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 are 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 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 StatesSpa was not working. Web site is a bit misleading since there is no breakfast served.
Conveniently located, the lodge shows a bit of wear but overall was a very nice play to stay. The room was clean and well-equipped, with a comfortable bed, two sinks and a nice shower. The room seemed to have been updated within the past few years and a hard floor kept things a bit cleaner than with carpet. Fresh danish were in the lobby each morning.

United StatesIt is a very well-loved, well-worn hotel. Even though we paid less than other places, to me, it was still a lot of money for the quality of lodging. The tv was fuzzy. The carpet is old. The furnishings and structure are old. So if you are very particular about furnishings, you will NOT be happy with the condition of this hotel! One small elevator. So we got our steps in and used the stairs-so probably not great for strollers and wheelchairs, since only one party could fit at a time.
The location was the best! Across the street from Mission Santa Ynez (cross this off my bucket list to see all the missions!) and super easy to walk down the street to all the shops and restaurants! I actually loved that it used a regular key vs an electronic key! Shower had great water pressure. Towels were good. Bed was comfy. Had a microwave and small fridge. And a little coffee maker. We spent just one night, and upon checking out, was pleasantly surprised by complimentary pastries from OLSEN"S! The line for Olsen's was sooooo long...so what a sweet treat to get fresh pastries from that bakery! Free parking is ALWAYS appreciated. Early check in was appreciated also! Nice staff!

United StatesWas super disappointed in the lack of insulation around the door which made any outside noise echo in the room. The people in the room next to us kept having people banging on their door which sounded like our door was being knocked on, which at one point I answered the door to a guy waiting for the room to open the door. I mentioned the noise level to them but it didn't stop. Ended up calling to the front desk about it. Seemed to stop after that but anytime anyone walked by we could hear their full conversation. When we checked out, there was no mention about our complaint from the staff. Hotel was clean but expected a little more for the fee we paid.
The location was fantastic, just a short walk to all the city center sites. The outside of the hotel was cute and fit in perfectly with rhe town decor

United KingdomBeds are very subjective; this one didn't really suit me. And after the night time view comes the morning noise! Some double glazing would be good!
Right in the center - we loved the lights of the town outside our window and the easy walk to places to eat. And appreciated being able to leave our car all the next morning while we looked around the shops.

IndiaThe vending machines don't work. One of them sucked my dollar. The hotel also doesn't stock toothpaste and toothbrushes or bottled water.
The room was beautiful and very clean. There was a working fireplace in the corner of the room as well. Beautiful furniture. The hotel staff didn't have any toothpaste though and when their vending machine didn't work, they didn't do much about it...but that's a minor complaint. Overall very nice stay.

PhilippinesIt was stated in the email sent after booking that breakfast was included in the payment but when we asked where the breakfast was we were given only pastries NOT the real breakfast, Too noisy especially at night since the location is in the main highway and you can hear the sound of cars/ motorists. One employee was too lazy to print my receipt which I requested upon check out and he did it only after I told him that in the previous two hotels where we stayed that we were given printed receipts. Very disgusting!
Room was so spacious and big.

United StatesDanishes
The room was great. The fireplace was wonderful to wake up to. The two recliners were great to relax in. The building itself had a dated look to it that made it look warm and fuzzy. However, the "breakfast" was something that was left to be desired. I love Danishes. However, I also do not like coming down to the office to see a box holding Danishes that have the "grease" soaked into it. They were hard and were the day old (or older) rejects from a local bakery. They were so hard (how hard were they?) that I took two each day and then painted them black and I am currently using them for Hockey pucks for my team. It may seem like a minor point but a nicer display (put them on a tray) along with a coffee pot and condiments for coffee would have gotten them a much higher rating. Overall, it was worth the money for the room and the staff. I would stay there again if the opportunity presented itself.

United StatesThe prices have really jumped and I no longer find it acceptable that there haven't been any updates. The beds and bedding can use a little TLC. The rest of the stuff doesn't matter as much, but a comfy bed would be really nice.
They have a few danishes in the morning, the staff is really nice and the rooms are, "roomy". We love staying here and the pool and hot tub are such a bonus! It's my favorite motel in Solvang.

South KoreaThe facilities are very old-fashioned, and there was only Danish(?) bread called breakfast. (No egg or drinks, nothing but a few breads).
The only thing I satisfied is the location. It's the starting point of downtown. There is fire place in the room and I thought it would be great if I could visit again in winter season.
