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...).

This property is a hidden gem. The rooms are cute, clean and comfortable. The staff is friendly and accommodating. The rocking chairs overlooking the River that is only steps away are my favorite part.

United States of AmericaNothing - this place was really charming! Highly recommended.
We stayed in the river view suite, room #17, for a short weekend family trip during the winter off-season. The room was spotless and adorably decorated with fishing and bear images; it had a charming little kitchen with free popcorn and coffee; a sweet faux fireplace to keep us cozy, and totally stunning views of the Kern River from the patio and through nearly all the windows. The kitchen was fully stocked with a sink, utensils, plates, cups, a microwave, a mini-fridge, dishwashing liquid, towels, etc. We could see a dusting on snow in the nearby mountains. The staff had the heater turned on for us before we arrived and they were super friendly and helpful. There's a fish cleaning hut, lots of picnic tables, a chimnea with free wood, and at least one bbq grill available for guests; the path to the river is also lit up at night and lined with river rocks. It was so peaceful and beautiful! The only thing we missed was the Riverkern General Store across the street, which is closed this time of year. I'm sure it's much more lively in the spring and summer, but the winter was just right for us.

United States of AmericaThe only bummer was the road to the sequoias was closed. We did drive to end and found a nice ranch. Lake Isabella is not to impressive. It is a place where desert meets the mountain forest.
Beautiful area. Small town atmosphere. If you enjoy peace and quiet. Nature. Friendly people. Come here. All day the military jets fly through about every hour till 5 pm. It's very cool.

United States of AmericaThe headboard was bolted to the wall, the legs on the headboard blocked the electric outlet so I couldn't plug in my USB cube for my lightening cable to charge my phone, I had to plug it in by the tv. Next time, I'll bring an extension cord, hopefully I can get it plugged in by the headboard.
The motel was a few miles outside of the main part of town, I liked that about the place, it was quiet.

We booked room 17, with view to the river. It was so peaceful and relaxing to hear the sound of the river. We got in late, but called ahead and our key was left for us to pick up. The heater was turned on, so we didn't enter a cold room. Very thoughtful care during our stay.

Nice, clean, rustic-feel type of room. Parking in front of our room. There Gina the owner/hostess was very pleasant.

This place was very clean and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The location is close to town and next to the river and actually already in the Sequoia Forest. Amenities were good and the room was spacious. We plan to return. Price was good.

Absolutely Everything. Room 17 was overlooking the river and mountains. We only stayed 1 night because our vacation was only 1 week and spent most with family. The Beds were very comfortable and the little kitchen was so cute with a lodge pole table and chairs. The decoration is all about fishing including the sheets. Very nice barbecue’s and fish cleaning station that we will definitely use next visit.
