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 reviewThis house had really all the facilities and equipment we needed (except a corkscrew) 😀
We liked everything, it is in the middle of know here but that was the reason to book it
Thank you, Martin, for your kind words! We will take note of adding a new corkscrew for the property. You are welcome back again anytime soon :)

Verified reviewThis place is lovely. The whole place has a really coherant feel and is very relaxing. Nice touches like heaters for all the rooms - it can get cold in the desert. The pacman aracade was great fun. The garden has been really well design to create lots of lovely areas to relax in.
The place lost a few points for host management 1) they messaged before the stay to ask for an extra $500 deposit. We did not pay this as it was outside of booking.com. 2) They also asked for very personal information for each of the guests staying, which we didn't provide either. 3) they sent a hot tub cleaner on the morning of our departure at 9.30am - which meant a) we were disturbed and b) couldn't use the hot tub 4) the cleaners were waiting for us to leave on departure before 11am - nothing quite like feeling rushed out of a property to ruin a nice relaxing weekend.

Verified reviewThe place is wonderful. After hiking in the morning, it was just great to relax in the backyard and the hot tub. The pans and pots in the kitchen could get some upgrade, but regardless, our stay was perfect. The check-in instructions were easy to follow.

Verified reviewOne of the best is an air mattress you need to put up yourself - which is not mentioned in the description. The renter also tried to charge me $100 afterwards for a broken shower faucet - which we didn’t break.

Verified reviewThe home is spacious and the location is near the entrance to the park.
It was very dirty. Judging on other reviews I must have caught their cleaners on an off day but the home really was not comfortable due to the level of hair, crumbs and dust. It was so bad that I cut my stay short and moved to a hotel. There were clumps of hair in the bathroom sink, old food in the kitchen sink, rotting food between the fridge and the counter, old/used bath towels from previous guests left out, broken closet door, etc. There were also a couple plants in really rough shape (not being cared for) and many of the pots outside were on their side / strewn about. There was a real sense that no one is actually caring for the property. When I mentioned the dirt/mess I expected they’d send someone by to clean properly. But instead they left me a “gift basket” which was a plastic container from the dollar store with some plastic flowers, grape juice and chocolates. When I asked for a refund for the nights I didn’t stay at the property they denied the request and haven’t responded to the photos of the mess I emailed to them. There’s lots of good places to stay in Joshua Tree. This just isn’t one of them.
Hello Rachel, Thank you for your Stay and Review! We take Pride in our property and we try to maintain the home to our utmost Highest Standards. My cleaners send me pictures of my home as soon as they are done cleaning the place and I let them know if there is something that does not look right to me or needs to be fixed. If there were issues with our house, you could have communicated this to us right away. The only thing you asked us about was the Cowboy Tub that you wanted to fill-up which was clearly stated on my Listing that it is Seasonal and is Closed for the Winter. We tried to communicate with you plenty of times but you did not respond. We even sent "gifts" and our Hot Tub Cleaning Lady to check on you and the home but you did not answer the door. The wind has been really strong lately because of the major storms coming through Southern California and our region is not immune to this, especially in the High Desert where winds can go up to gusts of up to 130 mph, so a lot of the plants in their respective pots got knocked down. This is definitely an Outlier of an event as almost all of my Guest Reviews are high scores.
