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.).

Some of the food but overall it was still really good just that they had a few options because I think they had a fire in the kitchen.
Dear Charco, Thank you so much for your fantastic review and perfect rating! We're delighted that our team and the view from the restaurant made such a strong impression—it’s always wonderful to hear when those special touches shine through. We truly appreciate your understanding regarding the limited menu. You're absolutely right—due to an unexpected kitchen incident, we had to temporarily scale back our offerings. We're grateful for your patience and thrilled that you still enjoyed your meal overall. Your kindness and flexibility mean a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you back soon with a fully restored menu and the same great service and views. Warm regards, Management

Ugh...room was filthy. Nothing was clean and looked like it had berries that way a while, peeling paint, damage to walls, yellow substance on bathroom floor (yuck) finger prints all over glass and mirrors. Live spider web above vanity. dirty carpet. If it wasn't so late when I checked in, I would have left.
Dear Cynthia, Thank you for sharing your feedback, even though we're truly sorry to hear about your experience. What you described is far below the standards we strive to uphold, and we deeply regret that your room was not presented in a clean and welcoming condition. Your comments about the cleanliness, visible damage, and overall state of the room are extremely concerning. We take this seriously and are already investigating what went wrong during your stay. This is not the impression we want to leave, and we sincerely apologize for the discomfort and frustration it caused. If you're open to it, we’d appreciate the opportunity to speak with you directly so we can make things right and ensure this doesn’t happen again. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and we hope you’ll give us a chance to restore your trust. Warm regards, Hotel Management

Verified reviewAdequate, if dated. Quite comfortable. Very quiet, eerily so. Like “The Shining”, but more staff, and did see one or two other guests. Staff friendly.
No coffee in room, though lobby coffee decent. No free breakfast included. Standing room only balcony. “View” is mostly trees and blue tarps of marina/docks.
Dear Grant, Thank you for sharing your thoughtful impressions with us. We're pleased to hear that you found your stay comfortable and quiet, and that our team made a positive impression with their friendliness. We appreciate your feedback regarding the in-room coffee and breakfast offerings. While we currently provide complimentary coffee in the lobby, we understand the convenience of having it in-room and will take your comments into consideration as we look to enhance guest amenities. Regarding the balcony and view, thank you for your honest observation. While the setting offers a natural, marina-adjacent backdrop, we recognize that it may not be the scenic highlight some guests are hoping for. Your perspective helps us better understand how we can improve the overall experience. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another stay—perhaps with a few more modern touches and a view that inspires. Warm regards, Madeline

Verified reviewPrivate beach is cool. River view is also very nice. Little balcony is so cute.
The jacuzzi was under construction or not working and covered. The pool was freezing cold. My family got yelled at by another guest who seemed like they were very much under the influence of drugs, well possibly another guest - they didn’t have a key card and someone else had let them into a common area.
Dear Kaitlin, We always want our guests to have a well-rounded experience, so while we are glad our private beach and breathtaking views pleased you, we are sorry to hear that certain aspects of your stay were less than ideal. Your feedback provides valuable insights into where we can enhance our guests' experience, so rest assured, we have noted all of your constructive comments to help us improve. It would be our pleasure to host you for a better visit, and we hope you'll choose to come back and see us when you're in Post Falls.
