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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 StatesThis is minor compared to all the comments, but the place could use a handyman. The bathtub didn't work (or the water was turned off). But there was a separate shower with really nice water pressure. Some patio furniture around the pool was broken. When we lifted a canopy on one of the loungers, it fell and hit me on the head pretty hard. Even with this, we would stay here again. Everything else was amazing.
We loved the location. The room, the patio and view, the pool, and the entire property were beautiful. It was a very friendly and easy check-in. We arrived on a Saturday and checked out on Monday. Although there was a "no vacancy" sign posted, it was very peaceful and quiet.

SwedenCan't really think of anything.
The surroundings are spectacular, the sound of the stream nearby, the nature. The lodge itself is really cozy. And the support we've received from the staff was amazing: the help with the check-in, yes; but also we accidentally left some of our stuff in the lodge and they shipped it to us by international mail very quickly. Shame we only spent one night there.

The rooms were amazing decoration and the environment was lovely. The staff was amazing. The layout of the room was awesome.

United KingdomBeing British we always find the lack of been able to have a nice cup of tea in a morning a let down, but thats just us.
Great find - lovely rooms. We got a river view and it was just that with the moutains in the background. Great veranda (roomy). Room was also great. Check in was easy (although not always manned after a certain time - so check in time needed and agreed). Short drive to Kernville which is a great little town. Didnt see any bears but lots of birds. Peaceful setting would recommend.

United StatesNothing - what's not to like.
Everything! The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are scattered among large, gorgeous Sequioa trees. The property is next to the river and some rooms have a river view from private balconies. The river is accessible down a maintained path. Our room was great and even had a fireplace. The staff was very friendly and responsive to all our requests. When an unexpected problem occurred with the water lines, they went above and beyond to make sure we were not negatively impacted in any way! They truly care about their guests! We will definitely be back!

United StatesThere wasn’t much room in the freezer portion of the mini fridge, the bathroom was sloped in a way where water from the shower would leak into the rest of the area. The couch was made from a leather-like material so it was cold in winter. A blanket would’ve been a nice addition. The office closes early, but we were still able to check-in fine. It is a 3 hour drive to Sequoia National Park.
Check-in and check-out were very easy, the bed was super comfortable, the fireplace gave the living room a cozy vibe, the microwave worked well, the mini fridge kept food cold, the jet tub was perfect, the property was cute, and the TV had an hdmi cord. Very close to downtown and Sequoia National Forest.
