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.).

Czech RepublicThere could be a wider breakfast choice.
Wonderful hotel in a beautiful area. Really close to the Lake and also to Reno or Carson City in Nevada. The hotel is equipped with the Laundry room (1.5$). Clean and cosy.

United StatesThe facilities might need an upgrade. The air conditioning is pretty loud. Although the water pressure is good, the shower head seems to be outdated.
The staff is friendly, the location is super convenient—just one block away from the Heavenly gondola.

United StatesBath tub could have some care. Non-slip stickers were tearing out and drain was starting to clog. Another pet peeve (not a complaint): I could use a floor rubber mat to drop my snow boots. I wish I could find a channel guide for the TV available. Maybe it was there but I didn't really care about watching much, just finding something for the kids.
Pretty good. Room is relatively spacious and even if not the most modern, it looked relatively clean. I had pretty low expectations for the breakfast and it was pretty fair. Every morning we had available: bagels w/ a toast, cream cheese, apples, oranges, OJ, milk, instant oatmeal, fresh coffee, etc. Maintenance at the hotel prevented any slippery floor even after some snow storms, and I appreciate that a lot as my family had 0 accidents due to icy floor. Plus one for lending me a snow scraper to clean up my car. Room heater was good enough, mini fridge was spacious, shower was great. The king bed was super comfy. It's not a luxury brand, don't expect that, but for the price and location, you can't beat it.

United StatesExcellent location, the skiers in our group walked straight to the big Heavenly gondola. Helpful and friendly staff, solid wifi, reliable hot water and heating, big fridge and good microwave, adequate parking (tight lot was built before everyone started driving XL vehicles, back out carefully!) good snow/ice management, rooms big enough for all the extra space ski gear takes up. Breakfast isn't fancy, but there's plenty and bagels/oatmeal/hot coffee will get you going and save the time and $ of eating out. They assigned us adjoining rooms w/o stairs, good for my mother with a bum ankle. Not sure but seems like a small/family business, which I sure prefer to a big megacorp!
