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...).

There was no one on location if we needed something (towels), however, they were quick to respond. There is nothing that I can say that I did not like.
It was very comfortable and very cool decor! We were in the Marilyn Monroe room, and it was awesome! Everything was clean and a convenient location.

The drive in theatre was closed but on their website they said there were movies planned the night we were there. It was a bit disappointing because we loved the concept and booked the place for this reason among others.
The place is calm and super clean! The staff is suuuper sweet and helpful if you need anything. It's close from downtown where there is a lot to do. We thought we'd have the hot tub in the room but it's available in just one suite, so if you book for this be sure you select the good room! We thought every suite had one from what we read on booking. It's next to the most delicious restaurant (Makalu Himalayan sherpa restaurant) and for real you gotta eat there if you love South Asian food!

I have no complaints
Out of all the hotels that I've stayed at that one is the best one not only is the rooms good size clean they got different celebrities rooms you can stay at everything in their room worked and if you love the driving theater I suggest you stay there cuz you'll be able to see the movies and hear them right from your room or the gazebo the staff is really nice anytime I go back to Vermont I am renting from them that's the only place so I highly recommend and the price for the rooms are very reasonable the deposit if you need to pay cash is very good they're not asking for an arm and a leg I'm from Burlington Vermont and I would say that is 100% the best for you to stay at if I could rent a room for 28 days I would and everything you need bars fast food grocery store all right there

I’m not sure this was the inns fault but we had booked for 3 adults and I’m pretty sure our reservation showed a pull out couch which we did not get. So my hubby and I, and our very grown 17 year old son, all had to share a king sized bed. Not the end of the world but they’re both annoying to sleep next to. Haha
Was clean and pretty

NOTHING!! DISLIKED THE WEATHER!!
The location, the simplicity of staying, Pete is always super great for all hours of check ins, no questions asked! Super clean, plus the location is desirable, across the street from a major grocery store, a drug store, Duncan Donuuts is a walk away, The ultra Famous Hoagie Hut, Zachary's Pizza, 2 local bars, plus if you stay in the summer? Free drive inn movies, a place to BBQ, a Chinese restaurant, a gas station, and super convenient to the airport!! Super centerually located. The price is perfect. Cannot express enough how great this place is!! Each room has a them by Stars!! John Wayne, Elvis, Bonnie and Clyde, Marilyn Monroe etc. Parking is easy right outside your door.

While checking in was easy (done remotely), it was a little worrisome because the office was dark. It wasn’t until I called the number in the window that I was reassured that I was expected. Perhaps you could have emailed me to let me know to expect to see a closed office when I arrived?
Newly renovated; super clean; nice towels; room darkening shades; easy checkin

First time ever at a location where no staff was present. Only contact by telephone with key left "hidden" outside. Of course, it's only hidden if you've never stayed there previously.
No complaints about the room. Motif was interesting, i.e. past Hollywood personalities.
