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 StatesFor the price I expected more in room amenities. Also some sort of continental breakfast like they used to offer.
Room spacious and clean and beds very comfortable. Lovely grounds, attentive staff.

The hotel is in the middle of nature, feels like a building from a fairy tale. The staff is pleasant and welcoming. If we had known about the area before, we would have stayed there for another night. Highly recommend

United StatesMy only issue was that when I went to check out, no one was at the front desk. I tried calling it from a phone in the entry way, but the ringer was extremely low so no one heard it. I almost had to just leave a note with my room key to let them know I left, but then someone showed up right before I did that. I know we checked out much earlier than most people do because we had a long drive ahead of us so we needed an early start, so I just assume they weren't used to having people check out that early. I'm not bothered by it and I didn't let it affect my otherwise wonderful experience.
This hotel is a gem. I love its traditional style rather than a modern basic style like every other hotel. That gave it a more unique experience for me. The staff was wonderful, but I want to give extra kudos to the lady at the front desk that works the afternoon/evening shift. I loved her personality, and she was always helpful and nice. I also love the location of this place. It feels so remote, yet it's so close to downtown and to Buttermilk Falls State Park. Our room also had an amazing view, especially during sunset. The room was comfortable and the beds, especially the pillows, were amazing. The bathroom was the biggest hotel bathroom I've ever seen and it felt luxurious. Everything was clean and cozy. I wish I had time to stay longer so I could have had time to check out the spa. If I'm ever back in this area, I will be staying here again.

United StatesThere are dressers in the room. I had no place to put my underwear and pajamas. They remained in the suitcase which was inconvenient. My other clothes hung in the closet. Unfortunately, my room was either and ice cube or no air at all. The air conditioner circuit breaker was reset and the room was a freezer. Also, the $7 continental breakfast was a good buy except the yogurt area was a big. Owl of yogurt and not individual containers. Or sneeze guard which makes this unsanitary. Also they were no tongs to grab bagels also not sanitary. Once these areas improve, I think it would be a great place to visit again. The bed was comfy and the area was quiet.
Comfortable bed. Free coffee. Clean facilities. I’ve stayed here before under the previous owners. The property received a stylish update but still has its former charm

United StatesAbsolutely loved our stay at this hotel. It was a last minute booking and am so glad they had one night available. The room was absolutely stunning and the jet bath tub was divine. Loved that my partner and I were able to sit and read at the pond and were able to enjoy the sauna the next morning before we left. Highly recommend this hotel!

United StatesIt was perfect and I really liked the location. It was peaceful and quiet but a quick 10min drive to Ithaca. I also noticed that it is close to many of the state parks and areas of interest.
I only stayed at the hotel for one night on my way to see family in Canada. It was also my first time in Ithaca and I enjoyed my stay immensely. I didn't take advantage of the breakfast or the spa since my stay was short but I look forward to my next (longer) visit.
