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...).

Very secluded, little to no people. Which I like. Very quiet, aside for the sounds of nature.

The inside had all the usual amenities and was clean. Restaurant next door was the only one available for miles. It was very busy but food was okay. Compliments to the chef and waitresses working under pressure.

United States of AmericaFinding the place was our first difficulty. It was NOT clear that this property was connected to another lodge (which was clearly marked). Secondly, a young woman answered the phone when we were trying to locate the lodge, asked us to hold. She took care of 2 other visitors while I waited on the phone for 10 minutes wanting to get the location of the lodge. Thirdly, the lodge manager? was unfriendly and not very cooperative when we arrived. We are simple folks and don't ask for much but we were VERY disappointed in this place. We would not visit Buck Meadows again. I'm sorry
The location was close to Yosemite. The Buck Meadows is located in the mountains.

MexicoThe staff are not super friendly. Also there is an extra charge if you want your room tidied up everyday, which I find exaggerated since this is not exactly a cheap place. Also note that at the moment (end May 2023) the access to Yosemite NP via Hwy 120 is closed. Therefore you have to drive 70 miles to get into the park via one of the other entrances.
Very good location, with comfortable rooms. not too noisy in spite of the road. The (independent) restaurant Lucky Buck is quite good, with a good variety of dishes.

United States of AmericaShower drains slowly and porch/deck light was too bright at night. The curtain needs to be a few inches longer to block out the light. I had a hard time sleeping...I need it dark. Also... It would have been nice to know that we're checking in at the large hotel next door...that was a little confusing.
Nice clean updated room. Great location. A bargain for the area.

We stayed one night in Buck Meadows Lodge in mid Sept after our visit to Yosemite. Parking just in front of our room. It's a motel style room, quiet, clean, comfortable, great amenities, plenty of towels and everything is perfect. The bed comfortable so we had a great nights sleep after a long day at Yosemite. Vey nice bathroom. Wifi was decent. Refrigerator, microwave and flat screen TV in room. Great stay!

LatviaAs we with friends stayed in different rooms I noticed that some room was with good ventilation, some was with bad air quality and had no shower gel, no soap while there was rooms where all was great. Also they have some small rooms where sink is located not in bathroom, but bedroom.
Near rooms is Bucks Meadow caffe, where you can get great dinner... but unfortunately breakfast there was terrible... but still on our more than two weeks trip to USA, we would rate dinner there in top3

United KingdomBucks Meadows Lodge provided everything we needed for an overnight stay after our visit to Yosemite. It shares a building with the excellent Lucky Buck Cafe (excellent dinner and breakfast). Check in is at the Yosemite Valley Lodge next door. Convenient location, and the room had all we needed.
