How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewTheme is well carried out throughout all areas, and is super cute - loved the lights, decor, lamps, etc.
Carpet was disgusting - bleach spots and dirty. Walls were scuffed and in need of a dire scrub.

Verified reviewAll of the community spaces were excellent for our group - spacious too. Location was perfect. Loved the happy hours - great selections and prices. All the staff were courteous, gracious, and friendly.
Updates to the rooms would be great - it's an older motel. Priority - bathroom updates (toilets were new!), new carpet, and better lighting. The fitness room needs attention - towels, water, mats, and one of the peloton bike seats needed to be fixed, as well as the screen. We also couldn't figure out how to log into peloton. It's pricey for an older motel.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed our amazing staff and the community spaces we offer. It’s great to know that the location and happy hours added to your experience. We strive to provide a welcoming atmosphere, and your kind words about our staff mean a lot to us.

Verified reviewThe location was great for our purpose: touring UC Boulder and walking to dinner nearby.
The rooms are extremely run down. The first one we were given (108) had a truly awful smell, like insecticide, likely from deodorizing efforts masking past issues. It also was extraordinarily humid - sheets, everything was damp in minutes. The carpet was stained and ragged. The wallpaper was peeling, the edges of the walls were chipped. I’m usually willing to deal with minor inconveniences, but this was too much. We asked to switch rooms, and to their credit, the staff made it work, despite the hotel being sold out and the fact that my son had already used the bed. We really appreciated it. The second room (109) was not much better, but the smell was less, and it was less humid. Also slightly less careworn. However, the air conditioner would not actually turn off when in the off position, so we unplugged it. This stopped the smell (it resumed when we plugged it back in.) By morning, condensation from the unit had soaked the carpet (we alerted the staff), so the unit needs to be replaced. The staff was very kind and gave us drink tokens for the trouble, which was a nice touch. I would have liked to use them for coffee in the morning, but the cafe didn’t open until 8 - too late for us and a surprising choice for a hotel that caters to outdoorsy types who will undoubtedly be looking to get an early start. We were too tired after a red eye/long next day to use the other hotel amenities, which were a big part of my reason for booking this hotel. Too bad, because they seemed really nice and fun. All told, we were disappointed to pay a premium price for a decidedly run-down stay. I know that proximity to the campus entitles Boulder Basecamp to charge top dollar, but we definitely didn’t get what we paid for. Terrific staff, but you’d have to invest a lot in the rooms — the same level of investment you’ve made on the shared spaces and marketing — to get me to do anything but actively recommend anyone else stay elsewhere.

Verified reviewLocation. Easy to walk to Pearl Street mall and university campus.
It 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.

If the hotel is full, parking is difficult. The parking lot is tight.
