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 StatesOur room was on the top floor, we didn't mind but it might be alot of stairs for some.
The staff was awesome, especially Colleen, who made our stay very comfortable. Breakfast was excellent each morning with plenty of choices, freshy baked muffins and good coffee. Appreciated the afternoon cakes and goodies too! Loved the big porch to sit and visit with the other vacationers. Cozy fireplace in the living room when it got cool was a nice bonus.

United StatesThe cottage can use some updating for sure and would have been nicer with higher quality bedding towels, both bath and beach. For $425 p night, we would expect that amenity. New beach chairs for guests, as the ones we had were pretty beaten up. The hallway and stair carpet really needs to be replaced and some sprucing up the interior would brighten up the place. That said, I would still come back to the Inkwell Cottage. To sum it up, the staff kept the place very clean, it is the cottage that needs some updates and improvements but will not lessen your stay. We still recommend coming here.
The incredible staff here make the stay so enjoyable. Colleen and Brenna were so helpful, friendly and professional, they, and the rest of the staff who I did not get their names, elevated our experience by far. The staff is constantly working on cleaning and keeping the place tidy.

United StatesI really can't think of anything!
The breakfasts were great! I loved my room, that I could sit in my chair and look out at the water. The whole staff was lovely and caring, especially the manager who was so kind and determined to help when I could not remember where I had parked my car. I met so many of the guests and formed friendships. My stay there was exceptional and I was allowed to stay several days beyond my reservation. I liked it so much there!

United StatesAs a solo female traveler I enjoyed everything about the property - safe, secured and welcoming. The staff were friendly and courteous. A day before leaving to MV I received a courtesy phone call from Chantel who was inquiring about any special needs, questions I might have and confirming the date I was arriving. It was a welcoming personal call that is rare now a days. I especially loved opening the front screen door after spending the day at the beach and the smell of fresh baked cookies was a delight! They were delicious! The beach was easily accessible and steps away from the beautiful front porch where I enjoyed my cup of coffee every morning after a 6:00 am run. The included breakfast was a huge bonus! I would definitely book with them again!
