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 StatesI was very disappointed in the price switch. When I booked the room, it was confirmed at $162.30. When we got to the Henderson Castle to check in, we were charged $268.18 for the overnight stay.

United StatesParking for UpJohn is extremely limited, first night wasn't awful, but once more people checked in, you would most likely have to resort to street parking, which isn't awful, but the road could be a little busy. The room we stayed in didn't have a shower and the bathtub was out in the open in the room. I believe there was a shared bathroom that could be used, but I am unsure as we weren't really given the rundown of the facilities and even then, it was just a bathtub in that shared bathroom. I am unsure if another room had a shower.
Location is great if you are wanting to be closer to the downtown, it unfortunately rained during our stay so we had to drive around, but you can tell the community around there likes to walk. Bed was really comfortable, staff was very nice at both Henderson Castle and UpJohn, really quiet if you just want to chill out in your room.

United StatesGot to UpJohn house and no cars. Doors locked. No staff. Knocked and knocked with no answer. On the 4th call, someone from the Henderson Castle, answered and told me I was supposed to check in at the Henderson Castle. This was not indicated to me in the instructions from Booking. Com. So I had to pick up my luggage get back in the car and drive to Henderson Castle to check in. I would’ve been the only one at the UpJohn House. So the Henderson Castle people offered to put me up there instead, at the same price. And I was fine with that. Both properties are beautiful and historical and haunted.
I didn’t actually get to stay here. Would’ve been the only guest. The Henderson Inn put me up there instead. Owned by the same entity.

United States1. We were not told ahead that we needed to actually check in at the Henderson Castle, which was about a mile or so away. 2. We were unable to get a room with a fully functional shower. The one room, the shower was an amazing and original shower that Nate couldn’t get to fully work - overhear spicket wouldn’t turn on. The one we ended up w had a tub at the foot of the bed - with a hand held shower fixture. When we went to shower the next morning, the water wouldn’t get hot. 3. For the breakfast part of B&B you had to drive over to the Henderson Castle. Breakfast looked to be a continental style. Actual hot food was served at the Castle as well but at an extra charge. I’ve stayed in B&B where breakfast was included and was always amazing. The Upjohn really is an over flow property and not set up to receive guests. The check in was disorganized and the people on site didn’t really seem to know what rooms were available and what was functioning. Nate was very friendly and hospitable but didn’t seem to have a grasp on what rooms had what working Bath/showers. This was great because we only stayed one night. Any more than that and we probably would have checked out and gone elsewhere. This property was walkable to the downtown Mall area and we had a lovely dinner w friends at the Beer Exchange. It convenient to the highways - somewhat - and most of the fun offered in Kalamazoo.
The location was perfect for what we wanted. I love old historical Properties and this property met that. It’s pretty and there are some original features that are Great Also loved and appreciated the Keurig coffee maker in each room w coffee and cream (1) and sugar (tons).

United StatesPoor conversion of an old house into a B&B, by example the toilet and bathtub were located in bedroom directly behind bed, no wall or partition. Doors did not feel secure and there were big gaps beneath and between doors. Place had a strange smell. I ended up not staying there.

United StatesBooking .com overbooked the rooms. When we arrived, a guest gave us the owners number and owner informed us of the over booking and apologized. Beautiful place but we had no where to stay at 7pm. Very unfortunate. The place was gorgeous!
The owner was very nice.

United StatesThe amenities were not as advertised. It is in the middle of renovations and it very much felt like a bait and switch. There was one shared bathroom among guests that was finished and the other only had a working toilet. There were paint chips in our bed and the lamps weren't even plugged in. On the bright side, the fan worked.
The location was good and we could walk downtown. It seems like it will one day be a decent bed and breakfast but that day is not today.
