How guest reviews work
Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

The heaters were a bit tricky and there are no staff around (except in very restricted hours) to ask for help. It was very cold and we didn't have kindling/fire lighters for the stove. The first night the wall heater would go on, but not turn off and wasn't emitting any heat, just weird purple lights. The remote didn't work at all and eventually we just unplugged it at the wall. The next night we plugged it in and had no problems and the heat worked in the other room, so we left it on all night with the door open.
The room was cozy, with lots of extra quilts, and the bathroom was very clean. We would stay here again.

It was isolated from everything so we didn't have any good options when we accidentally planned dinner at the restaurant on property on the one night of the week when it wasn't open.
The cabin was great and the staff were very helpful.

The suite was great. One bedroom with a comfy bed and the other one with a futon, fridge, microwave, coffee maker and mini oven. Very convenient for the breakfast. Very quiet and peaceful. Also, there is a nice restaurant located inside the lodge we just did take out and it was very good.

Wished there was another love seat in the "living room" area
We rented "Cabin 3" which is a 3 bedroom cabin that sleeps up to 9. It was a newer construction with a beautiful view of the mountains. Very peaceful place and SO quiet at night. We stayed there with another couple and even though there was only one bath, we managed just fine. The kitchen was new and had all the appliances you could need. The beds were comfortable and there were heaters/ac in each of the rooms. We absolutely loved the breakfast nook. BUT the best thing about this place is that there is a farm to table restaurant. AMAZING dinner both nights!!

Booking.com didn't notify the Ranch of our change of dates. Caused a problem for the Ranch but they sorted it as best they could and very kindly reduced the payment for the inconvenience.
Location. Remote and beautiful. Fantastic to see the universe on a moonless night. Unbelievable amazing night sky. We also walked one of the Ranch's trails. So peaceful and beautiful. Breakfast is good considering how remote from stores the Ranch is for supplies.

Dinner was so amazing so I was hoping for a slightly better breakfast. I'd step it up or not do it personally.
This location was so amazing. The accommodations were built with the landscape in mind. The restaurant was AMAZING. I had one of the best pieces of fish in my life! Staff was super helpful and nice!

At the turnoff from the main highway, the only sign says "Salt Gulch." I think someone stole the "Burr Trail Road" sign--so we couldn't find you. Get on the highway department to replace the sign! Also, we were in unit 4 (I think) overlooking the dining area, and the bed was quite uncomfortable. I think you need to replace the mattress--I almost fell off while asleep!
Food pretty good. Breakfast ok--wish you had a chef to make an omelet.
