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 StatesLove the staff and the place super lean. If you have an issue, the staff does not waste their time fixing it. They take their time to satisfy the customer.

United StatesBeautiful, quiet location off the main highway, but still very close to the NOC, where we spent most of our time. It is a short drive to the charming town of Bryson City. We enjoyed the rockers on the front porch and the fire pits.

United StatesMy bed was a little hard, but everyone has their own preferences. A little noisy in the morning with all the families waking up early and running down the front deck area but other than that, it was great!
It was definitely unique! We loved the log cabin feel! We were in the woods and it felt very remote, but it was close to the road. They provided marshmallows, chocolate, graham crackers, and bonfire for s’mores that was the highlight of our stay. It was great and I would stay there again, my son enjoyed it too!

United StatesOne minor thing I can say I did not like is the bathroom sink, it was tiny, and there is no room to put any toiletries. Also pull your car to the top of the driveway to unload and load your luggage unless you don't mind a mini uphill hike.
It was a cozy place with not a lot of traffic around. The room was clean with all the necessary items and I liked the outdoor seating areas. If you are looking for a quiet place or want to do water or other adventures then this is a good place to stay at.

United StatesI wish I had known about the firepit so I could have brought smore stuff.
Great place. Although we didn't use the kitchenette since we only stayed one night it is great to have if you're staying longer since there are not a lot of restaurants nearby. There were a few games on a shelf to borrow. We chose Yahtzee.

They thought of everything from charcoal to fire pits , picnic tables , swings and games for family time! So peaceful!

United StatesThe walls are thin, as should be expected at rustic lodges, so if you are one who can't sleep at the slightest sound, pack your ear plugs. As a regular traveler, I always have a set with me.
The Lodge is clean, updated and adorable. The owners went out of their way to find cute decorative touches that make you feel that you are in the mountains without being over the top. They communicated my check-in and checkout information by text which is definitely my preference. I was able to park go directly to my room and sit on the beautiful porch right outside my door to decompress. This is truly a gem.
