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 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 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.).

Breakfast was excellent! Banana pancakes a huge hit and the eggs my 4 year old loved because they have a secret ingredient in them!!!! Accommodations were charming, spacious and we loved the heart shape tub!!!

United StatesAs Helen is an alpine village, there are hills that need climbing. Nearly all the parking lots in town are either $5 or $10 depending on distance from the town center. If you can walk it, leave your car in the B&B's parking lots. If you are familiar with Gatlinburg, Helen is a smaller, more intimate version. It's more compact. There are about 400-500 people living in Helen year round and 1.5 million people visit it each year (off from 3 mill in 2015); it's the third most visited city in Georgia. As far as the Black Forest B&B, I would prefer to have the breakfast before 8 and coffee available by 6:30 instead of 8:30 and 8:00. The parking is a problem, obviously. he B&B has enough spaces for a dozen cars, but they are cramped and the driveway feels like it is nearly vertical trying to back onto the Main Street in town. It's doable, but scary sometimes.
The Black Forest B&B is within walking distance of almost everything in Helen. The room we had was on the second level and there were 3-4 more levels above us. The second level is 12 steps up while the top level is 48 steps. The large room had a queen bed and a heart shaped Jacuzzi, wi-fi, fireplace with gas logs and did not have a duvet (a plus in my mind). The receptionist gave us maps of nearly everything in the local area, made suggestions for things to do and where to eat. Don't miss the Hofbrau Haus pork hock but bring an appetite, it's wonderful and huge, only 500 feet from the B&B. In the middle of November, the Christmas lights were almost all up and the music and festivities were starting up. Octoberfest is a great time to go, too. Recommendation, don't go to Helen from the second week in January to the first of April as the town mostly shuts down then, including many restaurants and most shops and attractions.

United StatesWe ended up in one of the cabins, and we were blown away! The cabins are spacious, spotless, and totally adorable in a kitschy, vintage-y way. We loved sitting on the balcony in the evening and enjoying the fresh air. Breakfast was great. They provided some fresh fruit, decent coffee, real eggs (scrambled), and some totally delicious pancakes. We really loved the location. It's quietly nestled into the hillside, and is walking distance to everything in town. We felt welcomed and relaxed, and we wish we could have stayed longer!
