my security deposit back.

The things I did not like is that for some reason the hot water was not really hot it was just warm and the outside of the hotel did look a lot more run down than the inside and they say free breakfast but just cereal and toast I don't call that a free breakfast I call that just being lazy
The rooms are really nice clean comfortable bed and everything was really nice in the restroom and in the bedroom

I booked the booking expecting to have a bathtub, with us not having one at home only a shower I was really looking forward to this. they only had a shower. the tv only worked on one channel and then stopped working on the second day. only the bottom plug worked in the hotel not the top ones. the paint job was very sloppy in the rooms. the cleaning wasn’t the best. there was graffiti on the bathroom mirror. the toilet didn’t have a lid, so when showering we had to place clean clothes on the floor. the mini fridge made a loud aggressive noise. oh also we booked a room with queen beds. the have a queen bed at home. the beds in the room were 100% smaller than a queen. they seemed like a full.
I liked that it was easy accessible to things in the city like Market square and AT&T center.
