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 AmericaThere is 2 roads to get to the place, but one of them was closed, maps said it was open, to reconfirm I contacted the property and been said it was open, when we were just 20’ away, ROAD CLOSED(west entrance), it was more than 1h drive from main road, so lost 3h to go around, but no apologies or nothing for miscommunication. Wifi is very slow but it’s understandable given location far from everything, so stores or gas, everything is at least 1h drive. At least TV would’ve been nice since there is no much entertainment on site.
So it is quiet mind place, very peaceful and quiet, far from everything and everyone, perfect to disconnect. Breakfast was tasty, no big variety tho. Beautiful surroundings.

GermanyA cosy wooden lodge, just a few feet away from the river - you can hear the rapids, but once the door is shut nothing disturbed the sleep. Very hearty breakfast with a selection of cereal, porridge, yoghurt, eggs (omelette or hard boiled), fruit and a selection of breads (including bagels and cream cheese). Do note, that there is no cell coverage in the area, so download your maps just in case, but it’s just one road from Lake Isabella, so finding a place shouldn’t be a problem. Wi-Fi on the property is good, so you will have connection once you’ve checked in.

United States of AmericaWhile we truly loved everything about our experience, some may be a little challenged by the remoteness of the location. Quiet Mind is 10+ miles up a winding country road from the nearest (small) town. It is in Sequoia National Forest, but during the winter the road to the north closes and access to Sequoia National Park requires a long drive. It's also worth noting that this is a remote, historic property, so things we found charming (like the old growth redwood ceilings and panelling) may seem "outdated" to other guests.
Breakfast was delicious and similar to what you find in many European lodgings. They offer a tasty, mostly homemade selection of items for both breakfast and on their dinner/room service menu, including a fantastic apple pie straight from the oven. The beds were very comfortable, and the staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly. We really enjoyed the relaxing environment and being surrounded by the beauty of nature. It's hard to beat seeing and hearing a waterfall just outside your room, and there are several gorgeous spots within a 10 minute hike from your room (see photos).

United States of AmericaIt’s a lovely place in the middle of Sequoia National forest. It’s a great getaway if you want some peace and quiet away from everything. There’s a lovely river passing through the property. The nearest town is at least 30 min away. Because I went during winter time, part of the forest ahead was closed so to get to Sequoia National park it was a much longer driver. Just a heads up about that. Unfortunately I had to leave a day earlier due to a work emergency. They were very accommodating with my situation. I will definitely be back. They also had an amazing apple pie, and everything was very clean. The staff was very nice.

United States of AmericaThe room could have used a clothing rack to hang up coats ect., due there was no closet space in the room we had. Also, the hostess walked us into our room which we thought was a little different but maybe it's just an added special touch they prefer to do that we are not accustomed to.
If you are looking for a Rustic, Peaceful, off the grid Moutain getaway look no further. A beautiful quaint piece of property right on the river in one of our favorite areas of California. We thoroughly enjoyed the quietness. Our room was cute with added special touches and pretty comfortable with most the amenities needed for our overnight stay. We even loved the fact that there is no TV in their rooms. They offer DVD's, book and board games you can use in the Lobby area. If you are looking to disconnect and get in touch with Nature this is the perfect place to accomplish that with there being no cell service. You can hear the sound of the water in the river flowing in the room which we loved. Wished we had another day to stay and explore. We will definitely be back!

United States of AmericaThere wasn’t sufficient window/door coverage to keep out light in mornings for a longer sleep. The bathroom could use updating but it fits the vibe of the space
The location is serene. The staff is warm. The meal was delicious. I appreciated being in the main space bc I was with my son and it was cold. It was nice not to have to leave once we arrived.

I usually don't write reviews but this place stood out on my recent cross-country road trip. This unique property is off the the beaten path in a very peaceful and beautiful setting. The room was comfortable and clean and the staff friendly. Katie was great and greeted me as soon as I got out of my car and went out of her way to make me feel welcomed. Definitely recommend.
