Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United States of AmericaWe loved everything, but was different because it felt like an old style bed & breakfast. Wonderful, but we have a son with Autism and were worried about him being too loud as we were guests in the house where others resided. However, the hosts assured us that we were welcome. I just had a lot of worry over bothering the hosts. Our son can get loud and at 3 am will start singing loudly from the Shrek musical. He is an adult, so I am sure it could be disruptive.
Beautiful home, gardens, excellent breakfast, friendly hosts. Great location to the Alaska Ferry. We were very happy with our stay and would definitely stay here again.

United States of AmericaEverything was excellent. We loved this place although the other guests and hosts unfortunately were awakened by us being quite loud on one of the nights after coming back from a concert. So sorry!! We didn’t realize how loud we were being and how much it carried. So if you stay here just be cognizant of your noise level. Probably not the most appropriate for a loud bunch of girls. Thank you to the hosts for still being kind and gracious in spite of the one loud night.
Sehome Garden Inn is absolutely beautiful! We stayed in a small suite at the back of the house. It was made up of a living room, small dining area and a small refrigerator, kettle and microwave. There were beautiful dishes available and cold water in beautiful bottles in the fridge. The bathroom shower is luxurious with a rain shower head and beautiful tile. The towels are soft and fluffy. The bedroom is small but comfy with mid century modern style and so cute! Everywhere in the apartment you will find lovely design elements including Japanese art and wool Pendleton blankets. The bed in the living room is a pull out sofa that is probably a double bed not a queen size. The house is on an acre of lovely garden that you are welcome to walk around in. There are Japanese arelia flanking the door, several different bamboo species, and a couple huge gorgeous Madrona trees at the entrance gate. I had fun identifying some of the different conifers scattered around the property. We were served breakfast in our suite both mornings, with homemade jam and fresh squeezed orange juice, and the hosts are amazing!! Everything was gluten free too, which was a wonderful surprise because I have celiac disease and I hadn’t even mentioned that on booking.

The breakfast was delicious and the scones and homegrown/homemade jams were so yum!!! I am so glad they were gluten free so I can have them and tell you how good they were!

I loved everything about Sehome Garden Inn. It was a gorgeous, comfortable, super clean, comfy, and safe place in a lovely area of Bellingham. The hosts are wonderful and kind. Breakfast was delicious. The bed was super comfortable. The shower was fantastic, strong, and it felt like a spa. The soap, shampoo & conditioner are all natural and ‘healthy’ products. They have a ‘real’ (big- normal sized handheld) hairdryer (not the tiny ones mounted to a wall in hotels/motels!) You can do laundry there too!!!!! A huge luxury when traveling (and doing lots of hiking). And they have two friendly dogs and a cat!
