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 StatesThe owner was very understanding of our travel situation. The owner was extremely caring. He made an unexpected, but lovely, upgrade to our accommodations. He turned my frown upside down the rest of our trip! I still stop to smile when things aren't going as planned all because of his kindness. We will definitely stay there again.

United States30 years ago, this was a premier motel on the island. It's definitely showing its age, which is no one's fault. It's a combination of the salty air and water and the exuberant amount it takes to maintain such a place. It's a great place for families with kids, though. There was a lot of joy and laughter coming from the two pools. It just changed ownership, and it was obvious that the staff and family were working very hard to make everyone's stay enjoyable. It will be fun to see how the place evolves in a few years. I hope the new owners will revive some of the former glory.
The rooms were quite large and clean. Very basic and good for a larger family. The ocean view was spectacular! We were on the top floor and you could see for miles! The staff was friendly and attentive. And it's in a great location! Close to everything!

United StatesWe unfolded the sofa bed to set it up for my son to sleep on and found blood on the folded sheets that were to be used for his bed and found food on the mattress (from the couch) that was not from us. I was grossed out.

Switzerlandeverything was perfect
Sands Motel is in a perfect location right on the beach and at the start of the Wildwood Boards. The staff was so pleasant and extremely helpful. The owner (Joe) made sure we had a replacement refrigerator the moment we told him ours was not getting cold. Umberto was fantastic helping us with anything and giving us great restaurant recommendations. Kenny always had a smile and answered our questions. The room was clean and a great size- lots of room, comfortable beds, even a partial ocean view. The kitchenette had just what we needed and the bathroom had nice toiletries. We have been visiting Wildwood for more than 30 years and this is the best place we have ever stayed.

United StatesNo Air taxi from boardwalk to the shoreline, folks spoke of water at the end of Wildwoods massive desert like Beach but think it was just a rumor...ok I'm kidding can't really think of anything pertaining to our room not to Like, go back and read my essay on what I liked!!!.. I don't like apps that ask too many questions!!! Like this one!! Lol
The value, the friendly atmosphere created by the staff. I can't say enough on how satisfied I was with this Motel. Both pools were excellent, our room location was perfect. And I know I requested certain criteria for our room, because of it being myself (Dad) and my 2 daughters and a friend, I needed a room with 2+ beds, privacy for me and the girls, well this facility provided that, my daughters had a bedroom for their privacy and I had the living room area with the pullout sofa bed, like I said perfect, and the price was extremely fair, especially for all that you get back, from the front desk to the cleaning staff, this place was top notch and I know from now on when I stay in the Wildwoods, I'll be staying at The Sands!!
