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 reviewThe ranch seemed so much more organized than previous years we have went. The space is beautiful and its a direct flight for us, so we have gone like 3 or 4 times. While it is hard to imagine having a bad trip in such a beautiful and special place, on our previous visits the staff seemed a little more rigid and made things a little less fun. This time everything seemed to work more smoothly.
When they told us the code to the pre-breakfast coffee area, they only gave us the numbers, they forgot the # and *. It would have been helpful if they wrote out the the entire set of numbers and symbols we needed to enter to get in.

Verified reviewThe views are beautiful. Breakfast was very nice and a nice touch to our day. The tubing down the river was nice and we also enjoyed visiting the lake and taking the desert Belle lake cruise with live music which was close by.
Cabins are due for an upgrade in the bathroom.
Thank you for spending some fun in the sun with us! We are trying to find time to do some upgrades in the next few years, and appreciate your feedback!

Verified reviewVery quaint, old ranch hotel, impeccably clean very close to bigger cities. The rooms were decorated in western decor, comfortable beds. The breakfast buffet every morning was outstanding along with the ranch dinners in the Lodge. All the employees were extremely friendly and accommodating. The pool was great, the views were stunning.
Nothing. I didn't want to leave and will definitely be going back again.
Thank you for coming to stay with us and for the review! We're happy that you found it enjoyable and hope you're able to make it out again sometime!

Verified reviewThe location by the river was stunning. There is so much to do there - pool, games, swimming, axe throwing, badminton and much more. The breakfast was the best of all the 6 places we stayed in Arizona. The staff were super friendly.
Distance from restaurants for dinner.

Verified reviewLocation was amazing and the Breakfast were outstanding. Most of staff super friendly Cabins are comfortable - really liked being right down at the river
IT would be nice to have a larger fridge and a couple kitchen items like a BBQ so we didn't have to drive into Mesa for dinner each night. There were cowboy BBQ's but they were quite expensive so we didn't participate. Also did the kayak trip on the river and it is not what is advertised so that was a bit disappointing. I realize the river was very low at this time but wished we would have been told what to expect for our trip as I was disappointed.

Verified reviewIt is in such a gorgeous location that we loved looking at the mountains, especially the jagged ones! It’s so peaceful for being so close to a large city like Phoenix. We are horse lovers so that was a huge draw for us, too!!! The people were all very friendly as well.
