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 Arab EmiratesOne thing: The refrigerator was noisy, so we had to take the power off and bring your water with us!
The location is excellent, the staff is friendly, and they called us when we forgot and left some stuff. They were nice enough to keep it for us and return it. Overall, everything was good enough for our task-oriented travel and the value we paid, and we certainly would like to go back again.

FranceThe best way to describe the Avenue Inn Downtown District is that it is a former Travelodge that has been painted, has new basic furniture. and is quiet.
It was an excellent value. The location is very good -- access to downtown SLO. The staff was very courteous and accommodating. I have stayed here previously and would stay again.

United StatesDo not bring your pet or you will be charged a large amount of money. We made the mistake of bringing our dog and were charged for it afterward. They aren't even allowed ON the property, so don't even think about staying there and having your dog sleep in the car. I'm sure there were signs posted in the lobby during check in but I didn't see them and the person checking us in didn't mention it, so I didn't think about it until after we checked out. Once we left, I received a call claiming they "found dog hair in our room" and that they were going to charge us for it. That's fine, I just wish I had read the fine print on the contract first. And I wish the property details during reservation were more explicit about their no pet policy.
Location is very close to downtown (one block away to the main drag). Room was very clean. Easy checkin. Parking available. We usually stay here when we're in town because of these aspects. And the price is great!

AustriaVery small rooms. Clean room, but I had to scrub the shower myself as I made that mistake of touching the walls with my knee. No one had clean/scrubbed that oatmeal colored granite for God knows how long. Basically a decent place right in town, and the price point is not a wallet breaker...
Very central location. Reasonable price, in a difficult neighborhood of a difficult to afford town. Parking right on site – old-school!

United StatesIt’s an enter from the outside motel. No big deal really. The shower is painfully small and there is no exhaust fan in the bathroom. There is also no sink in the bathroom. It’s in a different room, part of the kitchen area. I was separately charged a $100 deposit which has not yet been returned. I have never been charged a deposit up front for a motel room before. I took a video of the condition of the room when I left. If I have to go to the bank for a resolution I’m disputing the entire charge.
The property is clearly very clean and well maintained.

United StatesParking was limited and we had to park behind the building which, as a female, was a bit nerve wracking.
It was literally a part of DT SLO so it was really nice to be a part of that vibe while we were staying there. Obviously an older building but well maintained and in good shape.
