Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

The location is awesome,it's a unique motel build in 1937ish and is charming. The room was comfortable.

United States of AmericaThe AC unit was in one room, so if it was hot out, then it might be hard to keep the entire unit cool. They use "real" keys, which as an extra thing to keep track of. Neither was horrible.
Great location and room set-up for a group or people who can use their own space. We had two bedrooms, each with their own TV and the bathing facilities in the middle. Staff was nice, delivered bfast options to the room, and the room itself have good amenities. Within walking distance of a grocery store and downtown. I'd highly recommend.

CanadaThe Custer Chalet Motel is an excellent stop for the night and was a very welcome change for my wife and I who had spent the previous few nights in traditional hotels. Each chalet feels very private and had everything we needed. The staff were all very friendly and it was easy to see they cared deeply about the facility and the guests, we felt extremely welcome during our visit. We also appreciated the location of the motel, you are mere blocks away from the main streets of Custer so dining options were abundant. We would highly recommend staying here if you are in the area!

United States of AmericaThe only downside was the small bathroom but not a deal breaker. For extended stays a microwave would be nice.
We really enjoyed our stay here. This was a very convenient location. I liked the separate cabins. It really cut down on hearing other guests. Very friendly staff!

CanadaHot water was slow in coming - had to run the water awhile but not a big deal! (other than wasting water). Would have liked to have a key drop off at the reception area.
Dog friendly. Clean rooms. Receptionist was helpful and friendly. Internet included. Easy parking. Quiet location. Easy walking distance to the main strip.

United States of AmericaWe were put in a back unit and I couldn’t walk around the bed, I had to crawl in the bottom of bed. When one has to get up in middle of night , this presents a challenge. Just something to keep in mind when putting elderly people in those units.
Chalets we’re charming and location was sweet for us.staff was knowledgeable in helping us getting around area. We were in area for Buffalo round up and to explore the black hills

CanadaNot really anything to say here. The motel was as advertised. The breakfast was a simple grab and go but had whatever one would need.
The staff was wonderful. Although old the motel has been well maintained and is very cute. The room was clean and comfortable. The location is perfect for exploring the town of Custer and the area.
