Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaAs many people have said - no wifi included. $10 for 24 hrs for only 2 devices (no changing devices). No cellular signal around hotel. This trip however is a place for us to unplug and enjoy nature.
Location was perfect. 5 minute drive from entrance to Yosemite. Hotel had clean bathrooms, kitchenette with supplied with basic pots, pans, cutlery, plates, and bowls. King Room had electronic fireplace that heated the room very well. Balcony view was breathtaking!! Having coffee in the morning with a view of Merced River will be most memorable. Staff at check in was extremely nice - Chris was an extremely friendly front desk staff and offered his favorite things to do inside Yosemite. Hotel facilities included pools, lounge areas, and the River Restaurant.

GermanyThere is no WiFi available, or atleast for 10$ per day and unfortunately the pizza place was closed during our stay.
The location of the hotel is impeccable. It is the nearest lodge to Yosemite NP and directly at Merced River. There are several apartment buildings and the rooms are very spacious, especially the bathroom! There are also some activities like a pool, a game room and a restaurant. The staff was extremely friendly, special thanks to our bartender gave us some recommendations for the park.

AustraliaPillows were all lumpy! For the price they can afford to replace the pillows. Every single pillow (& there were plenty by the way) had lots of lumps like pillows go when they're really old.
Affordable if you are happy with the 20min drive from the park & it's a scenic drive. Surprised our room had a mini kitchen which is good as there is only 1 place to eat.

United States of AmericaOne thing I didn’t like was that check in was at 4, & we weren’t able to check in at that time. Our room wasn’t ready until about 4:50! Also, the breakfast at the restaurant could have been a little better.
The location was perfect! The scenery was beautiful. To hear & see the Merced River from our balcony was awesome. We slept with the sliding door open a little bit just to hear the sound of the river! Last but not least we loved the jacuzzi in our room!!

United States of AmericaThe company they contract with for WiFi is ridiculous. Very expensive for what it is, still unable to make calls. They try to keep billing you past the date of purchase too. Not hotels issue per se, just wish they contracted with another more honest company.
Spent a lot more time on property than planned due to some car issues. For being stuck somewhere, wow was I lucky! Gorgeous grounds, lots of outdoor options to walk around, picnic & enjoy. Also really appreciate it being dog friendly & room has kitchenette.

United States of AmericaAmazing stay at Yosemite View lodge. It’s super close to Yosemite. Everything was clean, comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful when needed. The facility is really big. We got a room for 2 people with the spa tub and it was just perfect. Exactly what we wanted with my husband. I would recommend it to anyone 100% !

United States of AmericaThe decor is a little dated but to be honest it didn't bother me much. The two Jacuzzis outside our room were all broken and taken apart so that was a bit of an eyesore.
Great location and huge room with everything you could possibly need. The room has a kitchenette, jet tub, electric fireplace that kept the room at perfect temp, and a patio overlooking the river running behind it. It was great!
