Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United States of AmericaI wish that we had known that some of the rooms have been converted to non-carpet, so we could have requested that. If someone is a light sleeper, the road noise was a little loud, but we were totally fine with earplugs. As with a lot of restaurants post-Covid, the on-site breakfast varied in time it took due to staffing. The first morning was super fast. The second morning, there was only one person in the kitchen and he was in the weeds. He was so nice and trying to stay on top of the orders. It was just busy for one person. If you plan accordingly or order something that is quicker, it is fine. Just may take some patience or adaptability (which not all guests had). The pillows were pretty hard. It would have been nice to have some different density options.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay. This hotel is a really good vlaue. The first room we were in had some issues, but the staff was so accommodating and helpful to move us to a different room. We really appreciated it. The 2nd room was good. The bed was firm but comfortable. Good size. We liked having a refrigerator. Location for going to White Sands was great. It was nice to have some restaurants nearby for after hiking. Breakfast was delicious. The big towels were a nice touch.

United States of AmericaBreakfast took forever after ordering!!! Need to get that sorted out. And I went kind of late and didn't seem like there was THAT big of a rush. Room was maybe a little dated but hey it's the desert in Alamogordo.
I chose this one due to proximity to White Sands NP. 15 minutes away! Staff waited for me to arrive even though I was coming in late at night. Room had everything I needed. Good breakfast.

Nestled in Alamogordo, New Mexico, the Classic Desert Aire Motel offers a peaceful retreat for travelers exploring the Southwest. Despite its vintage charm, the motel provides modern comforts and a warm welcome from the staff. Conveniently located near outdoor attractions like White Sands National Park, it's an ideal stopover for those seeking a taste of desert beauty and hospitality.
