Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 StatesBreakfast, I would not call breakfast. Please step up your breakfast for such a cool location and hotel, use some local flair and really make a breakfast.
Breakfast was nahhhh not what I would call breakfast, we ended up going to McDonalds for a breakfast sandwich. On this trip we only found one place that had a good breakfast. Before Covid breakfast was much better. So disappointed that Hotels are still using the easy way of making breakfast. Wish they would step up their game especially because the cost to stay at Hotels is so much more money and most hotels don't even provide housekeeping. Loved the location and we had a room looking out to the city. What a fun town to stay at. Just a word, when we were down town shopping on of the shop owners ask us where we were staying and she was like Yuck, we told her how much we loved this old hotel and how it had been up dated, and that she needed to take time to check it out. I think it would be a good idea to invite the local shop owners for a night to experience the great hospitality your staff offered and how cool this old hotel is. Thank you

United StatesA explanation in advance of where to park to check in (behind hotel) and the actual overnight parking (in the separate motel lot BEHIND the hotel).
We love staying in older hotels in historic towns, and have stayed here before and liked it. While it isn't high end luxury, it is reasonably priced, comfortable, and has an elevator The breakfast is fine though not elaborate and the rooms are large enough and comfortable, The staff is courteous and helpful. Sonora and the surrounding Southern Gold Country area of Columbia, Jamestown is wonderful and is is reasonably close proximity to Yosemite as well.

United StatesThe room was clean, but we did find some long hairs that were not ours on the comforter. There were no hangers in our room and that was a little inconvenient (but not inconvenient enough for us to request them so it wasn't that big of a deal). We really didn't like the A/C and heating unit. It was too loud and woke the kids throughout the night. The bathroom was just not great for young kids - there was no handheld shower hose option which make showers for the kids hard, and there was zero shelf space so we had to carry toiletries in and out of the bathroom constantly. And finally, the lights in the room were way too dim, making us feel like we had to squint at night.
The staff was very helpful. We stayed in a king room, and the bed was comfortable. The room was an ok size. The best thing about our stay was that the location was great - close to lots of good restaurants and cute stores.

United StatesThe pool towels is a huge issue and trying to get one is absolutely impossible! You need to fix that situation or the person!!! The breakfast seating is very busy and your cram people in a small area especially when you’re at full capacity. Why don’t you open the space up in the back of the hotel so people have room to breathe and not walking in to each other. I don’t like the community handles for the orange juice and milk. Individual contains would be more useful. I feel like the hotel is elegant but extremely cheap!!! You can’t even get a wine glass.
Nathan was absolutely the best and you are so lucky to have him!! He is full of information and helpful to new comers to the area. He was the best part about our stay!!!
