Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.

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 only thing i would ding the facility on is the mold in the bathroom shower. It's easy to bleach or use some other cleaning agent/strip and re-caulk... For the price and being a recently updated and an otherwise cleanly kept facility, there should be no black mold like that. It was quite a bit in the caulked areas. really recommend that be taken care of. But otherwise, we loved it.
Absolutely loved the location- right on the water. property sits up high so there is a very big view of the lake. We Also loved the look of the lodge - which had a very classic adirondack lodge feel with a giant moose head over a stone fireplace. The front porch was so welcoming and relaxing, and it caught a nice breeze like a wind tunnel. I also really liked that we could check in remotely and had keyless entry (pad with code). Rooms were remodeled and modern yet rustic, so they felt cozy but fresh, with super comfortable beds. We rented a pontoon and had use of the dock, and there is a fenced in area for dogs. Loons on the lake calling at night were the finishing touch!

United StatesThere is not a lot open in the off season.
I have stayed at the Great Pines often in the off season. I continue to come back because I know I'll have a good bed, clean room and fantastic views to enjoy. I really enjoy the pick me up coffee and breakfast items and the casual atmosphere. It is always nice to sit in the great room near the fire place and quietly read or chat with other guests.

We truly enjoyed the view, our room, the Christmas activities in the main lobby and the overall ambiance.

United StatesI'm only doing this part because you asked, and since you did, I noticed a few practical things. They wouldn't dissuade me from staying again. I'm already planning on it. The room is spacious enough for task lighting. One pendant type light over the coffee area and the little breakfast table (super cute). Given how far away the store is, a microwave is almost a necessity, assuming the goal in staying there is to enjoy the lake, the sauna, a bonfire, the peace and quiet - not going to the store or out to eat. I mentioned the restaurant wasn't open (seasonal closure) so we couldn't eat dinner there, but with how I eat I'd likely bring half "home" and would want to heat it up. The bathroom does not have a separate heat source, which is pretty much the only thing I didn't like.
The room was wonderfully spacious, jacuzzi tub in the room, not bathroom. Super cool. The bathroom itself was utilitarian but nice (had black washcloths and ample make up remover, loved that). Fridge, Kurieg and the pods provided were Starbucks Pike Place Market. The breakfast spread in the main building, which is gorgeous, was balanced and had everything I'd excpect but nicer. They had *gingerbread granola yall* AND a lone container of Lucky Charms lol, I couldnt believe it. My daughter (14) has a new favorite place! The bed was was super comfy, tv selection was great (Netflix, Hulu, Disney, noteably), plenty of outlets for chargers and the Alexa said "bye" when we left. The views. <sigh>. This lake and Old Forge are very near and dear to my father's side of the family. Nativity goes back to my great grandfather (Cheyne). It was a significant occasion for us as another Cheyne, my aunt, was visiting also. The fact that it was very much off season, I didn't get to try the restaurant, seasonally closed), it was perfect. It was crisp, clear vibrant yet so comforting and soothing. I couldn't have asked for better.
