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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

We enjoyed our stay immensely! The staff was friendly and helpful, the rooms were extremely clean, nicely furnished with comfortable beds and linens. The Black Bear Lodge provides extremely thoughtful touches, such as high quality hygiene products, delicious coffee, welcome chocolates, bathrobes and slippers, etc. to make guests feel comfortable and welcome. We highly recommend this location when staying in South Lake Tahoe!

United StatesBaths were a little dated but still very nice and clean. Jacuzzi had small rusts spots but we didn’t plan on using it so no big deal for us.
Outdoor seating so cute and comfy. Loved the little things like free drink coupons and goodbye gift of trail mix and bookmarks, even the pillow chocolates. Just so thoughtful and memorable.

United StatesThe only negative was no AC. They provided a fan to help pull in the cool air from outside, which helped at night for sleeping.
The lodge is a great place to stay. It's tucked away but close to town. It has beautiful grounds with trees and grass to enjoy while sitting outside. The rooms were clean and decorated in a way that felt inviting and relaxing.

United StatesOnly shortcoming was lack of coffee. They did have a pour over method coffee maker, but the coffee was not good. Also, there was crushed ice availability, but cubed ice would have been nice to have.
Friendly staff, beautiful lodge and grounds. Very well kept and clean. Lodge had lots of character and large trees. Great location, walking distance to most restaurants and activities.

United StatesOffering a complimentary breakfast would've been a nice addition; when rooms are not occupied, can the lights be turned off to conserve energy?
Beautiful grounds; natural room temperature control (good ol' open door and ceiling fan); proximity to amenities while still relatively rustic surroundings.
