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.).

The full size mattress was a bit soft.
We were a group of four friends (1 guy & 3 ladies) traveling together so the availability of three beds was essential to us. The cabin was older but was clean and equipped to meet all the basic needs. We loved the well equipped kitchen. The bathroom even had bath robes, makeup remover and disposable slippers! Free coffee, juice and mini muffins were offered in the office.

I thought that I had reserved a cabin and instead was given a motel room. However, the room was still enormous and quiet.
The room was huge and very comfortable for me and my two kiddos. I was concerned about arriving late, but when I called the gentleman I spoke with was very helpful and I later received an email with my room number and pertinent information.

Furniture and carpet were visibly dirty. Bathroom: above shower drywall was coming off and bubbled. Spa was empty, and when I booked, it said nothing about the spa not being available. We probably would not stay there again.
Location was good, close to town.

Needs a lot of TLC. Minimum outlets, heat didn't work and water was luke warm in shower. There weren't any nightstands, shelves or hooks for personal items (there was a shelf in the closet but suitcases had to go on the floor). Price was high for rental but maybe you're paying to be close to the mountains?
Nice location. Clean and bed was comfortable.

Air conditioner didn’t work properly and died the last night there. Front door handle kept coming off. Stove was missing a burner. Lots of little bugs coming in from the cracks around windows and doors. No instructions for the tv and a remote that controlled the tv. With a little upkeep, these cabins would be great. Oh, and the sheets kept coming loose. Maybe get some sheets that fit better or a strap thingy that holds them in place.
Lots of hot water. Nice grassy area for dogs. Good location.

- • Family with young children
- • One-Bedroom Chalet
- • Stayed 2 nights
The motel room smelled so stale I was almost overcome. I don't think it was cigarette smoke, but it was just so stale - was it the carpet or other soft furnishings? The air conditioner was incredibly noisy.
False advertising: I booked with Idle a While Cabins, not Idle a While motel. They are on the same site, and are the same business, but I booked a cabin and was given a motel room. The price was good for the cabin but not good for the room, which had no cooking facilities. However, the internet was satisfactory and the location was convenient to town.

- • Family with young children

Where do I start? It's very run down. A/C units were recently added, but they're "insulated" into the wall with towels shoved into the gap, and wasps could get in through the cracks. The bathroom sink was clogged, several light bulbs were burned out, making the whole place very dark, the TV didn't work at all, the kitchen "knives" couldn't cut butter, and the furniture is from the early 90s and pretty gross- looking. We covered it all with sheets we'd brought to protect the furniture from dog hair, but it ended up being a 2-way thing. The pillows are very flat and stiff, the sort you can get at Walmart for $5 for a 2 pack, and we regretted not bringing our own.
The sheets and towels were clean, and the mattress fairly comfortable. The location is great, and there's a huge grass lawn behind the cabins that is great for people traveling with dogs.

Where to start, No one to greet us Lots of insects in the cabin AC did not work very well Food left on the floor Toilet seat that only fits 10 and under Shower was moldy Given the choice of driving to Omak or Wenatchee keep driving or sleep in your car. At half the price it would have been overpriced.
Not much
