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 reviewLocation
When we arrived at the house it was really hot. It took very long to get it cooler and we only stayed for one night. One bedroom was to hot to sleep so they slept on the couch.

Verified reviewWe stayed at the house with two Families and it was beyond amazing. I have never been in a vacation home which was so well equiped and everything was labeled and totally easy to find or grab. From first contact with Finn, till walking into the door it was just perfect. Feld like coming home right away. Everything was clean and of very high quality. Our daugther was obsessed with jumping in the pool and just having a great time in the huge backyard. We wish we could have stayed longer. We Highly recommend this place.
Nothing to say, everything was perfekt!

Verified reviewFabulous place to spread out in for 2 weeks. We had friends and family rotate through for 2 weeks. The kitchen is great, the laundry facilities are new and clean. The outside facilities are great: coyote tub, hot pool, mini golf. And of course climbing in JT! Best of all, Finn was a fabulous host- responsive to questions, setting up facilities to make our prolonged stay the best possible. Thanks Finn!
No vegetable peeler ( but we may have missed it in the fully-stocked kitchen!) 🙂

Verified reviewGreat place for families! Plenty of room for the 8 of us. Fun vintage video games, BIG backyard. My grandson and I enjoyed riding our mountain bikes in the backyard. We enjoyed the hammocks for stargazing. Sunrise coffee out back was special. Plenty of parking in the front. Close to the National Park entrance. Buy your pass ahead of time at the visitor center to save time at the entrance line. Hike Hidden Valley!
Nothing...don't let the short amount of dirt road scare you, it's hard packed and fine!

Verified reviewThe Way Out Ranch is an outstanding home with an outstanding, accommodating, and amazingly helpful host in Finn. Great dining choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner were just 5 minutes away. Also, the entrance to Joshua Tree National Park was an easy 10 minute drive. So many activities at the house, you might not even need to leave! Big dog-friendly backyard, 7-hole putt-putt golf course, hot tub, TV, well stocked kitchen, comfy beds - all top notch! Highly recommend!
We didn't like leaving. Wish our stay could have been longer.

Verified reviewThis property is AMAZING! The host did a great job making the home what it is -- a magical Joshua Tree getaway. Super clean upon entry and we felt at home immediately. The bedrooms each have their own decor and vibe. The art work is super unique and well organized throughout the home. There are multiple old school arcade style video games (NBA Jams, etc.) in the home which I thought was a really cool touch. Joshua trees litter the property and stretch all the way to the fence line in the back yard. There are Burning Man style bikes you can ride on the property and/or through the neighborhood. Hot tub in the backyard with a hammock tree and a mini-put golf course. Gas grill and a charcoal grill with a fire pit. There's a wood burning stove in the living room and stainless steal appliances throughout. It's super nice. The bathrooms are all very clean. One of them is an open-concept shower with Spanish tile decor -- it's beautiful. We had a wonderful time at the home and will absolutely be back. Strongly recommended!!!
We loved everything. We have no complaints and we can't wait to get back to this property. You'll be very happy with this host and the property itself.
