Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesThe arcade had very few games that actually worked. The water slide closed early 2 of the days we were there. One staff member was very rude when we tried to order a coffee from Starbucks.
The staff was mostly friendly. The view was amazing and the room was clean.

United StatesThe sink in the rooms were way too high for kids and short people. I'm 5ft tall and struggled with brushing my teeth. Bathrooms were too tight, especially when the door opens inward towards the toilet. Very hard for plus size or large people to navigate through. Also didn't like that there were no sink for hand washing after using the bathroom, as the sinks were out in the entrance way. Lots of sanitizing that we had to do with the bathroom door knobs after each use.
The ceilings in the 2nd floor rooms were high and had chandilers, so the room felt very spacious. I love that rooms can be connected thru a door, so it's great for families needing multiple rooms together. The breakfast was fulfilling and had good options. The big hot tub/pool was the best and the arcade was great too.

United StatesThe bathroom was pretty small and the price was a little higher than I was hoping for but it was kind of a last minute and I believe it was the only room left that would accommodate us.
The Water park was fun although crowded and some rude people (not the staff). Love the fact that you had an arcade, the guy at the front counter was awesome.

United StatesOur patio door did not want to lock. I tried several times to get the lock on the door to stay locked and it finally did on my 3rd or 4th try. We would have liked a few more "warm" items on the breakfast menu.
We loved our room. It was very spacious and clean. The bed was very comfortable!

United StatesBreakfast not competitive with general competition in surrounding states. This was our 4th stop and it rated 3rd on breakfast handling and quality. Pario could be cleaned better and screen did not slide well. Found a snake skin as we entered. Had 7 people waiting at pub bar for a drink. Poor service. Had to yell back in the kitchen to find someone to serve us.Overall service could use a kick.
Good location. Comfy. Clean. Ability to park at room door and unload a plus. Liked arcade. Nice clean pool too. Great tv.

The Waters of Minocqua is a beautiful property. I didn’t realize it was a resort. The room was a great size. It has a porch, a table, a nice area where food could be put together. The bathroom was lovely. The bed was comfortable. A continental breakfast was offered, which I didn’t realize until I checked in at the hotel.
