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 KingdomWooden construction meant that you could hear every footstep overhead, but luckily they were early to bed and early to rise like us!
Great location, large and well appointed room with big fridge, hob, microwave and coffee machine. Nice decor and new towels and very clean. A/c worked well too. Lovely swing seat out front with view towards river and bbqs and garden space out back. Wish we had booked for longer.

United States of Americasemi racist artwork in our room, not sure about other rooms. could use some updating, but it’s a mom n pop type of spot with only a few rooms and they’re doing the best they can so we gave them a break.
a place for biker/motorcycle folks from bakersfield that are middle aged and drink too much. Homey grandma vibes in the room, super stocked kitchen area and big fridge. you could live here. location is amazing. makes up for everything.

United States of AmericaI like to watch tv when I go to bed. I was a little disappointed the tv was not in the bedroom area but I'm sure they have their reasons for that. The mattress was too firm for me, but everyone has a different preference.
Really enjoyed the location next to the river, and the vintage property. Everything a guest would need was supplied.

United States of AmericaLocation was excellent. It's in the middle of town and you can walk around and when you wake up, the river is in front of your hotel across the street. The bathroom shower is a little tight and small, but the overall space is good enough for my stay.

United States of AmericaWe need a second night but we had failed to make prior reservations and had to find a different place. We REALLY wanted to stay here another two nights. These accommodations were "the" very best we found in all of Kernville.
This place is located across the street from the Kern River that passes through here and alongside this lovely park across the street from this hotel. This is a super lovely setting nestled in the mountains. We had a bench on our front porch and also in our back porch! Amazing views from both our backdoor windows AND front door windows. You MUST stay here if you want a super fabulous place. You will not be disappointed. Fabulous views with the mountains and river across the street. This room was super adorable to the max. My friend and I saw it and HAD TO STAY. We are soooo glad we did and you will too! Gloria at the front desk was exceptional. She is super friendly and courteous. She was "the" only friendly person we encountered in all of Kernville as far as staffing in any hotels or restaurants. Everyone we encountered at the park across the street was friendly. Regarding staff at the other two hotels {not this one} and a store where there was a subway and our waitress at Cheryl's Diner were all not friendly. The cottage we stayed in exceeded our expectations. The mini-split worked the best of any other hotel that we stayed. The kitchenette was adorable with retro-style red fridge, red microwave, and red toaster added such elegance to the kitchen. Large 5' fridge accommodated all the food we brought. We had a front yard and back yard for my service dog which was suuuuper fabulous. My doggy found a treat behind the front desk and Gloria had no problem my doggy Silky taking it and enjoying it. That night he found another treat in the back yard. We later placed a written request to Gloria on her desk to gift us another. Before we knew it, she brought it to our door. My doggy was in heaven. We were in heaven. This place is super clean, super adorable, super comfy with digital entrance on both door knobs -- to backyard and front yard.
