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 AmericaElla, who worked the desk, helped me change the date of our reservation and she went above and beyond to make sure everything was right. Loved the retro vibe of the place (hence the name!). They even had a game room and laundry facilities and a nice little courtyard with comfy patio furniture for enjoying the nice weather. The breakfast was great and, again, cool retro booths and serving pieces.

United States of AmericaWould have liked the breakfast to have been available a bit earlier. As a morning person I like to get up and eat and get going.
The room was very clean, the bed comfortable and the decor was funky retro. We loved the room, and the vibe was fun in throughout the motel property. We really appreciated having a coffee maker, microwave and refrigerator in the room. The Continental breakfast was also appreciated.

We stayed here on our way to New Mexico and loved everything about it, so we decided to return home the same route and stay here again. Stayed in a different fun room this time. I love the retro theme!

The rooms are fun, themed after years during the 50s and 60s. Very comfortable, clean, and roomy. The breakfast was okay, just continental with a few more choices than usual.

United States of AmericaCan't think of anything we didn't like.
We love the retro theme of the motel. It is so cute and comfortable. Each room is numbered a year starting with 1950 and then the room has been decorated with pictures of important events or people from that year. The first time we stayed in room 1952 with pictures of a boxer (I can't remember his name). This time we stayed in room 1986 with pictures from Top Gun. We travel through Cortez often and this is now where we stay each time. The property has lawns with chairs, tables, swings, a big chess board, a ping pong table, an outside grill, etc. It makes you want to be outside as much as possible.

United KingdomCouldn’t get wifi in the room.
The decor is very old fashioned and needs updating😉 Joking besides, the retro fixtures and fittings make this a really fun place to stay; nostalgic even for those who remember it all first time around. Retro for sure, but everything is clean and tidy and works perfectly, with the exception, ironically, of the wifi! All in all though, a gem of a find, and highly recommended.

United States of AmericaThe young woman that checked us in when we arrived in the evening was a bit rude and condescending. After a long day of travel, we did not feel very welcome.
The room was very clean and decorated well. The bathroom was large with a good shower. Bed was comfortable and there were plenty of pillows. The breakfast had several options, and while we were not traveling with children, it seems like they had plenty of kid friendly breakfast options. The lady working the morning shift was pleasant and friendly and was taking great care of the breakfast area. Lots of outdoor seating options.

United States of AmericaNothing really. The physical layout is set back from main road giving some quiet, but requires learning to navigate your way around. No problem.
Mid-century motel with parking outside each room. They even created lines between each space so doors could be opened without hitting car next to you. Old style outdoor chairs in front give it a definite “retro” feel. Inside is very spacious both depth and width. Very comfortable bed, good shower head and counter space. The theme of the rooms are designed around their number (I was in 1977 with Bee Gee and John Travolta disco pictures). They also use old fashioned room keys. Very creative, yet subtle and tasteful.
