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 StatesI have no complaints.
The location was fantastic. We were able to park the car and walk around Main Street and check out the shops and have a drink. It was a very quiet location and building. We were in the Mint room and the bed was probably one of the most comfortable I’ve experienced. Walker was very welcoming and helpful with recommendations. Whitney prepared a delicious breakfast and was also very friendly.

United KingdomSome of the light switches in our room didn’t work, but it wasn’t a big deal.
The rooms are beautiful, breakfast and afternoon baked goods are always delicious, and the location for Bar Harbor and Acadia Park is perfect. Walker on the front desk is super friendly and helpful- his customer service is second to none.

Lucky to find this one on arrival in Bar Harbor in peak leaf peeping season. If you like history, this place is for you. Two town houses beautifully converted into bed and breakfast accommodation with historic furniture and hiding away just behind the main street. Staff could not have been more pleasant and helpful, especially Marina (all the way from Serbia) and Walker. Breakfasts are cooked to order - very nice and original but not contemporary US breakfasts. Forget the brick, glass and concrete hotels and come and stay here. Highly recommended.

United StatesWhat truly sets the Bass Cottage Inn apart is its kind and attentive staff! Echo, Marina and Walker went above and beyond to ensure our stay was as pleasant as possible. The cozy room was a highlight too. The location itself is amazing! We were only a short stroll away from the picturesque harbor and around 15 minutes away from Acadia National Park.

United StatesEverything about our stay was over the top!!! From the moment we arrived to 'high tea's, our quaint well decorated room in Ullikana Cottage, to the location in downtown Bar Harbor overlooking the green and the water... Thank you Walker and your Mom for the delightful breakfast and conversation. Although our home in Colorado is quite a distance, away, we will hold our stay here in our fond memories 😊

United StatesWhile a few bugs were present (expected in a forest setting), and the breakfast could have been more flavorful, the overall experience was delightful.
Bass Cottage Inn charmed us with its comfortable, air-conditioned rooms and attentive staff. The B&B's location, steps from downtown Bar Harbor, was perfect. We loved sipping coffee in the Adirondack chairs while watching boats in the morning and the rooms were cozy, and the bed was comfortable!

United StatesThe only thing we didn’t love was getting to/from the property. Once on-site you (and your vehicle) are tucked away from the bustle of downtown and everything is walkable. BUT if you are coming and going during the day…make sure you have an extra share of patience to navigate vehicle and pedestrian traffic 😄
Loved the step back in time feel coupled with modern amenities! Breakfast was delicious each day we attended.
