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 StatesFor the most part everything was good but they no longer have the shuttle to the casino, it was taken out 3 YEARS ago. Far long enough to have it out of the booking by now. There were also little things that I missed but also didn't effect my experience much, such as no shelves in the bathroom for clothes or towels as well as no hooks or rods. The roll of toilet paper was almost out when we checked in but were left with a new roll for us to put in ourselves. Only one bar of soap is provided for amenities. Thankfully we brought our own supplies. Also 1 sign by a public trash can really just irked me, it stated when full for the guest to take out the trash to the dumpster. I definitely feel like this shouldn't be a request of "guest".
It was affordable for the location but it was very much in the meh category of good. It had most of what it claimed to but I kept feeling like little things were missing.

United StatesThe outside of the motel appearance was not very good. You had to drive through a truck stop parking lot to get to the motel. When entering the motel I had to speak to the attendant through a glass window which made me have second thoughts about keeping our reservation. The area around the front desk where you checked in was not very well keep.
The two rooms that we reserved were newly remodeled and clean. Microwave and mini fridge appeared to be new. The indoor swimming pool was nice and appeared to have been properly cleaned. The vending machines were well stocked and had a nice variety

United StatesWhen first arriving in the parking lot there was a women who looked as if she was "working". If you follow me. There was a busted down RV and a truck that someone was draining oil out of and people sitting on the stairs smoking. Once entering the establishment the place reeked of what I assume was the staff/owners cooking and musty. Why we continued I'm not sure of. The whole place was ran down. The pool was not accessible. Our room was on the second floor. Those stairs have seen some accidents in their days. They are not level and concrete. We passed the only ice machine on our floor and you guessed it. Out of order, but if it were usable I'd recommend a tetanus shot. At last we found our room. We entered and the first thing noticeable was the over powering smell of mildew. Secondly our light didn't work. We turned on the air conditioner which sounded like it was on its last leg. The final straw was when the toilet decided it was no longer going to be functioning either. After two sleeps in this place the whole family was ready to go. Luckily we didn't spend much time in the room other then to sleep. The only thing I can say was a positive about this stay was the location to Adventureland. I would not choose this place if you have children or if you simply appreciate plumbing and breathable air.

United StatesGot there and the pool was closed the ac sucked in our room and the tv was cracked the ac is disgusting. Probably blow a little bit better if the fins were clean on the fan. Water pressure sucked for shower. And the door had a crack in it so you could see out in the hallway. The door latch also had screw coming out of the lock was definitely not worth the money.

United StatesThe hotel is attached to a truck stop and had a lot of road workers staying there. It was not an environment I felt comfortable having my teenage daughter and young kids staying in. We took one look at the interior of rooms and all collectively decided to keep driving down the road. Paid for 2 rooms and didn’t even sleep there.
Front desk worker was nice and the room seemed clean overall
