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 reviewI like the separation of bedrooms and a little Casitas was great and that the backyard was all fenced in so my dog could run around. Enjoy it. Spa was good. Kitchen worked very well coffee pot worked thank God refrigerator was clean ready to put my food in it.
Had a hard time working the TV and trying to use the DVR. The directions weren’t exactly right, but we did get it working. The cable was a little short from the DVR to the TV.

Verified reviewThe property was very nice and secluded. We were able to have a good time and enjoy the pool.
The WiFi would have been better, we didn’t use it because it wasn’t very good. The pool was also smaller than we anticipated.

Verified reviewVery spacious, facilities were in working condition, kitchen was well stocked, and the jacuzzi was already warm when we decided to use it.
There was a decaying goopy mouse in the living room that stunk up the entire main house when we first walked in. We called the host and they replied promptly that they could send someone over in time or I could get a guy in the group to take care of it. When I inquired about late check out, it would have cost $40. The main house and side guest house were filled with spiders and other dead insects.

Verified reviewThe Highland Hideaway Compound was perfect for us. Very unique and clean. All 4 of us men had our own space, plus, the common areas were comfortable. The beds were comfortable. The hot tub was a great feature, with a great view, after 4 days of hiking. I would have liked to stay another day.
I don't know, everyone seemed happy. Maybe, a butler, chef and a maid.

Verified reviewWe loved the location of the house in a secluded residential area close to the park entrance. The house and the adjacent ADU provided plenty of space for our family and friends. We like the style of the property with an artistic touch. Sarah, our host was fast and effective in responding to our needs.

Verified reviewThe location was beautiful, the beds were comfortable. Really roomy. Gorgeous views. We enjoyed use of the porch and hot tub. Everything was really wonderful and the price point was fantastic. Close to town, but far enough for some privacy.

Verified reviewOverall the house was amazing. The little lights that were strung above the living room area/kitchen were a nice touch. The fire place heater was amazing at night as well as the outdoor hot tub. The location was also a great bonus being so close to the main entrance.

Verified reviewThe location is fantastic for stargazing. The jacuzzi was the highlight of the trip. We brought large speakers and were able to play music and have a good time without disturbing any neighbors. The beds were super comfortable and very large. I will definitely rent this property again for my Joshua tree trips.
