Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomOn arrival the reception clerk was perfunctory. I asked for directions to the airport, for next day's airshow, and the Clerk claimed not to know where the airport is in Salinas. My room was clean and well maintained but I did not like finding a cannabis grinder on the floor beneath the bed ( I was stooping to recoved something I had dropped.) Breakfast choice was minimal.
It is what it is - a clean affordable chain motel.

New ZealandNothing really. A solid place! Highly recommended.
The place was functional but really quite nice. The breakfast was more than adequate and the coffee was better than just drinkable. A good place to stay. Would easily recommend this place to anyone who wants to visit Monterey or Carmel but doesn't want to pay their prices or cannot find anything suitable.

United StatesPoolside has BLACK LAWNCHAIRS that burn your skin when you go to use them. You folks could not have made the pool more unusable than by providing chairs one can't comfortably sit on. And in the evening a family was permitted at the pool each night with a noisy boom box blasting music FOR HOURS. It defeats the purpose of restful lodging when you permit that kind of racket going on. I will not use this motel again.
Very accessible.

United StatesWhile the location right off the 101 Freeway in Salinas, CA was ideal for making quick travel connections to the work destination I was headed to (Laguna Seca Raceway), there was a fair amount of freeway and street noise. The price for my one-night stay was also quite high as this motel, like almost all travel-related businesses in the area, raises its rates during big event dates.
When I opened the door to my room I was very surprised to find a tastefully designed decor and a very clean and tidy room. The bathroom was shiny-clean, the bed was comfortable and everything functioned properly. Front desk clerk was friendly and helpful.
