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.).

United KingdomMother Nature’s Inn was in a great location in Tahoe city. Close to the waterfront with many excellent restaurants for food and drinks. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The decor was in keeping with that of the area and culture and could see it had been carefully and thoughtfully put together.

NetherlandsThere’s no staff so it’s all very impersonal with automated messages and entry codes. The pictures of what seems to be the lobby is in fact the unrelated shop next door. The fridge is making a lot of noise.
Cozy comfy rooms with all facilities you need right next to the lake.

United StatesI found the mattress too cloudy and my preference is for a mattress to be firm, so I sleep more comfortably. This is a down side for me but for some people it may not be.
The hotel is well located in the main area of Tahoe City. Easy to grab a cup coffee when leaving in the morning and to get a meal at night. There are stores nearby to visit. It kind of "faces" Lake Tahoe - you cannot see the lake from your window - because it is on the main street, so every time you leave the property you will have the beautiful views of the lake. It is a good space for two people. The room is warm and well decorated accordingly to the place. There is a book in the room explaining how to handle the nature around the lake and we found it really useful.

United StatesRooms are a bit small and behind a shop on the main street. There is no front desk and when we visited, the shop was closed. Thankfully, we were able to call the owner and they were super responsive! (side note- if you are booking this place to ski at the Palisades Tahoe resort, leave early because there is a slow moving traffic from Tahoe City)
Great location, on the main street of the Tahoe City. You could walk to many restaurants and cafes in Tahoe City. Tesla charger is just a couple of mins away. Rooms are nicely done with a personal touch of mother nature theme. Checkin is seamless with a digital lock and unique code created for the booking.

South AfricaThe initial 8 day stay was good, however once my initial stay was up i booked another 3 nights because my work accommodation at Palisades ski resort was not ready yet, i then got a message from Palisades 2 hours after i had extended my stay at the inn for 3 nights to say that that my accommodation was now ready, however the Inn was not prepared to waiver the cancellation fee even though i cancelled very shortly (literally hours) after my booking which was extremely disappointing considering i had just paid for an 8 day stay at the Inn. Booking.com sent the Inn a message requesting the waiver of the cancellation fee but this was ignored by the Inn.
Location was good right in the middle of Lake Tahoe town. All the communication with the Inn back and forth before my stay was excellent. All Queries were answered timeously.

United StatesIt is too hard to answer this question, because I can not think about anything I didn't like. Everything is excellent even exceeded my expectations! Ok, I must say... the answer is ZERO!
We enjoyed our time in Mather Nature's Inn! Not only my husband and I and my two kids, but also my giant puppy German shepherd Leo. It’s impressive that so many details about wood, bear, natural fill in the room, so designed and creative! I love the style! 👍 And the location is great, we could easily walk to the supermarket and the good restaurants in less than 10 minutes! We are looking forward to spend a couple of days here in summer !

United States1. They charge less on their direct website than on Booking. I’ve been booking.com customer for years, I like my rewards, and I like experience booking on the app and I feel very disappointed to find out that the hotel charge booking.com customers more. Next time I will still book on Booking, but probably not this hotel. 2. They don’t have reception, on one side it’s nice, as I enjoyed easy self check in, but on other hand when you need something, you can’t get ahold of anyone. 3. Their Wifi s bad
Nice location, easy check in.

United StatesMother's Nature's Inn is a quaint spot with a friendly and welcoming staff via phone only, and our room was clean. However, it's worth noting that the facility itself seems a bit run down. It's a fine choice for a one-night stopover when you're passing through the area, but it might not be the best for an extended stay.

SingaporeWe stayed for 2 nights per paid around US$300 a night. There was no housekeeping. It could be usual but we saw a card at the bathroom stating if you would like your towels changed place them on the floor. So we did and returned to the room in the evening with no towels changed. Left with damp towels for the second night. The motel also felt like built w thin materials, could hear the neighbors sounds. No lake view from room too.
Cute deco, great location near the lakeside, shops and restaurants.
