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):
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 StatesThe sheets were washed but still had visible stains, one fork in the kitchen; we found a lunchable box underneath a bed, so we figured it wasn’t fully cleaned and stocked. The pool looks nice from the outside, but when you get in you can see paint chips and cracks… our son got a cut. This is not about the property, but still it’s important to share: there is a lot of bears around in August. We encountered a black bear about 20 feet from us while stargazing for the Perseids around 5 am across the property.
Good location, full kitchen, friendly and knowledgeable staff, everyone has their own entrance and privacy, parking (but we had no car) spacious rooms, fireplace (but it was summer) 3 mins to the beach, a little backyard, next to restaurants and cafes, and the 267 TART bus which made it convenient coming from Truckee, CA / Amtrak.

United States-
Friendly proprietor, allowed me a very early check-in; good spot on main drag near shops, restaurants, taverns, ice cream shops, and walking distance from King's Beach swimming area. Not fancy, and exterior door handle a bit loose, but a quaint old motel vibe, with a pool and little rec room with ping-pong table, and as reasonable a price as is available at Tahoe in summer.

United StatesThe room felt a bit old and dusty, which I personally didn’t mind but my partner who has dust allergy did.
Easy walking access to Kings Beach and businesses around the area! All the parkings around the area are very competitive especially after 11 or so on weekends, so our location was a huge advantage.

United StatesGreat location with walking to King's Beach and restaurants/ice cream. Was nice having an easy parking space to walk around. It is right next door to a burger joint that was satisfactory. The place is dated, and the beds could be more comfortable, but it worked for what we needed and descent price for north Lake Tahoe.

United StatesOur bathtube was in poor condition. Big patches of paint were going off and it was full of hairs from previous guests. We also spotted mold on the shower curtain. The rest of the room was fairly clean.
The host is very welcoming and accommodating. The location is very good, only 20 minutes from the Northstar ski resort and 5 mins from restaurants.

United StatesI wish the appliances were a bit fresher - the coffee machine was very old and felt… Very used. Also, there was a plastic bowl to use on top of the microwave that had paper towels/tissues that someone left under it and I guess it went unnoticed. All in all place felt clean though.
Good location, about a 3 min walk from the beach. There is a gas station food mart right across the street which was convenient as well. A 7/11 is close by too. Owner was friendly and helpful. Good value for the price, cozy little room with all the necessities. Overall, I think it was good value for the very affordable price, especially if you’re someone like me who was just looking for a place to sleep for one night.

United StatesThe bed isn't the most comfortable. And the bedding is not the cleanest or nicest. But we stay here due to good price and value compared to other options in Tahoe.
An affordable place to stay in Tahoe near the beach and near some ski resorts (North Star, Palisades). Solid WiFi. Great heating in the room during the winter. Check in anytime with the host.
