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 AmericaWhen I asked for Wi Fi I was told there was no wi fi. It was down. I honestly would not have chosen your hotel if I knew you didn’t have wi fi. The coffee at breakfast was Luke warm. I like Dunkin’ Donuts coffee better anyway My desk chair was particularly dirty.
My bed was comfortable, breakfast was good, staff was awesome. Good hot showers, heat lamp in the barhroom.

United States of AmericaThere is no "marina" anymore because all of the docks were disassembled and stacked nearby on the ground. The name marina is misleading. The entire facility looked dated and in need of being refreshed. Bed was too firm. The curtain for the shower was hung too low. The bathroom was too small. The ceiling fan cover in the bathroom was in pieces on the floor, and the fan was way too noisy to use. The air conditioner outlet constantly blew into the backside of the window curtain, causing the movement of the air to be impeded and the curtain to constantly billow upwards. The drink vending machine on the fourth floor was not properly stocked, and the wrong product was dispensed. It would not accept touchfree payment. I was not allowed a refund at the front desk for the improperly dispensed drink from the vending machine. They told me to call the number on the label affixed to the exterior of the machine. I did, and nobody answered. At times, the interior of the elevator smells like a fish.

United States of AmericaThe dog-friendly room decor is somewhat dated and dreary but clean. It's probably by design as the wear and tear of canine guests is less noticeable. The dog-free rooms may be more cheerful and attractive.
The most attractive features of this hotel are that it's very dog friendly and within a short drive of the historic downtown of New Bern. It offers a water view and a large grassy area for dog walking.

United States of AmericaThis was our 3rd or 4th stay en route to Emerald Isle, and we really like the convenient location on the water, an easy walk into town. There are multiple outdoor areas, including a pool; they allow dogs; and it’s pretty easy to park a loaded car right outside your room. The breakfast is fine — though they really need to catch up with the times on coffee: Who uses powdered creamer these days?? — and our 4th floor king room was quite comfortable. Our kids’ first-floor room had many flying bugs and a bit of that dank smell that also permeates the lobby and the stairwells. The room itself was also in worse shape (though to be fair it was a pet room). Nonetheless, the sheets were clean and they slept well. Overall, the hotel is kind of what you expect for a budget hotel. The problem is they don’t charge budget prices anymore. We paid $150 for the king and $190 for the pet room. At that rate, we’ll be checking out the options across the river right in town.

United States of AmericaThe price for similar room dropped by 25% few days before our stay. Since we just needed a place to park ourselves overnight, it was irritating to pay the higher rate.
Close to the airport for early flight. Attractive grounds, clean.

United States of AmericaBreakfast was a little bit of a disappointment. They use powdered eggs which are not the best tasting. My partner wanted pancakes but they only had waffle makers, maybe have 1pancake and 1 waffle maker. The only fruit available were bananas. Overall breakfast wasn't the best but it was just "ok".
I needed a handicap accessible restroom and it was large and roomy to accommodate my wheelchair. The bed was comfortable and we had a view of the water.

United States of Americathe hotel is being remodeled, not sure if our room already has been; but the bathroom needs a makeover. the room also was not clean, found empty soda can on floor and carpet needed to be vacuumed, probably why they missed the empty soda can. the tv was pathetic with the poor picture quality, seriously it was blurry. tvs are so cheap at least upgrade to 720! I normally don't care about tv but it was the hockey playoff game. go canes!!
