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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
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.
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.).

SwitzerlandThere isn’t much to do nearby without driving at least 30 minutes, so having a car is definitely recommended
The location was absolutely stunning – nestled right in the forest, offering a peaceful and idyllic setting. The lodge itself was beautiful, featuring a spacious and inviting patio that added to the cozy, tranquil atmosphere. It felt like a perfect retreat in nature.

Cabin in the woods so peaceful. Jamie was fabulous in the restaurant, he said the food was the best in Canada and he was not wrong. Had a wonderful time and meal in Storm Mountain just wished I had booked for 2 nights.

United StatesUtterly charming and authentic more than 100 year old lodge and beautiful true log cabins with fireplace and front porches in a pristine mountain setting away from the hustle bustle. Dinner was delicious but you definitely need a reservation because the restaurant is small but mighty with delightful local foods crafted into fine cuisine. Our cabin was cozy but romantic and you can park adjacent so there was no need to drag all of your bags inside. The staff were quite friendly and helpful. All in all, a lovely experience especially if you can take a break from wifi which we welcomed.

GermanyVery expensive, close to road (noise), beds small and too soft (for our taste), breakfast very limited (have to pay for anything on top of one pastry, which to our opinion is not very appropriate in this price range).
Cute and cozy lodges, location is good to reach many nice spots (boom lake, vista lake, emerald lake, marble canyon), very good food at the restaurant, friendly staff.

CanadaNothing. Everything was perfect. Keep up what you folks are doing, thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
We enjoyed d all aspects of our visit. The staff were exceptionally welcoming, very kind and informative. We were surprised with no quiet time hours. Our cabin was absolutely picture perfect, exactly as detailed on website but better in person! The common fire pit area was so picturesque. The chairs were the comfiest to enjoy the flames with the gorgeous Storm Mountaon as our backdrop. Dinner was the absolute best meal I have had. We were spoiled with some suprose appetizers, the staff really took note of the reason we were there. Our stay was all we imagined it could be, but better. Quite grateful for the experience!

United KingdomThe cabin's bathroom was very tiny, dark and with outdated facilities. In general, the cabin was quite crammed when managing two people's luggage with no proper wardrobe storage. The "take-away breakfast" means free coffee for lodge guests, and a few food items for sale separately.
The location is amazing and the cabins feel authentic (some are probably 100+ years old, although updated since) and very private. The main cabin/restaurant/shop is gorgeous and a cozy space to hang out in. The lodge's restaurant is a real highlight and it served us hands down the best among the (already good) food we had in the area.

We were looking for something different than just the hotel room in Banff or Canmore, so we did get it! So natural, different, back in time, so close to nature from very comfortable bed to cleaning supplies, real fireplace in the room and log walls make the whole environment special!!
