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.).

Verified reviewRooms nice
Hotel is not good value for money. We paid $500 per night for a twin room. The bar and restaurant close early. You pay extra charges for things that should be included with the room. Parking is over- regulated. We were not able to get laundry done.

Verified reviewThe views and the room were spectacular. Also they had every amenity you could possibly need. From a keurig to a roomy fridge to a hairdryer and good quality shampoo and body wash. Our beds were very comfortable and the pillows weren't flat. The bunk bed feature was a hit with our 2 boys. It was nice to have 2 pools to choose from, an outdoor and indoor. Also the steam room and sauna were nice. The gym room was adequately stocked with your run of the mill equipment. I was surprised that they had a yoga/peleton bike room also. It was very convenient to have a restaurant on site. We never visited, so I can't say how good the food or service is there. The staff at the check-in desk were very helpful and friendly. Our family would love to come back to visit this hotel again.
Nothing was wrong with our stay.
Dasha, what a joy to read your words. Knowing that Riverhouse became a place where your family could relax, play, and feel at home truly means the world to us. From the bunk bed adventures to the calm of the river and the warmth of our team, we’re so glad your stay felt exceptional. We’ll be here, by the water’s edge, ready to welcome you and your boys back whenever you’re ready for another Bend escape.

Verified reviewThe bunk room was a lot of fun for the kids and I. Both the upper beds and lower beds felt like a fort type scenario. The TV didn’t have a working Internet connection so when I thought I’d lost the kids to Netflix, it failed. Yay! We read books and played games instead. The staff was super accommodating and offered toys for my pup. There was plenty of room for his kennel in the room. The bathroom amenities were nice and the choice of 2 pools was amazing. The sauna worked! The steam room worked! Because it is family-friendly, my kids had other kids to play with in the pool and that was so nice for all of us. Things were well- lit at night.
The sliding door to the balcony was a bit too heavy for the kids to open. Not a big deal.
We’re so glad Riverhouse felt like a getaway for the whole family, Nicholas. It makes us smile to hear the bunks turned into forts, the pools were full of laughter, and even your pup felt at home. Thank you for letting us be part of those moments, and we look forward to seeing you back soon.

Verified reviewGorgeous outside views of the river. Great food.
No lights when eating on the patio we couldn’t see our food in the dark. Room is tired looking but clean. Front desk staff need to improve their attention to people checking in, greeting them properly even if they are busy. First impressions are everything. Second stay we had a parking lot view that wasn’t great.

Verified reviewExcellent location, and the fire pit was amazing. A very relaxing evening.
I couldn't figure out the room service. Tried to order breakfast by texting the number per the instructions but received no response nor breakfast. Not a big deal and probably user error lol
So happy Riverhouse could give you the peaceful retreat you were looking for. Evenings by the firepit are some of our favorite moments too. Thanks for letting us know about the breakfast ordering, next time we’ll make sure mornings are as smooth as the river view. Can’t wait to welcome you back!

Verified reviewThe pool and sauna are both nice.
The room was very dirty and hand lots of gnats in it when we arrived and every drain in the room drained very slow. Also the ice machine didn’t work and the room it was in was infested with bugs. The entire facility did not seem to be maintained well.

Verified reviewThe beautiful environment and surroundings, a nice place to relax after a long day traveling.
No elevator for the second floor, but it was manageable. We knew it might not have one so we packed just to bring a small travel bag to our room for the night. It worked out fine. This would in no way keep us from returning, to enjoy this calming atmosphere.
Sharon, we’re so glad Riverhouse gave you the peaceful pause you needed after your travels. The river and trees have a way of slowing the pace, and we’re delighted you could settle into that rhythm. Thank you for your thoughtful note about the stairs, we’re glad it all worked out smoothly. The river will be waiting whenever you return!

Having menus in the room would have been extremely helpful. We saw the on site restaurant but had no idea of menu, dress code, hours...

A bit aged. Just very large property so really doesn’t have that personal feel. Lobby is too small felt crowded and impersonal.
Hi Sherril, We appreciate you taking a moment to share your experience with us.

Hi Martin, Thank you for the 10/10. It truly means a lot to us, especially knowing your experience didn’t begin as smoothly as it should have. While we aren’t able to oversee how third party platforms process payments, we’re always here to support our guests when challenges come up. If your travels bring you back this way, we’d love the chance to welcome you again. And if it ever feels easier to connect with us directly next time, we’re more than happy to help ensure the planning process is clear and stress free. Your time matters, and we’d love for every part of your stay to reflect that.
