How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewIt was a very nice place for a family with children. I liked that there was a play area, beautiful pond, nice surrounds.
FALSE ADVERTISING ! Again MISS advertising! I booked a room with a living room and sofa bed, a bedroom with two queen beds and a room with two twin beds. What there was, was a big room with the queen beds and a very small room with two short twin beds, no headboards, and only a small table in between the beds. Very sparse. The only sitting was two outdoor metal chairs around a table in the big room. No sofa, certainly no sofa bed, and certainly no living room. I’m not sure what I would have done had we needed the sofa for the two extra beds. To say the least- I was put in a very awkward situation with no privacy for the queen bedroom. It was so uncomfortable to say the least. We were there for a funeral and the added stress of not having what I booked about did me in. Not a bad place, if they hadn’t misrepresented what was available, and then honored that. I felt that they didn’t take ownership of their false advertising and didn’t try to resolve it at all. Totally dismissive. So make sure you know what you are booking with this place. They won’t help you if you have a problem.

Our room wasn’t ready until an hour after our check in time. The room itself is a bit mediocre and nothing special. The parking lot is abysmal and horribly designed.

Room could have used a fly swatter…flies and little flying insects. Dog pee stains on carpet. Balcony could be swept off and table and chairs wiped down.

That said, we're sorry to hear about the cleanliness and maintenance issues you encountered.

Verified reviewLocation was perfect for walking (path starts just outside our door) and close to our morning Starbucks. Scenery was beautiful!
Layout in the room was a little tight. It is an older lodge and designed before king size beds were the norm.
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful scenery and convenient location—having the walking path right outside and Starbucks nearby is definitely a plus. We appreciate your understanding about the room layout; you're absolutely right that our lodge's vintage charm comes with some cozier spaces, especially with the addition of king-size beds. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing stay!
