Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. 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 StatesThe location is very beautiful. Most rooms have excellent views of the surrounding mountains. It's a bit far away from the nearest grocery store, but it really beats the expensive hotels in nearby Grand Marais. Pool and hot-tub facilities are excellent, and are open all the way up to 11pm (for adults). Rooms have all the amenities.

United StatesI loved it here. Some minor things but nothing worth complaining about. I’d just recommend updating to firmer pillows and perhaps some more fresh smelling cleaning products but they will cost more.
I’m not gonna poo poo on the place cause it’s busy and it’s gotta be tough keeping all the rooms looking perfect. My room could use some updates and refreshing but it definitely met my needs. It was clean, lots of towels. TV, coffee maker, microwave and all the electrical stuff such as ventilation fans all worked. The room smelled of a citrusy cleaner which wasn’t horrible but was a tad overwhelming at first but an hour of having the windows open and it was all good. Bed isn’t bad, clean sheets. Pillows are very smushy and smaller size so I would recommend updating to memory foam if possible. Again, not putting the place down. These are just small things I noticed. Shower was great, quiet rooms for the most part. Couch and tv room chair weren’t in great shape but served their purpose. I was in room 284 and you get what you pay for. If you’re looking for a home base so you can go out all day hike, eat and see the sights, this place is perfect. If you are just hanging in the room, you will find some minor flaws, nothing bad or big, they are minor details. Perfect for kids. The view of the mountains are spectacular. I enjoyed my stay, front desk kid was a nice fella and was helpful. I’d say 4 stars out of 5 from my experience alone. I hiked oberg mountain loop which is only a 10 minute drive back towards Tofte and it was great! Scenic overlooks galore. Oberg is a great hike!!! Grand Marais is about 20 minutes north up 61 so if you want to shop, eat, get coffee and look at some beautiful scenery I’d recommend cruising up the shore and visit the lively little lake town, it really is fun there. Great area !

United StatesI came up here to ride the "Jackpot/High climber Trail." I was confused with Cook County's map of the trail (on how to get to it, exactly). I asked the staff all throughout the Lodge how to get to "Highclimber." No one knew anything about the area. It had rained the day I arrived, so I was doubtful about being able to ride the trail (being it so wet). As an option, I thought I could at least ride on the "Gitchi Gama Trail." When I went to get info about, GG, again, no one knew anything. I found out on my own that I can get on the GG right off of Ski Hill Trail and there's parking access there also, if I don't want to ride down the hill from the Lodge to get to it. I wasted half my day just trying to find out where things are because no one at the Lodge knows anything about the area.

United StatesThe bed slept like a taco for my husband and I. We are not very big people so it was obvious that it was a old bed. Room #212. ( the bed in front of the tv was more uncomfortable than the other one). The pillows need an upgrade too. It had rained a lot the night before and we could tell the floor was very damp. I couldn't wear socks, they would get soaked.
