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 reviewThe staff was Wonderful! Location is great and beautiful!
Floors could have been mopped and less gritty, bathroom vent fan broken, and no mini fridge for daily medications. And I always want a bath tub, but it wasn't there either.

Verified reviewProperty is right on Flower lake. Access to kayaks and canoes. The pool was clean and refreshing. Close to town, some restaurants were even within walking or biking distance.
Maybe a little updating would do this place some good, but overall not complaints.

Verified reviewThe room provided everything we needed for a few nights away with my elderly mother. It was easy to access, had a good kitchen, comfortable beds, and was generally very clean. We also greatly enjoyed having immediate access to the hotel's kayaks and the lake. We loved the old school Adirondack vibe.
There were only a few very minor issues. The kitchen was sufficiently equipped with cookware but had very minimal silverware (not enough for the three of us). Luckily we had our own.

Verified reviewSuperb location right on Lake Flower on the outskirts of the city of Saranac Lake. The location was generally quiet and calm with a TON of ammenities that made this stay extremely worth it. We were in a great location for hiking St. Regis and Ampersand Mountains, and my friends and I were very pleased with being able to take kayaks out on the lake. The room we had was a standard double with two double beds. It was small but efficient. The room was clean - even smelled clean and fresh when we opened the door. They have an ice box and water refill station which we used quite frequently since we were hiking. The icebox was well maintained and I had no qualms about cleanliness. The staff were very friendly, went out of their way to show you around and checked in if you needed anything. I am very pleased!!
There's not much to dislike. This isn't elegance at its finest - its comfort and simple ammenities for a relaxed lake vacation. The parking lot is small, but during our stay we had no problems finding a spot. I think if you go on a weekend during peak season it might be a challenge.

Verified reviewQuick check in. Canoes and bikes to borrow. Walkable town of Saranac. Convenient to areas around, eg. Lake Placid, Whiteface Mountain, etc. A beautiful view of the lake.

Verified reviewWater view rooms had beautiful scenery to wake up to or chill at the end of the day. Pool was surprisingly pleasant, perfectly ph/chlorine balanced; actually thought it was salt water.
Bathrooms are small and a bit tight.

Verified reviewAn old school motel on a lake. A working outdoor pool, drive up parking. Each bed had five pillows and a soft, comfortable mattress. The price was fair.
We have no complaints and would stay there again.
