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 StatesThe cost was not on par with the accommodations. Our last night (Sunday) the parking lot was empty, yet we paid a premium price!!!?! Maybe should have shopped around a little more for accommodations. But Tahoe, in general, is expensive in the summer time
Location to shops/food/beach in Tahoe city was great. Very good communications and response time is excellent by hotel staff.

IndiaThe location of the property was in middle of the city with a Safeway next door. The room was clean and heated. The bathroom seems to be renovated and all the faucets etc were looking new. Check in and check out was quick too. There were many restaurants in walking distance.

United StatesSnow and ice covered back stairs from office are a liability - shoveling the walk in front of my room at 6 am? Need to remind guests that standing in front of ground level rooms at 7 am yammering at each other will quite possibly wake other guests.

United StatesThere was some deferred maintenance present, and a deep clean isn’t something we gathered to have been done anytime in recent history.
Location is amazing, and compared to other properties available we felt like we got good value. We also liked that the room had a microwave and small counter space so we could make snacks and such in-room.

This is a great spot to stay after/before a day on the slopes. Its location to fun food spots is fantastic. It's clean and comfortable, even if a little dated.

United StatesAll was good. I would have loved softer towels, but the ones we had were just fine.
The Inn at Boatworks is super convenient to get to the slopes and also for dining and shopping nearby. It is older yet very comfortable and clean. You are walking distance to all sorts of food and stores you might want.

United StatesNo housekeeping. For a stay of 2 or more nights you would expect bed to be made & attention given to bathroom supplies such as towels, etc.
Location was convenient. However, at check-in we were told not to leave anything in the car. That made us wonder about the security of the property.

United StatesThere was nothing that we didn't like! Our room was clean, comfortable and quiet.
The Inn at Boatworks is located in Tahoe City on the west side of Lake Tahoe. We loved the location because it had plenty of dining options within walking distance and was also close to the bike/walking trails that go around the lakeshore. We requested a wheelchair accessible room for my husband who is a bilateral amputee. One of our biggest challenges while traveling is finding accommodations that are truly wheelchair accessible. Keeping in mind that everyone has different physical abilities, here is what we experienced in Room 8, which is their wheelchair accessible king room. This room had plenty of space for my husband to maneuver around the side of the bed in his manual wheelchair. The bathroom was spacious, with room to roll comfortably under the sink, adequate grab bars near the toilet and a huge roll-in shower that had an easy-to-reach handheld shower head as well as an overhead showerhead. This room included a refrigerator and microwave oven, the bed was very comfortable, and the room was very clean. We would definitely stay here again on our future trips to Lake Tahoe.
