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 StatesIf you rely totally on GPS you could end up at the wrong location. We were unaware that there are 2 Trailborns 2 miles apart from each other. You need to check if you're at the Outpost or not because that will make a difference in which one you're staying at.
All the soaps and lotions are of very good quality! Looks locally made and uses clean ingredients. Pillows are big, firm & comfortable. Love the built-ins for closet space & built-in seating. The air conditioner works great, with very strong airflow. I appreciate the bedside tables. Easily outlets for charging cords.

United StatesThe room or two below us literally partied all night. We had a REALLY hard time sleeping through all the noise of the music and the many people present in the rooms. We asked staff about it in the morning and they said no one would answer the door when they went to check on the party, but we were a little put off that nothing else was done, including calling the police for noise disturbances, possibly underage drinking, etc. We were not offered any discount, extras, or anything even though we barely slept.
We liked that both Trailborn locations had related perks, and the facilities were very nice. The rooms were smaller, but tastefully decorated.

United StatesThe breakfast never had silverware and the bread/ English muffins were left out and hard. Or when we got there about 9 both mornings. It was either already picked over and not refilled or it was just not refilled to begin with. The lady at the counter apologized but was unable to fix and they were still waiting for someone to bring more supplies/food.
It was nice and quiet.

United StatesThere was lots of noise from the room above. Older buildings have little sound proofing. The pool wasn't open, our room door was at the bottom of the stairs going up so we had people bumping/brushing our door at all hours. The bathroom vanity area light didn't work unless the main room light was on.
I liked the location and ease of getting to where we wanted to go. There was a small soft sided cooler in our room for our use which was very handy. the room was very spacious.

United StatesEven though you have 2 properties within a mile of each other they should each have their own amenities for each hotel separately unless they both have the same amenities which they don’t. The included continental breakfast was at the other location so we would have to get in our car and travel?? That cuts into our vacation time. We didn’t go for the breakfast at all. We paid for breakfast which we thought was included at our hotel. Also our hotel didn’t have an ice machine. We could use the provided cooler but there was no ice to put in there. We were told we could go to the other hotel and they would fill it. I also did not feel our bed was the best but not bad. He said they were new so maybe there was something wrong with the way it was set up.
Newly remodeled very nicely. The young man at the front desk was very nice and helpful. Loved the hand soap and bath products. Loved the books in the room as well as having a cooler available for us in our room. That was very handy

United KingdomUnfortunately I can only cite the feedback of others: the room was not clean and the property lacks care and attention. I found hair of about 4 different persons (both in the bathroom and bedroom). The furniture (a bench) and in specific the sheets had large stains on them. It wasn’t possible to even enjoy a view of the mountains because the windows were so greasy and dirty. Breakfast was not available as it was apparently not delivered.
This is a nicely renovated hotel in Estes. It offers a lot of opportunities. Staff is friendly.

United StatesI left the keys inside the room and had to wait (after a weeding around 11:00pm) and go look for the person in charge to the other hotel (reception was locked & empty) to remind her to come and help me open my room, it took about one hour. The hotel needs better office management and having that great view of the mountain is hard to see with a dirty glass door. Otherwise location is great and beds are comfortable.
