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 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):
- 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.).

Verified reviewI enjoyed the easy check-in and being directly across from the lake.
I think the rooms need to have some type of air unit to help circulate airflow. The room was a bit stuffy.
Hi Ashley, Thank you for staying with us. A lot of our guests enjoy the easy check-in process and the beautiful view across the lake, we are glad you did too. We appreciate your comment about the ventilation and have shared this with our team as we look at ways to improve. Opening the windows can really help with airflow, and we also have extra fans available for guests who need them. We look forward to welcoming you back.

Verified reviewLoved the location.
The communication could be better especially without a front desk. I wasn't sure where to park when I got my code access for my room it would have been nice to be sent a map of where exactly my room was. I had to walk around the building to find my room Bedding could be upgraded. Microfiber sheets and pillow cases. I normally wouldn't care but with no AC it would have been nice to have cool cotton sheets. Make sure to read reviews as this hotel does not have AC. I know Tahoe gets cool at night but I still prefer to stay somewhere with AC.
Hi Amber, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that online check-in is a change from the traditional process, many of our guests appreciate the flexibility of skipping the line and check-in anytime. We also wanted to mention that a map was included in the pre-arrival message we sent along with your check-in code. We do not have air conditioning due to our high altitude of over 6,300 feet. The fan improves the air circulation, and most guests appreciate it. Thanks again for staying with us. We’ll be sharing your comments with our team and hope to welcome you back for a more enjoyable visit.

It’s on a main road so there is street noise. It is a contactless motel with no in person services and no lobby. Price was high for what was offered.

The picture makes it seem cozy, but it wasn’t really cozy, more utilitarian - nothing wrong with the hotel, just not what I’d envisioned based on picture! The pool was a bit chilly for swimming.
