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 StatesThis is a good motel - freshly renovated and in excellent location (Redwood park 10 min away). No breakfast but a cafe ($$$) nearby. But the price is excessive for this type of accommodation

United StatesThe cabin we stayed in was a little far of a walk from parking and there was no light at night along the pathway to the cabin. The stairs were slippery due to rain with no grip tape on them and my friend fell on them . The cabin was freezing when we arrived but did warm up after turning on heat for 30 min . It’s a rustic cabin for sure , could use some homey touches and there were party lights outside but not turned on as they were over by the motel .

PhilippinesThe bed was not sturdy enough and for someone with back problem it might be an issue. The sheets were clean tho you can see visible stains. Be aware also that front desk is only until 5pm daily which might cause issue if you are a walk-in or don’t follow their online check-in instructions.
The location of the property is just near restaurants and cafes and along the road. It has a swimming pool but closed at the time of our stay since it is winter. The front desk (Navi) was very helpful and allowed us to check-in early so we can attend the online conference we had. The room was clean enough tho quite small but value for money.

United StatesThere are some improvements that needs to addressed. 1. toilet set doesn’t hold up. 2. coat hanger from the entrance is loose. 3. sliding door in the living room is broken. 4. bed sheets and towels have stains. 5. during checkout, the staff doesn’t seem to be interested when i was talking. that person needs to be a little friendly in my opinion.
The cabin is nice for the location.

United StatesCoffee maker didn't work. Bunk bed in cabin wasn't a real bunk bed only the bottom which was small but perfect fit for kids. Parking could be a little closer for the cabins as we had to lug all our things to the room. Our balcony/porch wasn't open when we were there. I think they were repairing it. That would've been nice to have morning coffee on and meals outside. Maybe next time.
We loved the upgrade to the cabin. More space is always welcome. The pool was clean and it was a nice size. Never got crowded when we were there. Super friendly staff. Easy check in and out. Close to Armstrong Redwoods, Goat Rock Beach, a Safeway market and eateries & restaurants.

United StatesPatio was in accessible because they need to replace them. We were not alerted to this issue prior to our stay or during check in. It was a one of the reasons I chose the place. Cabin had a moldy stale smell.
The location is a great spot and beautiful with all the trees. Pool is a nice size and well maintained. Queen bed in room was comfortable. Stocked toiletries in bathroom was a nice amenity. Dog and kid friendly.

United StatesWe appreciated having the cabin, but it had a double bed, which was very hard for my very tall husband to fit into (and why we booked the king sized bed to begin with). And there was construction being done, which we respect and appreciate. However, the communication that we were moved to the cabin was not passed along and before 9am, there was drilling and loud work being done on the deck of the cabin which we had to ask the staff and workers to stop. It was very unfortunate to be disrupted that way due to poor communication, even with the unexpected changes in room that we had. The first cabin we were moved into had a broken sofa bed (literally sticking out into the air) and someone had clearly slept in the bed (we were moved to a 2nd cabin). While responsive, the staff did not seem to know what was happening at the property to coordinate a more seamless and relaxing stay. For the price, we likely would not stay again after a moderate amount of hassle that was resolved, but not what we were looking for for just 2 days away.
The staff was very responsive. When we arrived, our reserved room with king sized bed was not available for what we were told was 'various reasons'. We were upgraded to a cabin. Check-in and out very easy and can be done online. The location is incredible with picnic benches to sit under the redwoods to have dinner when staying in the cabins. The cabins are delightful with a small and functional kitchen and good sized bathroom and great shower.

United StatesSort of loud being next to the road and a lot of visitors were loud early in the morning. Didn’t like the window right in front and that being the only natural light source. No privacy if you want natural light in your room.
