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 StatesYou need to invest in sheets that don't pill. It would be helpful if you would advertise on your website when the restaurant opens for the season. We were disappointed that it was closed.
The staff was very friendly and helpful, breakfast was great. Beautiful location. Would like to visit again in the fall.

Breakfast location was great. I lost my hubby one year ago and I was reluctant about traveling alone but the staff was wonderful and I explained I was alone and they sat me at what I thing is the best seat in the dining room. I certainly miss my spouse but I felt so comfortable that I booked another weekend in early April.

The room was very comfortable but the employees helped make the visit special. We left too early for breakfast and they packed up hot sticky buns and OJ for us to take with us. The buns were hot and it was 5 am.

United StatesThe Kitchen staff started to play loud music any 7am on a Sunday morning, and my room was just above it. Needless to say, I couldn't sleep until I got out of bed and went downstairs and complained, as there was no answer to the front desk phone line. I had a much higher expectation over the Sunday brunch. Although there was a large variety of dishes, they were nothing to make me remember it. Just average food.
The Staff is just amazing. They go above and beyond to ensure you have what you need.

United StatesWe loved meeting several couples on the porch on a rainy night. In the rocking chairs meeting new friends for life. Ended up enjoying a day together with one of the couples at Mackinac Island. Then another day with another couple by driving to their home in Wisconsin fro their invitation. Friends now for life with two of the couples from a rainy night that kept many at the Stafford's Inn on the porch enjoying conversations from people from any different walks in life.

The food was absolutely amazing, didn’t matter what it was. Breakfast is included and it’s basically a gourmet brunch buffet, including desserts. You get complimentary bike rental to ride around the town, AND complimentary kayak/peddle boat rental as well, private lake access, great views. The staff treat you like royalty, and the owner is a very humble gentleman and shows up randomly to meet and chat with guests and staff. They even offered to give us a tour of the building and we learned about its history. **The building is very old (1800s) - some floors are uneven and creak. Be prepared for some imperfections. It’s okay, though - it’s part of the charm!
