How guest reviews work
Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Verified reviewVery affordable, but you should expect to get what you pay for. The location was convenient to main roads for travel and restaurants.
After reading review comments I was expecting to stay in one of the "remodeled" rooms commentors spoke of. I guess I was unfortunate in being assigned to a room (#40) that really needed to be remodeled as well as that smelled of smoke and/or musty odors.
Thank you for choosing The Gateway Inn for your stay. We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the dissatisfaction caused by the room assignment. We are constantly working to upgrade our accommodations and will address the concerns you raised. We're pleased you found our location convenient and pricing affordable. Your comments help us improve, and we hope to welcome you back for a better experience in the future.

Verified reviewThe location was convenient. The room was a remodeled one. The bed was comfortable.
The room smelled a little musty when I first walked in. There was no phone in the room. The shower liner needed to be cleaned better or replaced. There was no shelf in the shower to put toiletries.

New lock was tricky and had to be locked manually when leaving the room.

Verified reviewConvenient location just off interstate. But makes it very noisy running right along highway. Ok for one night wouldnt stay longer. Big room, comfortable bed but definitely shows its age. Desk lady was very nice.
Needs lots of updating and regular maintenance. Noise is a real problem. AC was old and noisy.

Verified reviewThe staff is friendly and clearly take pride in their property. It's obviously an older property, as it's one of the old motels, but they've done a lovely job renovating the rooms and they are clean and cozily-appointed. If you're looking for something that's clean and quiet with friendly staff while also being no-frills/budget-friendly, this is definitely the place. We'll be back for sure!
