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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 StatesMy last room did have a cigarette smoke smell and was a little cold.
I really enjoyed the large rooms. Access to Main Street and highway. Hotel staff were very nice and accommodating. I was very late arriving due to winter storm conditions and staff stayed late for my check-in.

United StatesThe large dusy parking lot made you think that the motel wasn't going to be very clean or well maintained, but when you went into the room you were pleasantly surprised. The breakfast wasn't anything special, but with Jody's restaurant next door I didn't care.
The rooms were very large and well laid out. In older motels that are inexpensive you sometimes get tinny rooms, but these rooms were huge. Lots of space to put your stuff, extra chairs to watch TV, etc. The receptionist recommended Jody's restaurant next door and that was a very good tip. For a classicly designed MOTEL this was a surprisingly well done one. It was like a throw back to the 1960's--in a good way.

United StatesIt was a bit dated. The continental breakfast was minimal and most of the fruit they offered appeared to be expired. Bruised apples and hardened tangerine skins.
The room was large and the beds and pillows were very comfortable. The employees were nice and friendly

United StatesThe TV was very weak and the sound was very poor for the size of the room, the breakfast was terrible. The room got really hot because the air conditioners are down for the season but thank goodness it was a fan there or I would have died LOL
The room is large and spacious, the beds were a little stiff, it was very clean the Linens were nice. The shower was lovely the water pressure was very high, the breakfast was really ridiculous though it was like Bagels and milk and packaged GMO cereals it was terrible nothing like all the pictures show. I liked that my pets could stay there with me, and I liked that the floors were wood floors and not carpet cuz carpet gets so dirty so easily. The TV was pretty sketchy very small and the sound was terrible for the size room it was otherwise me I liked it. The price was right the location was great the customer service was really good the girl was lovely and very kind. I would definitely stay here again.

United StatesThe room was dark. When I turned off the lamp on the desk, I discovered it was a 3-way lamp (so that is operator error), but even with turning it to the brightest setting, it was still pretty dark. The furniture and fixtures are very dated, but I knew that from the pictures and other reviews.
The room was nice sized. The bed was comfortable (best one I slept on on a two week trip). The staff person who checked us in was friendly and recommended a restaurant across the parking lot, Jodie's Diner. it was fabulous - an old-fashioned, small town diner with terrific food and reasonable prices. All in all, the motel is a good value for the money if you don't need everything fancy. We will stay again when we go through Evanston.

United StatesI didn't like that they don't offer their continental breakfast until 8am. Most hotels start at 6am. So I can't leave a review of what that's like due to not having the opportunity to try it.
I really loved the big room with 2 king size beds in it, that's rare to find for the great price. We were moving back home to Oregon from Texas and this hotel was our half way point. So a great big room and super comfy beds was awesome. Plus being next door to Jody's Diner was very convenient. Pretty good food, by the way. They sell fresh squeezed water too lol. Easy, friendly check in. I also loved the bathroom area. I really loved the parking space and the safety of the area. We had a regular car that we were able to park right in front of our room and our pickup truck towing a trailer was able to be parked along the fence in front of our room. There's cameras all around the property. We had stuff in the back of our truck as well, and nothing was stolen. A friend that lives in Evanston, came to visit us for a bit and said thank God you're staying here and not across the street at Evanston Inn because that one is drug infested and disgusting. I'm glad I went with Prairie Inn. I would definitely stay again.
