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 StatesThe building was dated but clean. The TV kept loosing signal. Around 1030pm Saturday night power went out in the hall ways, my bathroom had no lights and we could not flush the toilet. We went down to the desk and they told us they have maintenance coming but we could write down our info and the hotel would contact us next week. We went to bed around 1am and power was still not on. It was on when we woke up.

United StatesCheck in was supposed to be 3:00 pm. We arrived at 3:45 and they only had one person working the front desk. When it was our turn, they had to check to see if our room was ready. It should be ready as it was now 4:00 pm. No urgency on the staff to speed up the check in process.
The location was nice being on the lake. They had seating outside where you could enjoy the lake view. There was a pool but we did not utilize

United StatesOne of the house keepers came into my room saying he didn't know anyone was in it. And that same housekeeper did the same to a family member the day before however they were missing money out of their wallet and he had their wallet in his hand saying he found the wallet in the hall but it was in the room that was after he told them he brought towels in which they did not request. The house keeper was definitely up to something fishy.
Beautiful area.

United StatesThat we were not able to get another room with a lake view the 2nd night staying there and the May flies that were on the building on cars flying everywhere in the front of the hotel in the parking lot. It was difficult to go outside at night due to those bugs.
I loved the room view of the lake for the 1st night we stayed. Then we got another night stay but we weren't able to get the same room nor another room with a lake view due to a wedding taking place. Come to find out there was no sign of a wedding, no guests no wedding atmosphere and we saw there were still many room on the lake side that were unoccupied. So we were lied to then. So the 2nd night wasn't as pleasant and there were a lot of may flies everywhere all over the entire property. It was quite sad that we weren't able to stay in a room with a lake view due to not being able to enjoy the balcony and the view the next day since we arrived at the hotel quite Iate the very first night. We're planning on staying there again this upcoming 4th of July weekend, if there's rooms available, of course.

United StatesOur biggest complaint was the pool. I had no idea about the open swim policy, which really lessened the availability we could swim because it was so crowded. I did not like that there was no lifeguard/worker in the pool area. The older kids were absolutely insane and rude. There should have been some employee in there at all times. Since we came specifically for the pool, it was a very big bummer in our stay.
The room was definitely dated, but still great. Breakfast was great!
