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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). 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.).

United StatesAnts! There were what seemed like more than normal numbers of ants. I realize we were at the beach but not outside? There was not a mirror in the room outside of the small mirror in the bathroom. The lighting was not very good but that was okay for a leisure stay.
Side beach view was actually nice from the balcony. I had some concerns about that when I booked the room. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

When I first stepped in the lobby, it smelled so clean and nice. The young lady was so sweet and polite. Our room was amazing! Remodeled and very clean, cute little coffee pot (but not enough for me and my husband lol) It was my first time here in Kill Devil Hill and we really enjoyed it.

United StatesAC was a bit noisy. You could hear conversations from the rooms next door. The door to the hallway was not a good fit, lots of light seen around the edges. Would have preferred a lock bar or chain on the door. There was a dead bolt.
The location was great. Great access to the ocean. Nice pool. Nice continental breakfast. Clean. Comfortable bed. Nice shower.

United StatesThe only bummer was that there wasn’t a scrambled egg or vegetarian breakfast sandwich option. Hard boiled is good, but scrambled eggs and toast would have been excellent. But there were lots of restaurants right down the road!
The views were incredible! And our room was perfect, exactly what we were hoping for. The Inn was right in the center of lots of places to go and experiences to try!

United StatesThis was our third time staying here. Staff are very friendly, the dune top deck is beautiful, but many people just hanging out smoking on. It. Our room was standard 2 queen beds, but definitely seemed more like 2 doubled. The shelf in the bathroom was falling off so couldn't use it. All in all it was a great time and will definitely return

Wonderful location, close to beach and anything else you could need. Very clean and well maintained. Staff was friendly and accommodating. I read some negative reviews but honestly I don’t know why this hotel would warrant them. I couldn’t imagine being here on the outer banks and being so put out by such trivial matters as in these reviews. Here is the deal. If you want an ocean front view then read the room description and book one. They are more expensive and rightly so. Otherwise, you will not have an ocean view because you booked the cheapest option. I requested ground floor and was accommodated. They had housekeeping daily. The room was clean when we got there. The air conditioner worked wonderfully. I think someone mentioned it was loud. I didn’t notice that. Even if I did I wouldn’t mention it. The dang thing kept the room cold like I like it. I don’t care how it sounds. The pool was lovely and not crowded. You could tell they took care of the grounds and maintaining the pool area. Now to the FREE continental breakfast. It’s offered from 7-10. They had PLENTY of options to choose from including waffles, breakfast sandwiches, cereal, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, fruit, breads for toast, pastries, coffee, juices and I’m sure other things I am forgetting. It was well stocked and those lovely ladies running it made sure to keep it that way. You could tell they were working hard to keep the guest happy. I saw complaints about this free confidential breakfast and seriously all I could do was shake my head. Lastly they have added (new since our last visit) a beautiful large gazebo style beach entrance. It’s gorgeous and has ample room and seating. The staff was very friendly. This was another negative in some reviews that I cannot wrap my head around. This was not our experience at all. The staff was nice and helpful.

CanadaInevitable beach things like the feeling of sand everywhere and some moist carpet smell due to the humidity- but otherwise it was pretty perfect!
The access to the beach was fantastic. Great amenities like a water refill station, a breakfast with tons of choices, and a nice gazebo by the beach. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Rooms were nicely finished and appointed.

United StatesI was a little disappointed in the fact that I booked 2 rooms and they were in completely different buildings. I paid for the 2 rooms and ended up with a room behind the check in desk and the other one was oceanfront. I really don't remember requesting a quiet room, but it was a quiet area.
Breakfast was good and fully stocked
