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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

United StatesWe had a little issue with the sink, but it was addressed and repaired within 30 minutes. So really no complaint.
We loved the friendly atmosphere as well as the location on the river. Pet friendly plenty of room for dog to play and enjoy the river on leash. Watching the tubers from the swings and meeting new friends was entertaining as well as relaxing. Breakfast and coffee was also a plus. Not having to rush out. Ms. Laurie and the entire staff was kind and uplifting as well. It was a little walk to places but so worth the relaxation.

United StatesWe really loved everything- the only suggestion we can think of is maybe a walking path(like a mulched walkway) from the cabins to the parking lot for breakfast so you aren’t walking through wet grass.
This property’s location can’t be beat. Right along the river and easy walk to downtown Helen.

United StatesEverything was wonderful; nothing bad to say at all. Goodness, I don't have anything bad to say. We like everything about the place, especally the price. You can actually bring you family here and you pup without breaking your bank account.
Location was awesome, we could walk to everything and the motel was right on the water; it was so nice and they had swings you could sit on and watch people go tubing and fishing. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. We had a wonderful time.

United StatesI wish coffee was available throughout the whole day.
Love that it was right on the river, I had nice porch swings on the side for you to be able to sit and watch and enjoy the tubers coming down the river. Great location for walking to get to the shops. It was really nice check out was 11 but you were allowed to stay parked at the hotel until midnight without having to go find somewhere to park to enjoy walking through the town before leaving. Room was really clean and updated. Had plenty of channels to watch on TV after spending the evening in town.

United StatesWe could hear the people in the room above us walking around & at times it was very annoying. We could also hear the vehicles in the parking lot & the motors (& motorcycles) being revved up was not pleasant 1st thing in the morning.
The location was perfect, in the middle of everything & right on the river, so it still felt secluded. Comfy bed. The staff was nice & helpful. The room was clean & spacious (it had a musty smell when we 1st arrived, probably because it was right next to the river, but we lit a scented candle & that helped)
