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 breakfast could be a little better (waffle maker) and the shower head in our room was about a foot lower than normal.
The rooms were newly renovated and very nice. It was close to town but far enough out to be peaceful. Staff was very friendly.

United States of AmericaBreakfast is pretty lean & basic, I only had cereal, juice and muffin. You had to pay extra for omelette. But not a major issue for me.
The building looks old on outside, but rooms are renovated, clean and comfortable. Room was overpriced but all hotels rates were too high in Bloomington that weekend because it was IU graduation weekend. Cascades was a good economic option since I wasn't spending that much time in the hotel. Just needed nice room close to IU campus.

United States of AmericaThe room was a bit on the small side and there was no chair to sit while working on my computer. Which probably was good in the end :)
the room was clean. There was breakfast included in the morning and coffee was surprisingly good. There was fast internet connection. And the location is very nice.

United States of AmericaThey are in the middle of restoring/renovating what I think may have been an early Holiday Inn, or perhaps a Ho Jo's. That said, our room was spotlessly clean, if very 'cramped', with no space for luggage or place to work, and zero privacy with the sink/dressing area, which is located in the sleeping space; there is no "bathroom", per se, the toilet and bathtub residing in a cubbyhole together. The room would feel less cramped with a queen-sized bed rather than the king; there might then even be room for a small writing desk. The shower faucets need to be replaced and the shower head raised to clear anyone taller than 5'5"; I hit my head on it several times.
The bed was very comfortable, and the bedding was really plush. The floor was vinyl plank, something that other motel/hotels should consider in lieu of carpeting in my opinion. The staff was friendly and helpful.

United States of AmericaThey told us they were renovating and it seemed a little run down when we pulled in but once you know they are working on it you have no problem with the outside.
The check in person was friendly and kind. The Garden walkway was a very pretty setting. Our room was clean, comfortable bed, Plenty of towels, Quiet, well lite inside and out, had a gorgeous view of a wooded area, ample parking, The breakfast was unique. Real glass plates, a nice variety of breads, yogurts, toppings, cereals and juice. A lovely room with REAL flowers on the tables. We were more than please and the price was very reasonable for the area.

United States of AmericaStains in the shower near the drain, TV screen had ghosting images, price seemed high for this quality of room, but the Eclipse drove all prices up in the area, so it was not out of line with the other hotels.
The bathroom was updated, the staff was friendly, the room was pretty clean, the bed was decent.

United States of AmericaA microwave would have been very helpful since there is no restaurant around. But the fridge was more important, to me, and I was glad to have it.
I did not have a chance to go to any of the breakfasts. The room was clean, I liked the bare floor. Towels were a good size. The bathtub/shower doesnt have any non-slip features. I personally don't like that at all. But its probably because I am over age 50 and dont have the same balance in an unfamiliar tub.
