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 AmericaI think the cost is a bit high for what it is. To be fair though, it is one of the lower cost options in Estes Park.
The view is awesome! The owner called me a few days in advance, met me there, and was generally very communicative and hospitable. I'd love to be there in summer to use the grills and patio furniture that overlook Mt. Meeker and Longs Peak!

United States of AmericaEnjoyed using the over bed lamps for reading, but they need to be dusted.
Convenient location. On-site owners/staff were very helpful with early check-in. Various eateries were recommended when asked. ( Excellent choices) Our balcony/porch.was a great place to star gaze.

United States of AmericaThe property is extremely old. the place was exceptionally clean but room was furnished with mismatched furniture. The bathroom was extremely small and shower was difficult to use because it was old. The heater came on and we weren't expecting it. The temperature outside was in the 80s. There were no controls on the heater and we had difficulty turning it off. It continued to go on and off all night.

Location was ideal for us - away from traffic noise and crowds. The owner was very knowledgeable, friendly and hospitable. Close to the marina where we went kayaking. Has a nice view of Estes Park. Was able to see elk in the meadow close by during the evening. Price was reasonable.

United States of AmericaIt's just old. Bathroom is old, heating and cooling is old. Again, for the comparative price it was fine, but don't expect a high end hotel
Location is perfect. Great views, easy access, close to everything. Staff couldn't be any nicer. It's an old lodge. It's a bit outdated, not dirty but not spotless either. Compared to the prices of the other nearby places, it is definitely a place I'd stay again.

United States of AmericaThe host was super responsible and kindly called us twice - once the day before our arrival and on the day of our arrival - to confirm our estimated arrival time, parking details, the meeting location, and whether we needed any additional items in the hotel. He arranged everything ahead of time accordingly. As a superb local guide, he answered any questions the guests had and was very helpful and hospitable. The amenities were ok and good value for its location.

United States of AmericaWe had a great time at the Olympus lodge and would choose to stay again when we com back to Estes. Thanks!
Todd is a wonderful host, he called us ahead of our stay to confirm our reservation and give us some check-in details. The room was clean and comfortable. We had a lovely view of the mountains right outside our window.  The decor was cabinesque. We felt like we were close enough to all that Estes has to offer as well as Rocky Mountain national park and still far enough away from all the action to have a relaxing stay.

United States of AmericaThe coffee maker pot did not work (too small for the machine). Otherwise everything was fine.
Booking.com had reserved a king bed room for us. However, I had requested a room with 2 beds. Todd, the person at the reception, made every effort to get another party of guests to switch with us and actually was able to give us the room we wanted when a rock climber couple agreed to switch with us. Todd was very kind and accommodating.
