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...).

Location! Location! Location It is inside Yosemite park. It is very private: a separate house. You have a nice deck with an excellent view of the forest The nights are very dark so it is a pleasure to stargaze! it is advertised as one bedroom but you essentially have two private places to sleep: 1. one proper bathroom 2. a loft with two beds which is private enough (not visible to anyone unless they take stairs) It was nice having two bathrooms

United StatesThe upper floor is a gallery and not a room, which we didn’t notice when booking. The bed in the gallery was uncomfortable.
The place is fully equipped and beautifully decorated. We loved the dining area with the huge glass windows. The location is inside the Yosemite park.

United KingdomPerfect location for exploring the park - only a short drive to the valley, glacier point and Mariposa grove. Very well presented home with everything we could have needed from pots and pans, utensils, to big fridge and freezer and washer dryer! We had an amazing experience whilst eating breakfast one morning seeing a mama bear and her cub in the log piles out the back. WiFi was provided via starlink and info provided on the agents app when checking in so don’t miss it!

United StatesCould be a bit cleaner. Patio door was very head to open/close and I believe the handle was broken on the outside. There was no power when we arrived but we called Vacasa and the representative was very helpful. The power came on as he was checking into it and there were no further issues. Parking at the top of the driveway is a little inconvenient, but workable.
Perfect location for exploring all of the Yosemite attractions. Quiet and secluded. Home away from home to make a meal and relax after a long day of hiking.

United StatesYes the overall conditions of the interiors might need some improvement but it's no worse than the lodges in the valley, but it's much hotter down there. The requirement of us taking out the trash is annoying though - we put the trash bag on top of the car and drove slowly for 2-3 miles to get to the bin.
It might be the low reviews I've read about this property but I thought it met most of my expectations - you have the entire house to yourself and it's very spacious. Kitchen has everything we needed. The patio is surrounded by trees and has a tree trunk going through it, which I thought was pretty cool. The lack of AC isn't a problem - it doesn't get too hot up in Yosemite West in the summer and it cools down a lot after sunset. Compared to other much more expensive properties, I thought this wasn't a bad value, especially given the space this one has.

United KingdomIt is a large space although it is a bit tired woth old carpets etc and the shower runs out of hot water very quickly but for a few days stay it does the job well
The location of this cabin is great as it is right in the centre of Yosemite, it is very high up though so much colder than the valley floor. It has everything you need to properly cater for yourself which is needed in this area due to its remoteness.

IndiaDriveway was slippery when it snowed during our checkin time. Also there is absolutely no light to show the house address, had a hard time finding it. Bathroom doesn't have an exhaust system. Mattresses were not comfortable. Trash had to be driven 7 mins away to be dumped, which is kinda insane.
View from the place is pretty nice when snow is around. Kitchen is equipped with most essentials.

United StatesDirections for parking could have been better, like a picture. Knives were dull. Utensils felt cheap. The cleanliness of a lot of the pots and pans was suspect--recommend to clean everything before using, even dining table! Zero cell service, and WiFi was very slow. One of the mattresses could be replaced. Managed by a company. Photos aren't updated, but still fairly accurate.
Exactly the space we needed and only about 40 minutes of a drive to Yosemite Valley. We went in the summer, and there is no A/C, but there were a lot of fans we could use, and the windows opened up fine. Both bathrooms worked fine. Shower was a bit cold, but there is a nice heat lamp in that bathroom. Very nice views, scenic and quiet location. Late check-in (door code). No need for key.

United StatesThe heating unit in the living room is very noisy when turning on, so it may affect those who sleep in the beds on Level 2. This can be avoided using the electrical heater only (we wish such suggestions were made the first night). It is a little difficult to locate the house during our evening arrival, so better signage would be nice. The parking is quite far away (~50 meters) from the house entrance, and it is through some wooden stairs. So it took some time to unload our luggage from the car. There was a snowstorm two days before our arrival, but the snow in the passage was not cleaned well enough. There was a section (~10 meters) with snow up to our knees, adding to the difficulty of unloading luggage. Yosemite west has some sections that might require tire chain in snow conditions, so get prepared.
The house is large, and the furniture and appliances are good. We like the fireplace. The house is quite separated from other houses nearby, so it has good privacy. We like seeing the snow accumulated outside the dining room and the living room door.
