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 needs a lot of work. Our room door would not lock. Staff fixed it quickly. We stayed in a “suite “ had styrofoam cups, broken coffee maker and only decaffeinated coffee.
The staff was excellent and location was great.

United StatesPretty much everything else. Nothing was clean, not much was comfortable. Supposed to have a phone in the room and it didn't. That was no deal at all, except I didn't want to get accused of taking the phone. Got to checking for what else might be missing and there was no smoke detector. I spoke to front desk and was told "Oh, we have them, they just haven't been put up yet". I'm pretty sure the fire Marshall would frown on them renting rooms without smoke detector, even if they did "have some in the office". The milk for the cereal was clabbered, the coffee was cold. Was told they were going to remodel "sometime in 2026". We won't be going back to see if they do or not.
It is in Helen and next door to one of Helen's best restaurants, Bigg Daddy's

United StatesThe room smelled of mildew. The ceiling in the bathroom leaked, carpets had not been vacuumed in who knows how long. Tub was dirty, the beds looked like a 4 year old made them. Overall I would not stay there again major updates are needed. I paid 580 dollars for 3 nights I felt for that amount of money the room should Have been In Much better shape.
Location was perfect. The staff was friendly. I think they are short of staff though. At least I hope that’s the case due to the hotel conditions

United StatesThe carpet was so bad you could not walk on it, please know I am not picky but like a certain level of cleanliness. We had a hot tub but it was so afraid of the cleanliness that it was not used even after I went and bought Clorox cleaner, the towels were stained with what appeared to be mold spots. The toilet appeared to have been cleaned with some chemical that ate off the finish inside the toilet. These are items that the owners must be aware of. Again the staff and maintenance man and staff were kind and understanding.
The staff tried their best to help make the room better, I believe the age of the hotel has a lot to do with the problems. The maintenance man and staff were trying their best to help make things right but it was very deep down dirty. It was a good size room and very quiet and felt private. Great location.

United StatesThe carpets were very grimy/dirty feeling. I paid for my room before I ever got there, but was still charged almost the entire stay of my room again when I put down the security deposit. Thankfully the lady I spoke to after was able to reverse the charge and I got that money back, but I did ask the gentleman before he ran the card to make sure I wasn’t getting charged again for the stay. I have received the refund, we haven’t received our security deposit back yet, so I will update once I get that back.
The location was the best thing about this hotel. It was close to so much. We went to see the snow, and we were able to walk to the little park behind the hotel or the gas station across the street for things we needed. The beds were pretty comfortable. All the employees I came into contact with were very nice and helped with whatever questions I had. The breakfast was fine. The kids enjoyed cereal, but there was no milk the first day. We had our own so that was fine.
