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 Stateseverything except the uncertainty of being able to verbally confirm our reservation prior to arriving (late).
the most lovely property with all the necessities along the water. the vibe of the redwoods and cabin was so special! very clean and comfortable! my kids really enjoyed swimming in the river and picking blackberries. only thing is that if you book later in the day and arrive after 3 the office is closed. booked through booking.com fyi. we arrived at 6pm and there was no one in the office and although we received a confirmation email with info letting us know that the registration papers and key that were supposed to avail outside the office for us were not there. a slight moment of panic with 2 little kids in the car and darkness descending. we had been trying to call since 4pm on our drive there, probably 20x, but no one answering the phone. I did alert the owner to maybe having a different # avail no one was around luckily they leave an emergency contact list outside the office so we were able to reach the owner who came down asap to check us in. our room had mistakingly not been cleaned yet even though it was 6pm, so she was king enough to upgraded us from cabin 6 to cabin 10, which had more space and an additional bedroom, which was so appreciated! this is a very special place, highly recommend but def try to to reach via phone before arriving to confirm your reservation. especially if booking late or through a 2nd party. I did alert the owner to maybe having a different # avail for guests to call to confirm the reservation.

United StatesThe cabin unfortunately has very thin walls - leaving us to listen to the family next door and their screaming children for most of our stay.

United StatesThe furniture and picnic table were very low in our cabin, but it was a minor inconvenience. From the car to the porch is very dark. It would be awesome if they could shed some light in those spots.
We stayed in cabin 4. Loved the location. The staff that runs the place are helpful. I don't know how they do it, they keep the cabins and grounds in excellent condition. There is barely a leaf on the ground. The cabins fabulous and neat as a pin. We will be back probably often. .

United KingdomA cold water on arrival would have been just a nice addition. The porch and picnic tables were a little dusty but inside was 5*. The lighting is a mixture of moody (gorgeous lamps) and then too bright kitchen area, its a darker cabin so it's hard to get right and at night very bright when eating. We were scared of the furnace and did get a little cold but maybe just different for us from the UK! Blankets were perfect and room warm at night without it.
Exactly how we pictured the stay , rustic cosy cabin updated just enough like the shower cubicle all functioning applicances good pans etc but love the vintage details (kitchen tiles) and WOW a whistling kettle (thank you from us Brits), Cabin 3 was actually perfectly tucked out the way by the river between amazing redwoods. The site is perfect for walks to Henry Cowell hikes although we didn't brave crossing the river to it; just listened to the water whilst wrapped in my blanket drinking tea on the deck. One evening we did the HC redwood loop the next day we headed all the way through to the top of the hills what amazing views and secenery on sandy trails and lovely birds. Everything you need in the cabin to feel like home and a very comfy bed and perfect stop on our californian tour to see even more redwoods and cabin in the redwoods was just amazing. Thanks to Lisa for a welcoming stay.

United StatesIt would be great if they had a basic convenience store that sold s’mores stuff, toiletries, lighters, drinks etc. I know this place is not about amenities, but they could run it off of a monthly Costco trip and make a good profit and serve their guests better!
I love this place. It’s rustic and basic, so of people expect “resort” they will be disappointed. To me it’s about unplugging, and connecting with nature.

United StatesThe only thing that keeps us from giving this a 10 is that it would have been ice if we'd known to bring our own coffee and filters. There's a coffee pot but no supplies. It's a couple of miles to a store or coffee shop, so it would have been nice to know that in advance. Otherwise we loved the place.
It is amazing to be right in the middle of magnificent redwoods and right on a small river. We love the well maintained old motel cabin look of the place.
