We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

United StatesThat we couldn't stay longer.
Our family's stay at the cabins will be one to remember: comfortable beds, hot showers, thoughtful touches, and an incredible staff. Conveniently located off the beaten path but within a 15 minute walk of the small town of McCarthy, the cabins' proximity to the Kennecott Mine and Root Glacier were fantastic, including the easy shuttle to go to and from. The cabins even offer day use rentals of crampons to explore the glacier! Coordination with the cabin staff was seamless; they were all so hospitable! We particularly appreciated all the recommendations from Mary. :)

United StatesLocation was tough but No fault of the property- they gave great directions! McCarthy is tough in the dark with all the trails and roads intersecting if you don’t have a four wheeler. This was my fault though bc we got in so late! I recommend future stayers look at maps prior to losing phone service and trying to find your way boozed up in the dark in bear country. Again all my fault! Otherwise amazing 10/10
Sooo adorable and friendly staff! Loved these cabins so much!! 10/10 recommend

United StatesNot sure there was much that couldn't been done differently but you do need to get picked up from the staff when you arrive as your car cannot enter the town. That is fine, it's a 20 minute wait. For us there was another group that arrived slightly before us which meant our wait to get to the cabins was about 45 minutes after a long drive, which was less than ideal. But not sure what they can do about that.
The cabin itself was very cozy, had a great supply of kitchen basics, the shower was warm, the outhouse was fine, and it was a nice spot to be. It was easy to access everything via the shuttle that runs down the street and the bed was super comfortable. The staff were nice.

United StatesThe bathroom needs a door, an outhouse is fine, however, just a bug screen doesn’t give you privacy from the other tenants.
The cabins had a full kitchen set for pots and pans with a community grill. It was an epic escape from the mosquitos. The fire pit was super cute, and the showers were not “timed” so you could warm up, or cool off as long as you wanted. Also working with Livvy was an awesome experience as she made all of us feel extremely welcomed to her little cabin town.

EstoniaNote the toilet is an outhouse. Shower close to cabin, it was very ok with hot water etc. Wifi is only at reception. Walk to village is 15-20 minutes. There is a bus stop close. No fridge, power outlet is only USB. It was all good as the cabin itself is high standard.
It's a very nice cabin in the forest. There is plenty of space, good beds. Place to eat is Potato, highly recommended.

United StatesEverything was great - thank you for allowing our family to make great memories
Perfect location for those visiting Kennecott (short shuttle ride away!) and cabins sit in a beautiful set up. Very hospitable owners - great communication from planning the trip to arrival and during our stay. Cabin is very cute and owners have thought of every detail - beds linens are of good quality and very clean. Mattress is very comfortable. Potable water, sink, stove and coffee pot inside cabin. Outhouse and hot showers a few feet away!

United StatesNo electricity, or electric outlets. Solar power (?) powered two weak light bulbs. Could not get the propane heater to work and no way to contact hosts since our cell phones did not work there. Outhouse was small and crampt.
The cabins were quaint and new. The shuttle picked us up and delivered us to the footbridge
