Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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 AmericaWe could hear the people in the room above us walking around & at times it was very annoying. We could also hear the vehicles in the parking lot & the motors (& motorcycles) being revved up was not pleasant 1st thing in the morning.
The location was perfect, in the middle of everything & right on the river, so it still felt secluded. Comfy bed. The staff was nice & helpful. The room was clean & spacious (it had a musty smell when we 1st arrived, probably because it was right next to the river, but we lit a scented candle & that helped)

United States of AmericaThe only complaint would be the steps but when we checked in the lady did try to get us a ground floor room. Next time we will request ground floor when we make reservations.
We really enjoyed our stay there. Close to everything. Loved being by the river.

United States of AmericaThe bathroom floor was dirty and the sink drain was so slow that it was hard to rinse it properly after brushing teeth. The first room we were assigned, the toilet needed 20-30 minutes to fill up so it would flush again.
I loved the location and swings by the river.

United States of AmericaTown basicly shuts down for night at 9pm
Place met and surpassed expectations. Room was clean, staff friendly, and location was excellent. Bed was comfortble.. Breakfast was adequate, and better than most. Only low points were the dirty grills, and trash by the river. The coffee in the room was pretty bad...thin and bitter. I wish that they would have a coffee dispenser in the lobby for those of us that like a cup after, and before the breakfast hours of 7 to 10am.

United States of AmericaBreakfast was very “light” and, as mentioned, there is no elevator to second-floor rooms.
This property location next to a fast-flowing river and in walking distance to downtown shops and restaurants is unbeatable. Most rooms have a riber view, even the ones on the (elevated) first floor, where we stayed as there is no elevator. Our room was comfy and so was the mattress

United States of AmericaThe breakfast could have been better. Also check in could be available earlier. I know they had rooms available earlier but made me wait until 3 to check in. For someone who works nights it through a damper into my afternoon activities. They should be able to make exceptions.
The location was perfect. Walking distance to the whole town. Nice view of the river. The rooms exceeded my expectations. They were all brand new. They have kept the ambiance of the outside but upgraded the rooms.

United States of AmericaThe parking lot for guests is small. I would recommend having larger vehicles park in the lot across the street.
The Riverbend is in a beautiful location. It's an easy walk to the activities in town. We enjoyed the swings along the Chattahoochee for some peaceful, quiet time.

United States of AmericaThe only downside was how bright the exterior lighting is at night. I know this sounds crazy, but it shines into the room and I enjoy sleeping in complete darkness, so it did interfere with my sleep at times.
The location to all amenities in Helen was a big plus! Walking distance to all eateries and shops! Will definitely stay here again!
