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 use a weighted review system which means that 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 StatesIt felt a little sketchy with other hotel guests in their cars (2 different ones) running their engines for an hour plus like they were waiting for something or someone. Also the bathroom and carpeting were pretty trashed. It felt like a Motel 6 or some other cheaper option for the money we spent.
Location. Easy to walk to Pearl Street mall and university campus.

United StatesIf the hotel is full, parking is difficult. The parking lot is tight.
The property is super cute. It’s an updated motel but done very well. The staff was excellent, location is amazing and the common areas were nice. I would stay there again.

United StatesThere is no in-room fridge and microwave, but there is a microwave in the bar area and coolers/ice provided so this wasn’t an inconvenience for me. Some better breakfast and healthier snack options could be nice - currently just things like oatmeal packets and granola bars available for purchase.
This place has upscale motel vibes with fun amenities like a bouldering wall, lounge with games and ping-pong, fire pits and s’more’s, sauna and hot tub, and on-site bar. I appreciated the outdoorsy decor and pour-over in-room coffee provided. There is a burger shack right next door, and the location is centrally walkable to the university campus, Pearl St and 28th St shops. Very friendly and helpful staff too!

United StatesVery friendly helpful staff offset the number of mechanical problems that beset our room. The front door, when locked, could still be wiggled in and out a bit, which was a bit disconcerting. Our e-keys stopped working twice during our stay, and the whole door locking system was removed and reset into the door for our keys to work again both times. The shower was not tightly plumbed and could not be turned completely off. The toilet was not solidly anchored to the floor, and clanked back and forth when we sat on it. We loved the basecamp vibe, but would still like a mini-fridge and microwave, which we missed (a little bit), and did not think they would detract from your unique hotel concept. Loved the pingpong table!! But all the balls were cracked and the paddles are really beat up. Still, YAY! A pingpong table!!
We greatly appreciated how friendly and helpful the staff were. This was our first time staying here and we are rooting you on as you continue to tweak the place to make it better. We definitely felt the great efforts made, from the helpful staff to the great hotel concept. We loved the basecamp vibe, and the public spaces were lovely, and YAY! A pingpong table!! We also appreciated the reasonable pricing.
