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...).

GermanyThe owner seemed very suspicious (for no reason); his son checked us in, and he was much friendlier. It is quite loud with the highway directly next to the motel and trucks or trains honking at night.
Clean, decently sized room and parking in front of the motel, comfortable beds. The bathrooms are a bit old but still functional.

United States of AmericaThe blanket on the bed was thin—I had to double it over myself to be warm enough, even with the heat set at 68. Check-in could have been more welcoming.
The bed and pillows were very comfortable—often not the case with a bargain hotel— and the price was excellent. The room was clean and the location was good.

United States of AmericaThe fact that I'm being watched constantly. Everything I do. The manage,Manny, is so rude to me. And I've never done anything to him. I'm respectful to his entire family.. Even him. And I think it's just because the way I dress. He thinks I'm so criminal. And I'm not. I'm just a single father of a 15 year old son. And currently we are homeless. So we've been here off and on since April and have spent thousands of dollars at this hotel. And I still get treated like I'm doing something wrong when I'm not. I've had to fix my truck from breaking down and don't have any other place to do it at. So I've worked on my truck a few times. It was all emergencies. And have ask them beforehand and also cleaned up after myself. I've cleaned my room every day. I'm such a clean person. I can't even have my little brother come over to visit. Manny seem to think that my family members are of the bad element. And that's far from the truth. It's straight racial profiling. Especially when I'm told that I cant be outside rearranging my truck. Or cleaning out my truck. When there was another gentleman doing the same thing and he did tell him the same thing. It's ridiculous. How this world is. I'm just trying to live and take care of my kid. And we are already going through a lot and don't need another person hating on us because the way that we look. But other than that. This is the best place to stay at. And everyone else that works here are excellent and nice. I mean he's nice to everyone else but me and my family. I don't get it I'll ask for the pool to be open and he will tell me that it's closed. And then someone else will ask and he'll open it. But whatever it's still the most cleanest safest place in Merced to stay at. And for the most part. The rest of management is awesome. Sorry Manny. But I wouldn't do any bad at this place and I'm nobody.

ItalyIt is next to the railway for freight trains so can be really loud but what bothered us the most was the most was that we could here every step of the people housing above. It woke us up at 6am and went on for more than 30mins. That was the end of a real short night.
The staff was kind and we could check-in fast. They also gave us some valuable info about Yosemite.
