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 StatesThe price-quality relationship is unbeatable: I've visited several hotels in the U.S., and undoubtedly, this has probably been the most memorable. We visited Ogdensburg just because we saw this interesting accommodation, and at every point, we were surprised. We thought that visiting and staying in a hotel that was previously a school was a great idea, but we found that there was much more that made this place special. As soon as we entered, we noticed the adorable Christmas decorations that were in every space of the school. Jim greeted us with a big smile and asked if we wanted him to give us a guided tour of the place or just show us the room. I couldn't resist the history, and Jim enthusiastically showed us around, adding historical facts about the school and Ogdensburg. It was truly interesting, and I don't think there are more suitable people to bring this hotel to life than them. What better than to sleep in a hotel that was a school with people so passionate about the history and the place it's located? I couldn't ask for more. The room was enormous, and I'm not exaggerating. For this price, here you get two or three times the room size offered in other places. After all, your room is the size of a classroom! The walls are incredibly thick, so it's very unlikely that you'll hear any noise. The decoration in each room is different, and you can see and feel the dedication put into each one—all of them are adorable. The room had a lovely Christmas tree; each room had one, each with different decorations. This detail added an even warmer touch, and I regret not spending Christmas here. On the second floor, they have a well-equipped kitchen available for Sherman Inn visitors. And of course, we used it! It made our stay comfortable as if we were at home. Breakfast was delicious. The owners were there to attend to us, and they were truly available for any questions.

Charming renovated school, themed decor of Presidents who visited Ogdensburg. We stayed in the Teddy Roosevelt room decor was rustic Adirondack with pictures and the speech he gave in Ogdensburg. The hosts Jim and Donna are wonderful full of great information and the breakfast is beyond description “Delish” we can’t say enough about what a great place it is to stay!

CanadaSherman Inn is a quaint, spacious redecorated school that hosts enormous bedrooms with carefully selected antiques and collectibles. The facilities were so quiet, that we did not hear the other guests. The hosts, Jim and Donna, were most welcoming and shared the histories of their lovely town. Excellent stay, just moments from the Canada/US border.

Wonderful accommodation. We were given an informative & amusing tour by Jim who showed us 3 of the beautifully decorated rooms. A lot of thought & consideration has gone into the styling & history of each room. The beds were extremely comfortable with soft, warm linen. The rooms were large & would easily accommodate a family. It's located in a quiet street with plenty of parking onsite. As the building was double walled it provided a peaceful sleep. Donna cooked a delicious breakfast of waffles & fresh fruit. Endless tea & coffee provided with a story from Jim. Would highly recommend staying here. Wonderful hosts & history to this school building.

The host greeted us as we arrived. It was all decorated for Halloween! Took us for a tour of the building and explained about the presidents that had stopped in town. Showed us to our beautiful room and let us be. Smelled the wonderful breakfast that was being served. But chose to sleep in. Beds were very comfortable. Don’t believe we even locked our room. Also told us about restaurants in the area.

United KingdomI made a mistake with this property - I should have booked to stay longer
I have never stayed in premises as good as this. Everything about it was excellent very large and well fitted out bedroom - very good breakfast - host so helpful in every way. Breakfast with other guests or one separate table. Other guests very entertaining and informative. Each bedroom themed to former president with information on them and books on local history. For what you get the price is incredible. If in this area again would definitely stay here even if I had to change my dates.

Jim and Donna are great hosts. To list this property as a double queen room is not accurate. you have a very large room with two queen beds plus a huge seating area plus other amenities such as a complete kitchen. The breakfast was great, I have been all over the world and I have had no better experience anywhere. The only regret is we were on a motorcycle tour and only had one night to stay. This is a historical building in a historical location. It would be great to be here for a few days to explore all the area has to offer.
