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 AmericaLoved that it was out of the hustle and bustle of town, but that I could walk to the river and springs so easily. Staff was SO friendly and share a piece of their home. Excellent breakfast, good service, doggo friendly, and just a relaxing slice of mountainside to decompress!

United States of AmericaIt's understandable considering the age of the cabins, but the lack of air conditioning did make it somewhat unpleasant to be there during the day, and the parking was somewhat tedious as well.
The breakfast that was provided was one of the best I have had in a long time! Staff was incredibly kind and the dog on site was cute. The atmosphere of the property is quite peaceful and enjoyable.

United States of AmericaI didn’t research enough beforehand. So I was surprised to learn these are old original cabins from 100+ years ago. For example, doors and windows don’t close well because of warped wood.
Staff and breakfast were the stand out! Made up for any disliked details.

United States of AmericaI walk with a cane and the cottages were built on a hill so it was more difficult. The restrooms were a shared commodity. During the night I had to walk down the hill to use the facilities hoping I would make it on time.
The staff go out of their way to welcome you and help you feel welcome. The breakfast was made fresh when we came down for our meal and the hostess made you feel like you were best friends.The facilities were decorated with antique pictures, furniture and knickknacks. The green foliage, flowers and trees created a pleasant, quiet oases.

United States of America- The cabins are really really tiny. Like, luggage stays in the car tiny. You can't really expect more for the price and the uniqueness, so just be prepared. - The road from the car to the cabin can get muddy. - Lots of insects around the cabin, from months attracted to light (be sure to turn off outside light) to what looked like thread-waisted wasps. - Shared bathroom was a bit gross.
- These cabins ARE historic, making it a unique experience. - Authentic decor with a lot of cool tchotchkes inside. A lot of creatively used stuff outside too. - Close to everything, yet removed enough for you to feel like you are completely in nature. - They make you breakfast and it's good and healthy. - Can't beat the price.

United States of AmericaThe setting was just what we needed. Located off the beaten path on the back side of the river. The small cabins made an excellent get-away from the city. peaceful and comfortable, with a great breakfast.
