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 StatesPool needed to be vacuumed. Needed quarters for the laundry and they weren’t able to help us. BUT THEY TRIED.
The staff were exceptionally attentive. Breakfast was good. Big beach towels at the pool. We wanted to stay another night and the staff went over and above to make it happen even though they were booked up. Lodge was clean, beds comfortable, bathrooms well maintained. Loved that it was in a woodsy surrounding.

United StatesOnce I got over how expensive one night stays are in Truckee, I was fine.
This is an excellent place to stay for one night, considering the high prices of accommodations in Truckee. The staff are friendly and the rooms are clean and comfortable. I love the quick access to Donner Lake State Park and Mountain Brew.

The staff is wonderful. We have stayed at Truckee Donner Lodge 3 times in the past 8 months and loved everything about it. The breakfast is great, with such a variety of choices.

I wish you would have updated your website to tell us you had a refrigerator in a microwave in the room. Some of us have dietary restrictions. This was awesome feature.

United StatesYoung woman working the front desk upon arrival. Didn't say hello, welcome, how can I help. Instead she looked at us for awhile & eventually said "it's $15 for early arrival". That was it so we left for an hour. Luckily a nicer young man checked us in
Very large room, comfy bed & asked in advance to be on top floor. They honored our request without questions.... doesn't normally happen that way

The hotel was a very good price, and we just used the room for sleeping (spent our days at a campground with family) so it worked fine

United StatesNo staff was able to determine if we could have a late check out. All staff should be privy to this. In general, staff was a little rude and didn’t want to be bothered. In particular, one member freaked out when I used the microwave in the common area back room, like I was going to steal something. Remember to lock the door, or better yet put it out in the common area like the coffee machine, so everyone can use it. I can’t imagine what the staff uses it for, as your breakfast was paltry.

United StatesWould have liked some kind of sweet roll or doughnut at breakfast. Not enough juice selection - only oj was offered. Eggs sometimes tasted funny, The roll-in bed I ordered for the friend who travelled with me was not very comfortable.
Room service met our needs. Breakfast was adequate. We stayed in Truckee mainly to visit my sister, so were away from the hotel during the day visiting and seeing the sights.
