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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United StatesNo management on site - managed from adjacent motel. No ice machine on site. A/C didn't work properly. Drive-up price was 30% less than Booking.com's price.
Room was recently redone nicely, bed comfortable. Given it's a tourist area and most other nicer hotels are quite a bit costlier, I suppose it was ok. Location was away from chaos of tourist area, but close enough, on the water, and nice view.

United StatesThe outdoor pool is rather shabby and needs work. Crumbled tiles along border and did not appear kept up with. Lots of geese poop along the small beach and grass. Check in was at next door motel which was not an inconvenience however if there was anything you needed you would have to walk there to get it. Ice machine at that location as well and we were informed it was not working. There is not any curb appeal that sets this place apart from others and the dumpster is not hidden from view. There isn't a room phone to reach office and they can use table side lamp with phone charging ports. For the over priced room they could've offered breakfast not even a cheap Continental breakfast offered. Don't pay extra for lake view because you get almost same view from parking lot
Clean updated room, hot shower, decent beds, lots of towels, good location. Furniture outdated but sufficient. The housekeeping fella does a great job!

United StatesThere were so many mosquitoes inside the room that we had to start spraying bug spray to kill them and had to wear citronella arm bands to bed to help keep them away. There was no housekeeping done after our first night; therefore, we had no clean towels for our 2nd day. I stopped at front desk ( which is at a different motel ) but couldn’t find anyone there. Waited for about 5 minutes and left. And at the beginning of everything, we couldn’t check-in at 4:00. Our room hadn’t been cleaned yet and we were asked to give them 2 hours.
We liked that it had an indoor/outdoor pool.

United StatesThe TV never worked. We let staff know but we were only there one night so don't know if it ever got fixed. We even checked all the hook-ups ourselves. Outside of our room and all the rooms in our section there were empty shampoo bottles and other garbage all over the parking lot.
Appeared to have been recently remodeled. Being an older motel it was nice not smelling cigarettes.

United StatesShould put more towels in the rooms. When you charge a room for up to 4 people, you should put towels and washcloths for 4 people. When cleaning staff is asked for more towels, they need to give them not "forget" in 5 minutes. There should also be at least 1 handicap accessible room with a bigger bathroom a wheelchair can fit in.
Good location. Nice rooms recently redone.

United StatesNo smoke detector in our room. Screen in window facing the lake was not intact at the bottom allowing bugs to come in. Windows/ screens should be cleaned. The same large bird poop that was on the outside of the window last year was still on the window this year. Staff needs to clean the parking lot better. Old soap fragments from stuff falling out of garbage bags and litter scattered on the asphalt in front of the rooms, clean out the burn pits so they can be used. They are full of ashes,sand and cigarette butts so it's not a "pit" so fire is up at the top of the fire ring. More attention to the grounds is needed.
We were pleasantly surprised to find they did some upgrades to the rooms.. Knotty pine walls and laminate floor and updated clean white bedding that looks so much better than the worn out carpet and outdated bedding from last year. Much improved.

United StatesRoom was great, only thing i mentioned at the desk when checking out is if they could have the a/c turned on for people. Our room was so hot when we got there and the one brand new window unit doesn’t cool it down fast.
Perfect place right on the beach with a bridge view. Clean rooms!

United StatesAlthough we purchased the room on line. No where did it say that we wouldn’t be able to check in at our own hotel. We did get a phone call but it was still confusing. We didn’t know where the pool/ hot tub was or how to access. We arrived late and left early but would have loved some more assistance. Arriving late is stressful enough.
The new knotty pine interior was beautiful, the room was clean and the view of the bridge at night was spectacular.
