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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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):
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.
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.).

United StatesIt puzzles me that this "resort" has a space for a restaurant and yet feels there is no need to occupy that space.
The view. The room is small for the price in the off season.

United StatesThe lodge is located next to a bridge that crosses the lake and is noisy. Not a huge problem, but still there. The hotel could use a restaurant and bar because there is nothing in walking distance.
We really enjoyed our three night stay in a fabulous suite with a view of the lake! The balcony was large and we spent a lot of time there enjoying the view of the lake! The water was warm enough and took several swims from the lodge. We also liked being out of Sandpoint but within 5 minute striking distance. Would stay here again for sure!

United StatesThere is no breakfast. Their site states "continental", but it's only Costco muffins and biscotti. Also some small apples. The room had a full kitchen minus a stove/oven. We were unable to cook any of our own meals. There's a gas fireplace in the room and we could see the pilot light burning, but perhaps it has a bad thermostat. The gal at the front desk offered to come up and "wiggle" something to try and get it working...we didn't think that was the proper answer to the situation, and we declined the offer. Also, the deadbolt didn't latch. We lifted up on the door a little and got it started, but it needs to be properly installed in order to be used. We paid $500 per night.
We made late reservations and got a very nice, comfy room with a large kitchen. However, there is no oven or stove. The deck was the highlight with great views of The Long Bridge into Sandpoint, and we saw the most beautiful sunsets. The furniture and bed were super comfy. This is a large one bedroom apartment.

United StatesWould prefer a little more option for breakfast if possible. Doesn’t have to be a big hot spread as I understand there is a lot of waste with that
Beautiful property. Will be traveling with my dog in the future which they can’t accommodate. I understand why if others in the past didn’t follow the rules ect. Just probably won’t be able to stay here in the future for that reason. Beautiful view. Booking site needs to update no pets and be more clear if you do or don’t get a water view. Not the hotels fault though.

United StatesMy only complaint was that in a 3 night stay housekeeping never cleaned the room. No clean towels or made bed, trash was overflowing.
The location was great, the view of the lake was amazing. The rooms were spacious & well furnished. The staff was accommodating for some special requests.

United StatesThe hallway to our room smelled really bad. The walls are very thin so could hear when the people above us walked and flushed the toilet. They shouldn’t advertise a breakfast. It was just Costco muffins, green bananas and granola bars. It would’ve been a much nicer experience if we had a view of the lake. The hotel was not at full capacity so not sure why they didn’t have all their guests facing the lake instead of the parking lot.
The day staff were very sweet and friendly. The view from the lobby on the deck was beautiful and had comfortable seating.
