Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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 States of AmericaThe bathtub area could use some TLC - the pool area looks pretty shabby, hopefully will be brought back to "summertime fun" standards??
Beds were super comfortable - coffee station was handy.

United States of AmericaWe tried to follow the directions that were given to us to open the combination lock box on the wall for 10 minutes without success. Called the help number and got voicemail. No one was on site to help. Finally saw another guest who told us that the lock box didn’t work on our door and that the actually door knob lit up when touched so you could input in the combination. A few minutes later we had to tell another couple how to get into their room, too. No hair dryer, no microwave in room. The pool area is cordoned off-no swimming as the concrete was broken up to remodel the pool. For $500 for 2 nights (including a $47.50 pet fee for cleaning-the actual floor in the room was filthy dirty not having been mopped for a long time and stained my socks-we have a small 5 pound dog), it was way overpriced! We’ve stayed here before but we’re disappointed this time.
Nice area behind hotel to sit and enjoy the outdoors; comfortable beds , pillows and sheets

United States of AmericaThe housekeeping could be better. I asked for new sheets but they just made bed. A couple of dirty towels left behind. Floors were dirty.
Great location. Comfortable bed. Just a few minutes outside of Jullian. Has some great restaurants within walking distance. Owners are very helpful and professional. We were having problems with TV but they came and helped us fix the issue.

United States of AmericaWe were disappointed the pool was still under construction, it would have been nice to have known in advance as it was a very hot weekend and a cool dip would have been refreshing.
Room was comfortable and conveniently located near restaurants and other attractions. Much less crowded than if we were to stay in the town of Julian. For being located next to the main road it was very quiet.

United States of AmericaSee my review above for the goods and the bads. We actually really like apple tree
we always like staying here but sometimes its a hit or miss. We've come twice now where the pool is out of service. both times in the summer. I guess we missed the VERY fine print of it saying its closed on the site but to my defense it would be nice if that warning was larger as that is a large part as to why we wanted to come to apple tree was for it pool. I guess at least they listed it though right!? Anyways, the rooms are always nice and the staff are accommodating and keep to themselves and let you do the same. Heroes restaurant across the street is always a win.

United States of AmericaThey sent me a text instructions on how to obtain my key from a lock box. it only said **Please Read** when it popped up, so I thought it was spam and didn’t open it. When I got to the property there was no one in the office so I called. They asked if I had received their text and I said I hadn’t and they were going to send someone over. I then checked my texts and found it and called them back to not come. It would have been far better if they had put **Apple Tree Inn** at the top of the text so I would have known it was legitimate and opened it.

United States of AmericaI had to get used to not having the door lock itself. I ended up leaving it unlocked for quite some time. Maybe a note saying to use key to lock door when leaving and when inside to lock deadbolt.
The room was clean and nostalgic. The check-in was pretty cool. The bed was very comfortable.

United States of AmericaNot actually in Julian, 3 miles west in Wynona. Also, no one in the front desk, have to text manager. Strangest part was that you only get one key per room and the door only locks from the inside by using the key.
Beds were comfy, room was spacious and clean. Great bar & grill (Heroes) across the street ( closes @ 8 pm) with burgers, pizza, and live music when we stayed there. Also an awesome bakery and small coffee shop across the street for morning meals. There is also a fancy “Farm to Table” restaurant next door that looked expensive.
