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 recently had a family vacation to Quiet Mind Retreat in Julian, California, and it was incredible! We were searching for a quiet and calm getaway with my husband, our two kids, and myself, and this property surpassed our expectations. The retreat is located on Lake Cuyamaca and offers breathtaking views of the lake and the mountains in the area. Our spacious suite, which had all the conveniences we required for a peaceful stay, was ideal for our family of four. Our children loved the hot tub and the pool table room, and we really appreciated using the gym. The yoga and meditation classes for families that were provided at the retreat were one of the highlights of our stay.This was such a wholesome and connected experience for our family and we actually plan to do daily yoga as a family going forward! The staff even organized a picnic for my daughters birthday and she was simply delighted to have a birthday cake and lunch and her own suprise picnic by the lake! Thank you to Sarah, Josh and Sarah for the amazing, above and beyond service!

United States of AmericaThe meditation floor.
I saw this hotel passing by Cuyamaca Lake often and typically I would stay in Julian. Exteriorly, the building looks somewhat worn, red rustic. Interiorly it is very clean and decorated as if you are in a Tibetan monastery. The meditation room reminds me of going into a Buddhist temple with many statues of Buddha. No incense. It is a multi-purpose room, for meditation, and slow/quiet work out. Or even prayer. I practiced Tai Chi there with plenty of space to move.

United States of AmericaUnfortunately our shower only had warm water both days of using it. It wasn’t so cold that you couldn’t shower, however it wasn’t hot enough to take a relaxing shower. The walls are very thin. You can hear doors opening and closing, people talking and walking in the hall, but despite that we slept great since no one is really roaming the halls past 9pm. The “filtered” water that was in the kitchen had a really off taste to it. I’m not a picky water drinker, but I really couldn’t drink the water. I reached out to concierge to purchase a large perrier water from the room service list, however they were out. Next time I’d just be sure to bring my own jug of water for the stay.
The property was at a great location and stunning views. The staff was kind and very attentive.

Sarah especially was so nice and helpful with all of the questions I had. The lodge itself was beautiful and the common area has this amazing view overlooking the lake!

United States of AmericaEverything was great!
We came so my wife could witness a morning with falling snow for the first time. She is a native of Cabo San Lucas. We were not disappointed. There is a good sized balcony with a beautiful view of the lake and mountains. Snow began to fall about 8 as we drank some coffee. There was a comfy couch facing the view. The heating system worked perfectly keeping the room warm. The bathroom had a jacuzzi tub. I like those because I don’t like to breathe the clorine fumes. Everything was clean. The bed was very comfortable. Awesome place to stay! Thanks to Sarah at the front desk! Also the lady that takes care of the breakfast bar!
