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 only issue was the floor had been waxed and was a bit slick.
We stayed in Twin Creeks (left) and it was awesome. Lots of space, king bed, full kitchen, and a hot tub. The staff was great. Breakfast at the Cafe was huge with the best biscuits ever, or at the coffee shop with very good pastries and coffee drinks. The location was perfect for the event we were part of plus easy access to the Park. We'll come back.

United States of AmericaThe only complain was that the hot tub was not useable. The chemicals were so strong that air coming off the tub irritated your eyes.
We love the location and comfort of the Dancing Bear Lodge. Townsend is a great place to stay. The Lodge is on beautiful grounds, our beds are extra comfy. The property has everything you need.

United States of AmericaWish we could have stayed longer.
The management of Dancing Bear has provided such amazing hospitality. The “hiking” gift basket with treats and waters was so thoughtful and appreciated. So enjoyed the granola. Love that there is a porch in back to go sit and enjoy the trees and being outside. The options for in room coffee with real cream in the refrigerator was so appreciated. Make sure you book the Appalachian Bistro on the property for a lovely dinner.

United States of AmericaThe roads around the cabin area can be a little narrow and you have to watch out for trees and branches.
Dancing Bear is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy a quiet, peaceful visit to the Smokey Mountains. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms are very clean.

United States of AmericaThe bathtub was a bit hard to get in and out of. And we could hear a lot through the shared wall.
The cabin was perfect for us! Cute and felt homey-we especially appreciated the welcome basket with hiking-safe snacks! The front porch with rocking chairs was a bonus-we loved sitting out on it and reading. And the breakfast was excellent!

Beautiful cabins on a wooded hillside. The pictures don’t do it justice. While the restaurant was closed, the setting and menu looked outstanding. Great welcome basket when we arrived Truly is the quiet side of the Smoky Mountains when compared to Pigeon Forge.

United States of AmericaWould like a small ottoman or stool that could be used in the closet/kitchen. This makes it easier to load and unload the fridge but could serve a dual purpose to prop up feet while sitting in the corner chair.
We felt like we were a world away. Loved the location and the comfort.
