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 reviewLoved EVERYTHING!! The comfort, the peace, the pool, the vibe, the people, all around AMAZING. We love to travel to different places and this one just... left with no words. We got there late and read the wrong book cover, because we did think it would be a bad stay, but then we walked into the room, and the next day the views and everything else made it so much better. Reading the history of the hotel was pretty cool too. For sure would love to come back.
2 things, no iron/ironing board & the TV's internet didn't work. Granted it's a beautiful place, but while I slept my husband was bored.

Verified reviewFirst and foremost, the manager Bri, is amazing. I watched her work her butt off to make sure everyone was happy and had what they needed!!! She is a gem! The Showboat had everything we needed for a short weekend away. Live bands on Friday and Saturday night. We sat outside of our room looked at the lake, watched people and listened to music. Very fun and comfortable vibes! We had some appetizers in the restaurant and drinks on the deck as well. We seriously did not want to leave!!! Looking forward to staying there again.
The bartenders all seemed very flustered when they were a little busy. I think they need one more bartender dedicated to just being a bartender, not helping servers or running for food. My idea of busy is 2 deep at the bar. The bar wasn't even full , and the girls were struggling. Well served customers are happy customers!

Verified reviewThe room was clean and updated with a minimalist Scandi design. The shower was extra nice. The pillows were terrible and too large and I got a neck ache from them. The bed was very comfortable otherwise. The pool was really nice and restaurant was on the water. I didn't like that there was no one to greet you and tell you about the area. That seemed unfriendly to me. But people at restaurant were nice( but busy.), but that's standard now with so little help..
I already wrote it above.

Verified reviewExcellent lakefront location in an area that is not overrun with touristy places. The beds were very comfortable! Restaurant attached to it had basic food but was very good. Main property manager lady was helpful.
The rooms were recently remodeled very nicely but could use a few more finishes - e.g. towel hangers, bathroom vanity space, and coffee makers/supplies. The 3rd floor balcony room was fairly damp all the time. The 1st floor room on lakefront was not the cleanest.
