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're 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 Wifi. 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 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Super friendly staff and pleasant hotel facilities with various activities. Particularly enjoyed the cookies we got on arrival- a very nice gesture. The hotel has food options, and downtown SLO is a short drive, so the location is nice as well. I think this would be a particular family-friendly hotel.

I was disappointed that the restaurant closes on Mondays through March. That is one of the main reasons why I like staying at Apple Farms. But the breakfast bag was a nice gesture.
Free cookie, apple cider and coffee beverages in the lobby.

Nothing at all, it was all great!
The main house is beautiful and the pool and hot tub are fantastic amenities. The robes they lend to guests to keep cosy after using either are also a great addition. I love the wooden gift apples, that will be a treasured memento of the stay. The warm cookies you get when arriving are also so good, perfect with the hot cider available at reception. Having a gas fire in the room was also super, being able to watch real flames is always a comfort. The restaurant for breakfast was excellent, we didnt eat in the evning so cannot comment on dinner. The standout for me though, was the exceptional service from everyone I encountered. I have already recommended staying here to a couple I met in San Francisco.

At times in the hallway on the 2nd floor, it smelled faintly of garbage odor.
When you step in, it feels very warm and welcoming with the gentle country vintage feel & decor. The room was very spacious and had a nice seating area with plenty of light from the bay window. The bathroom was nice & clean and basic in the needs of a bathroom. Lastly, the restaurant on property of the same name was fantastic.

No room service. Wish the restaurant would return to its former self. The food is still good fortunately, but I miss that wonderful gift shop. In fact while waiting to be seated for lunch, six different women in the gift shop mentioned to me how much they miss the previous gift shop inventory. It is "ok" now, but it was wonderful in the previous years. One of the ladies mentioned that she just texted her adult children that she could not purchase items they could have purchased before because those items are no longer part of the limited inventory of today. It was another reality check after Covid. sadly. I hope that will change going forward. Also wish it would be easier to extend the time the fireplace runs.
Our bed was so comfortable!!! Hard to willingly get out of it! Had to cuz there is No room service! The decor was so tasteful and relaxing. Very comfortable furniture. Sweet fireplace.

Its very common, but I don't like how cold the tile floors are in the bathroom. I think hotels should consider placing a solid rug in the bathroom for greater comfort of guests. Also, the fireplace shuts off after a very short time.
The beds were very comfortable, and we really loved the little sitting area in our room, and enjoyed just spending time in the room.

The restaurant was only open from 7-12pm and we were told at one point that there would be free breakfast in the hotel lobby during the weekend which wasn’t true, free snack bags were available on the weekdays though.
The property was beautiful, very clean and well maintained. It was also a 15 minute drive to downtown so pretty close to everything. They also had a restaurant, wine cellar and market place on site which was convient
