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.).

United StatesI didn’t like that the front tried to promote the more expensive breakfast restaurant ratcheting than explaining the local options. I also didn’t like how musky it smelt but glad the actual room smelt clean. The pool/kid water area was a little sketchy. Looked like there was some mold/rust build up on the ceiling and around the kids area.
I liked the location and the price compared to other hotels.

United StatesThe hotel very outdated not well kept up with. The bed was uncomfortable along with the pillows. Also, we are a family of 5, and they did not have rooms to accommodate us. Although they allowed us 5 to be in a room, one of my children decided to sleep on the floor. Luckily, we brought a lot of extra blankets and pillows with us. I asked at the front desk if they had a pull out couch or anything like that, and the front staff quickly cut me off and said no. Smiled and said, "Have a nice stay." With smirk attitude. Most likely, we will stay at a different location close by.
The location is great. Walking distance to many attractions.

United StatesIt needs an update ASAP. Although it is likely cleaned often, carpets and other fabrics are so old, they don’t look it. The swimming area also is hopefully cleaned, but the old floor makes it appear that it hasn’t. There were also visible areas where it obviously wasn’t cleaned. It wasn’t a complete dump but was pretty threadbare
Its location is good. Close to the Tesla superchargers and not a far walk to food.

United StatesOur room in the third floor , with a room facing the lake was very dirty, as it seems to be that way most of the time. It is unfortunate because the view is amazing.
The room was nice, remodeled in the last few years. Air conditioning worked great. This is our second time staying here this year. It is a very good value with the Arnold Ferry across the street.

United StatesOur friends accidentally left a card table in the their room, which was the fault of them and us, but we were in the general Mackinaw City area for 3 days and no one notified any of us. We had stayed here before and had complimentary breakfast. We found out they no longer serve breakfast but give coupons for local restaurants.
Location is close to restaurants and Mackinac Island ferry. Clean rooms, comfortable bed.

United StatesOutdated, sloppy repairs/upkeep, staff wasn't as helpful as normally would be (didn't say how to get.to room or Waterpark, key stopped working, housekeeping thought we were checking out when we were reserved for 3 nights), didnt tell you the cable box wasn't plugged in so I had to figure out why it wasn't working. Stained towels, no trimming into the bathroom, and kept hurting feet.

United StatesThere was no info about the pools, waterpark, or sauna. We wanted to use the sauna in the morning, and we went to ask the front desk. The desk clerk acted like we should know all of the information we asked about. The SAUNA isn’t open “for the season”. It’s listed an amenity, and it’s a big reason we booked this hotel. The pools don’t open until 10:00, with an 11:00 checkout. 🙄 The water park and indoor pools don’t open until noon. 🙄 The hotel was reasonably clean, the view (across the street and parking lots) of the lake are fairly nice. But if you’re wanting to use the pools or waterpark, know that it’s only an afternoon/evening option. AND ask what “season” the sauna is available before booking if you’re interested in using it. 🙄
Convenient location to Arnold Ferry service. (Across the street) The evening desk staff was very nice.

Staff was friendly, easy check in and checkout. They were able to provide a pack n play for our baby. Our older kids loved the "waterpark" and pool even tho the water was gross and murky, could feel hair in my toes on the bottom of the pool.

United StatesShower was very low pressure, and only cold water for half our stay (3 of the 4 days), microwave didn’t work, the building was split between another hotel so it was a bit confusing to find the waterpark if you’re looking inside, but there’s also an entrance from the outside.
The location was great! close to restaurants and shops, and the ferry station. parking was pretty decent, waterpark was fun! Room was very clean and put together.
