We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 StatesI don't know how the city and state allow this place to still be open. My wife and I had planned to stop in Albert Lea for a week. We decided to book one night in this motel and, hopefully, extend our stay. But as soon as we got in, we saw that the floor map, the floor, the walls, the refrigerator... everything was incredibly dirty. I first tried to put my food in the refrigerator, but we saw dust and even dead mosquitoes 🤦🏿♂️, and a dry blood on the wall, as if someone had killed mosquitoes on the wall, there were also scratches on the wall... Oh no! I was disappointed, very disappointed. Luckily, we arrived around 10 p.m. and couldn't wait to leave at 10 a.m. We finally got out in the morning and i booked the rest of my stay to Motel 6 because i stayed there two years ago and it's way better than this one and both motels are almost the same price. But for real, the owner better take care of this place or get out out from motel business instead of creating a nasty environment for people, because someone will ended getting out this place with crazy type of infection.
Nothing! Absolutely nothing.

United StatesThe bed was very comfortable, but the cleanliness of the room was lacking! Obviously nobody sweeps the room! We didn’t step on the floor with bare feet! The area around our room smelled like something dead in the dumpster, VERY close to rooms! Would NOT recommend! Worst place I’ve ever stayed! You asked?…

It checked all of the boxes for amenities even if some were a little worn. There was a blizzard overnight and they were nice about extending the checkout time. Good water pressure in the shower! Good value.

United StatesEverything! It was a waist of my money.
The room was dirty and had a chunk of something with long hair attached on the floor in the sink area. Looked like some one had been scalped! There were blood drops on the floor near it. Really dark around the outside of the room and not much of a lock on the door. Very creepy... I referred to this place as the Bates motel!!!

United StatesNothing to complain about except lack of internet, but a winter storm was raging outside and may have been responsible.
The room was clean with no smoke odor, and the shower provided not only hot water, but a current of warm air from the blower on the ceiling, making it especially comfortable. Bed was comfortable and clean. The room was very quiet all night. Some might complain about the outdated furniture and appearance, but I just wanted a good sleep in a quiet setting, which it provided. Refrigerator kept food cold without freezing it, and the microwave was new, The Green Mill Restaurant provided a good supper and was only minutes away.
