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.).

The Inn is beautiful and so comfortable. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. They also went out of their way to make sure that our teenager was comfortable and having a good time. Food was excellent!

United KingdomThe only draw back was the parking on the street outside the Hotel which whilst never posing a problem in getting a spot was a bit concerning due to the narrowness of the street and the number of cars, trucks and buses passing. It was possible to park a bit further away at a wider part of the road but this could be busy.
The staff were excellent and friendly and the service well organised and efficient. The breakfast was good and met all our needs. We ate in the Hotel twice once with guests and the food was excellent and very good value for the price.

CanadaVery accommodating staff. We needed a place to put our bicycles and they were able to help us. Food was good and the breakfast was more than we could eat. Close to the water so an easy walk. If you are using Google to find the location it takes you to the wrong place. It is a little further down the road.

United KingdomWe stayed here for one night on our way back from Bonar Bridge. It was a last minute decision to have a stop over on our way back to Derbyshire. So glad we did it's a great place. As soon as we arrived we were welcomed by very friendly and helpful staff and we were shown to our room and offered help with our bags. The room was clean and very comfortable with everything you need and more. We hadn't booked for dinner and although they were fully booked they fitted us in and the food was gorgeous with excellent service bearing in mind how busy they were. Breakfast was also gorgeous with quality bacon sausage etc and a wide choice of continental, cereals, fruit, and everything you expect from a good buffet breakfast BUT all served freshly to order to your table and it was absolutely fantastic. Overall a lovely little hotel with lovely rooms, lovely staff, lovely food and a lovely atmosphere. The only thing we didn't like was that we couldn't stay longer👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰
