Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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 StatesThe internet could be better in terms of reliability.
This hotel is currently being renovated. The updated rooms are great, the rooms still in progress are what you would expect from an older hotel. Regardless, you can't beat the price for a historic hotel stay! The breakfast is a home cooked meal, it was fantastic. The internet is spotty and unreliable. But the location is centered in Historic Downtown Sonora, which is great for walkable food and shopping options.

United StatesWALKWAYS were a little rough.
The room was bigger and nicer than expected. The manager set out breakfast a little early since we we needed to leave early. No to go cups was a slight problem. Had to stop at a gas station for coffee. The bed wS very comfortable, I don't remember falling asleep.

ColombiaThe entire place needs some TLC. We really wanted to use the huge pool, but it was so dirty. We never saw anyone clean it. Our bathroom wasn't properly deep cleaned. We found some hairs that weren't ours. We wished the room had a fridge at least. The TV wasn't working but we didn't need to use it.
We love old buildings, so we found this place unique in terms of layout and structure. Lots of parking, easy key drop at any time, and a lovely breakfast room with lots of food options. They had a public microwave and ice machine for guests to use, which was really nice. The rooms have heating and air conditioning, which is great! The staff was very friendly. The location is safe and near downtown, and some great bar/ restaurant walking distance.

United StatesThe young person who checked me in did not get off the phone during my entire check in time while I was in the lobby. Consequently they were unable to tell me about breakfast, where the room is, etc. In fact, she didn’t address me at all, except to put her hand out for the credit card and identification. A real turn off. Luckily I had stayed here recently, so knew the layout. Customer service is really important, and there really isn’t any reason for a private phone call to be more important during check in, than your guests.
I appreciate the location and it’s very centrally located for downtown Sonora

United StatesThere is parking behind the hotel with easy access to third-story rooms, but it’s up a STEEP drive. Rooms (and hotel itself) are charmingly decorated but a bit frayed around the edges. Communication difficulties with staff.
This is a quirky, kind of bohemian place that is definitely NOT for the mobility-impaired. Excellent breakfast. Pool looked nice. Off-street gravel parking lot to right of hotel (opposite office).

United StatesCheck in could have been better. Had the wake the night manager (it was late). Would have been better to have a key in the envelope or a key code on door.
Breakfast was the best part. The food was all home made (baked eggs, brown bread). Even the bread and jelly were better quality than most hotels

United StatesGrowing up in this town and spending time at this property years ago, it seems really run down. The shower head was broken in our room, and whoever stayed in my room prior (or maybe housekeeping?) has thrown out soap, shampoo and conditioner bottles and trash out of the bathroom window onto the roof. We opted to go out for breakfast after seeing things float around in the water container and the buffet was extremely bare. We loved the pool, but really hated that staff sits out there every morning smoking and leaving their cigarette butts in the planter (which really stinks)!!! I fixed the shower head- and was hoping to explain this to staff, but when I went to check out- there was no one at the front desk. I waited for a moment, but left once I heard some people arguing. I know the history behind this place- so it was sad to see what it’s become. Loved the pool- but it needs an enormous upgrade and cleaning.
Great location and has wonderful charm. Absolutely love the pool and the beds were incredibly comfortable.
