How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Booking should be sued for false advertising. While the town is stated, someone looking at mileage proximity is severely misleaded.

Verified reviewThis historic inn is beautifully restored and decorated, with stunning grounds overlooking the harbour. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable. Breakfast was exceptional.
Everything was perfect. We were there on a very hot day, it would have been nice to have a shaded area near the water to enjoy the view out of the sun.
Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted that you appreciated the historic charm and comfort of our inn. Our team works hard to create a memorable experience for our guests, so we're thrilled to hear that our efforts paid off. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future. ~Dawn

Verified reviewIt was a beautiful Inn, close to Belfast and we were able to travel to many coastal towns. Dawn was a fine host, anticipating travelers needs.
The only thing was our room was a bit small
I am so pleased that you loved your stay and enjoyed our beautiful coast of Maine. There is sooooo much to do in our area and I love to hear of our guests adventures and travels during breakfast. We have ten beautiful rooms to choose from with the smallest being the room you stayed in and the largest being our two gorgeous suites with private decks looking out at our waterfront. Give me a call when you visit next and I can tell you the differences between the rooms. Our newest renovation even added a sitting room to the Elizabeth so it is quite a bit bigger than it was. Thank you for your visit! We loved having you! :) ~Dawn

Verified reviewBeautiful garden arrangements.
The bathroom was too small. The bed was not so comfortable.
I have felt terrible about this review since it was written as it is not the normal feedback that we receive. We really pride ourselves in overdelivering and in this case we obviously did not, and for that, I sincerely apologize. I appreciate the feedback and the chance to learn where we might improve and do better. ~Dawn
