“A bit pricey but a nice stay close to Yosemite National Park entrance”
The room was nice, the bed decent, the shower was amazing, and the hot tub excellent. The check in staff was friendly although a bit hard to understand. There’s a park across the street and the area was very nice. The negatives: the housekeeping storage was right next door and the noise was loud in… more

“Good location and fine for the price”
Stayed on two separate nights. The room on my first night was quite dated and I had to switch the fridge off as it made such a racket, I couldn't sleep! The room on my return however, looked like it had been refurbished and was much nicer. The location is easy to find, being right on the main roa… more

“Charming vibe but faulty infrastructure”
I stayed with my mom and my brother for our vacation to Yosemite. The hotel's vibe is charming and on-theme. But, my main issue was that the power outlets in our room were too loose; all of our chargers kept falling out. (We had to prop them up or use portable batteries.) Also, a wall in the bathro… more

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
