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):
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.).

CanadaNothing. Super comfortable- great breakfast and Michael and Tom are wonderful hosts.
Great location. Mahone Bay is the perfect location for day trips in the area. The property itself is a lovely old house with a garden and sitting area outdoors in the back and two sitting rooms indoors- one each on the first and second floor.

Michael and Thomas were excellent hosts. Communication was easy and prompt. They happily provided a wine chiller when we brought a bottle of wine from our car. Wine and rocks glasses, cards and books were available in the reading nook upstairs near the rooms. Our queen bedroom and private bath were comfortable and included a hair dryer, books, two chairs, luggage racks, a flat screen tv, and window air conditioner. A delightful breakfast served family style at their beautiful dining room table included fresh berries, yogurt, cereal, juices, homemade jams, toast, smoked salmon and your selection of hot foods such as pancakes, eggs, and meats. Mahone Bay is a cute town with a few shops and a local pub, and it's located less than 10 miles from Lunenberg, where more restaurants, shops and tourist attractions are available. We took the carriage ride, which was a lot of fun. Note that all shops close at 5 pm.

CanadaThe room and en-suite bathroom were so cute and very clean. The hosts were wonderful and accommodating and had a really nice breakfast for us. They gave us some great recommendations to see hidden gems away from the super tourist packed spots. The location is right by the water and it's in such a cute town. We would definitely stay here again.

FranceA gorgeous home inside and out, with a welcoming host. A beautifully appointed bedroom with original tasteful decoration. A delicious home made breakfast to start the day. Centrally located just across from the water, but quiet. Mahone Bay has a large choice of restaurants and shops, including the famous Amos Pewter, all a short walk from Fairmont House.
