How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewStunning location. Very nice decor. Friendly staff. Good food. Good drinks. Onsite laundry (washing machine and dryer for $2 each, which was superb place to refresh clothes!)
Only 1 bathroom for a 2 bed cottage for 5 people. No cutlery or crockery in the cottage, so had to ask- Took ages. Not enough towels - again had to ask and took longer than expected.
Hello, Thank you so much for your kind review and for choosing to stay with us! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the stunning location, our decor, food and drinks, as well as the convenience of our onsite laundry. It's also great to know our team left a positive impression! We appreciate your feedback regarding the cottage amenities. We're sorry to hear about the delay in getting cutlery, crockery, and towels to you — that’s certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, and we'll be reviewing this with our team to ensure we're more responsive moving forward. We hope to welcome you back again soon for an even smoother and more comfortable stay! Emali and the Firefall Ranch team

Verified reviewThe food was good but both restaurants had the same menu for lunch and dinner, so we got tired of what was available. You can't stay on premises for 6 days on one menu no matter how good. They could offer daily specials to keep it interesting. Desk staff were friendly and helpful. Housekeeping did not replenish our coffee or supplies unless we asked and did not come everyday as promised. The amenities are concentrated outside the cabins in recreation activities like pool, fire pits, game room. There are few creature comforts in the cabins.
The cabins are spare, far apart and very minimalist. For the price, I thought it would be a lot more luxurious. We had a three bedroom cabin and there were no closets or drawers for clothing or toiletries or hopefully empty suitcases. It gets messy when you have to use your suitcase for a drawer. We had a rack in the room with 6-8 hangers, but that is of little help to travelers. The bath is not equipped to have towels ready when your shower is over, as it only has one hook and no racks or shelves! You have to get them from an adjacent sink room with no door which can be seen from the living area if you don't shut your bedroom door. Awkward! The toilet was dirty when we arrived and still was the same when we left. There was no way I could scrub it. We ran out of coffee pods twice because they only gave us 6 when the cabin sleeps much more. I had 4 cabins for our group and asked if they could be close together. They were as far apart as you could get them. The drive to Yosemite is really far when you factor in the traffic. Plan to spend a lot of time in your car if you stay here. Lastly, but importantly, the pool is not exclusive for guest use and does not have waiter service even though there is a bar and restaurant nearby. The hotel sells day passes to people who are not staying in the hotel, so the pool is busy and loud in the day time. This hotel is more $$$$ than a Four Seasons, but not on the same plane by any means.

Verified reviewThe property was amazing! More than I anticipated, property is beautiful. Kids were well entertained. Lots of activities to keep my kids busy and enjoyed the stay just as much. The amenities were excellent. They have horse riding that was so fun staff very friendly and very experienced. We only stayed two nights and had a great time.
Bikes were first come first serve. Customers used to ride to their cabin and parked there, no standard rules for return time. We didn’t get the opportunity to ride bikes. Restaurant only offered pool service And Complimentary water one night only. Restaurants menu is limited. Overpriced for what was offered. The resort is kid friendly but food did not a match for a kid friendly environment. I ordered separate items to make it work. Being the options for restaurants are few in the area, it would be nice to have some basics as well as fine dining food. Store items really over priced that didn’t make sense A sticker was 5$ each, while a stuffed animal was 15$
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're happy to hear that our property exceeded your original expectations on most aspects and that your family had a great time enjoying the different amenities we have to offer. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the bike availability, dining options, and store pricing. We're always working to improve our dining experience and we appreciate the mention of wanting more child-friendly menu options. As for the store pricing, we are in a remote location and often base our pricing off of the price to purchase from the original retailers. These are going to vary across different brands and will be one of the main reasons you see price discrepancies across various items. We appreciate your feedback and I will definitely share your comments with the correct departments so that we can continue to improve for our future guests. We hope we are able to welcome you and your family back in the future and provide an even better stay.

Verified reviewLarge rooms, nice swimming pool.
Large room windows without curtains meant you could not sleep past sunrise. Restaurant was under-staffed or poorly managed. Location was too far from Yosemite over 30 min+ drive away.
