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.).

This bed and breakfast is amazing! It's so clean and tastfully decorated. The owners are friendly and the breakfasts were delicious. The bed was so comfy. Coffee and tea were delivered to our door each morning. The bathroom was adorable and everything was perfect. The owners even threw in an extra birthday gift at our departure. Hands down the best bed and breakfast I have ever stayed at and would love to come back again. We went into Salem both days and the trip in and out was super easy. We also found some great local restaurants to eat dinner at. This helped us to avoid the crazy lines and waits in Salem. Perfect location! I highly recommend booking this b&b.

United StatesN/A- We loved everything about this B&B
This B&B is located in a historical small town and is close to a lot of places to visit. The B&B itself is beautifully furnished and the bed in the Port Suite was the most comfortable we have slept in while on vacation. The breakfasts and afternoon treats were unique and delicious each day. The owners Justin and Drew are very attentive and went out of their way to make our stay a great one. Also a added bonus for us as dog parents we loved getting greeted by Gabe each day. We absolutely loved our visit here and we will be coming back for another stay.

United KingdomA beautiful 17th century property that still retained its rustic characteristics both in feel and location. Located near Essex so plenty of facilities nearby as well as Ipswich for its History and Gloucester as a seaport. Great also if you like seafood - plenty of places to eat nearby. It’s owners are very personable and helpful and we experienced a warm welcome. Highly recommended!

The place is amazing !! I got there alone with three small children and the house of Justin Drew and Gabe (the dog) was just what I needed. The place is homely and warm, there is a large and beautiful backyard - full of green with plenty of space for children. The breakfast was pampering and of course delicious cookies / cakes were always waiting for us on the table at the entrance. And most importantly, Justin and Drew are lovely people. Most of all we got to be with Justin and he is just stunning !! Most recommended ♥ ️

United StatesHahahahaha - that I gained a little weight from the DELICIOUS pastries!
I have stayed in many B & B's in my life and this is by far the best ever! The sparkling cleanliness, the warmth of the host, Justin, and Gabe-the best dog ever! Didn't have the pleasure of meeting Drew, but I look forward to that on our next visit. I miss Justin and Gabe as if we were old friends. This is a totally safe place that I recommend to all of you - and an especially welcoming place for my LGBTQIA+ family. Breakfast always exceeded expectations, with an especially delicious send-off breakfast. Farm fruit smoothie, home baked goods, Dean's Beans coffee (the best and they're a great Western Mass company) and more! Justin recommended a deli nearby that was off the hook! The decor, the simplicity, attention to detail, the hospitality - it's as if you're home - only better. HIGHLY recommend. My friends who know me know I have very high standards and do not give away compliments too easily. This place is a balm. Thank you, Justin - your radiance remains with us - Jim and I will see you again! P.S. We had to cancel the first time - not only did they accept our cancellation, but lowered to rate to the season! Integrity and social consciousness all around!
