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 was short of staff and they were not able to fix a tv that wasn't working for the first night. i called the front desk, nothing. i called the other hotel that was given to me, just incase we needed anything, and no answer. I left a message at the front desk in the morning just incase when they arrived they could fix it. nothing. As well as there was a little market across the street but it was shut down but there is a market a little ways down that has everything too.
The area is beautiful and quiet, there was places to sit outside and hang out. There is a small stair case that leads to a little beach like area to play and hang out. They provide a fishing cleaning station as well as bbqs. The room had a little kitchenette with bar stools and seat. microwave with popcorn which was a really nice touch. There was coffee and mugs to use as well. perfect little family place.

United States of AmericaWas surprised by a $100 deposit for my 9 pound dog. However it is refunded if no damages.
Very nice sized room. Rustic but not primitive with comfortable beds (really!) Little kitchenette with sink, fridge and microwave- even gave us popcorn to pop. We had a disabled room and parking and access to the room was easy. The hotel is right on the river but a general store/deli is across the street. I would recommend this place highly.

United States of AmericaI can't think of anything needing improving or changing.
In two weeks of travel this was my favorite motel. Jim was kind and so nice. The bed was fantastic. The room and amenities were more than ample. There were rocking chairs overlooking the Kern River and a large deck with BBQ and steps down to the river. The room was very attractively decorated with fishing themes. The river area along the highway to the north is super scenic. The town south of the lodge is both beachy (on the reservoir) and Old West.

United States of AmericaBooking.com is deceiving. This is very distant from national park so should not be advertised as such. It’s a 4 hour drive to kings canyon or Sherman tree.
Great location if spending time in sequoia forest but don’t confuse this with sequoia national park. That is a 4 hour drive. Here you are closer to 100 giants trail but not the Sherman tree or national park. So less tourists here.

NetherlandsThe floor and the bathroom door are quite noisy.
We liked our stay at the Sequoia Lodge, the value for money is good. The room was very clean. It's run by friendly people. We liked that they have patio's with decorative lights to spend the evening outside. Although we didn't use it, they have big BBQs around the property for guests to use. We recommend staying at this lodge!
