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.).

First, we loved that it was in Mahone Bay and it was an old property. Cathy was a wonderful host and gave us many ideas on how to spend our four days there. The room was lovely and had everything we needed and we loved the breakfasts. We would highly recommend this b&b.

United KingdomIt is an old house do you need to put up with creaking and noise from other rooms but it is not annoying at all.
The property gives the authentic vibe, it is a historic building with an interesting background. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. Great views from the front windows.

CanadaThere was some road construction near the B&B.
The breakfast was wonderful. Our host Cathy is a lovely guest and amazing cook. The location between the three ocean side churches is iconic and we could walk to all of the shops and restaurants. We enjoyed meeting other people during breakfast and we loved Cathy’s dog Murphy Brown. The coffee is delicious.

CanadaThe noise from the cars on the street.
If you are staying here I highly recommend the Gull’s nest room (see photos). It was stunning. Beautiful view of the water through the trees. Real rustic charm. The bathtub in the room was a treat and the shower water pressure is awesome. The house is nice and quiet. My travel mate and I enjoyed sitting outside at night on the Muskoka chairs and watch the sun set. It is truly beautiful and serene. The house is also very, very, very clean. Cathy also is equipped with anything you may have forgotten from bug spray to bandaids. Now this is a bed and breakfast. I am not a big breakfast eater and I’m not a big fan of banked goods. I let Cathy know I was happy with a piece of toast and a glass of juice. Cathy finally caved and let me just eat toast, but she was so very accommodating and bought me two different types of bread so I had a selection. 😊. I did try Cathy’s olive oil and lemon loaf (keeping in mind I really don’t like the taste of lemon). OMG, it was beyond delicious and moist. Cathy just gave the loaf a “kiss” of lemon and it was divine. My friend really enjoyed Cathy’s food and homemade compote’s. Lastly, if you are a dog lover you will absolutely fall in love with Murphy (chocolate lab). He is so friendly and loves his belly rubs. Definitely bring a few treats in your bag and you will have a best friend for life. I can only give this property 5 stars, but I would rank it higher if I could.

Canadano notes at all, would happily spend a week here.
Cathy the innkeeper was a delight! she had a ton of maps and recommendations for things to do and sights to see, and she was super responsive and made a delicious breakfast each day. The rooms were clean, the water pressure was high, and it was a great location for getting to dinner places or taking a walk by the water. parking was really accessible, the living room was a really cozy spot to hang out and have a fire, and Cathy was super good about allergies and food sensitivities.

GermanyFrom the moment we stepped into this delightful B&B, we felt an immediate sense of warmth and welcome. The inviting atmosphere and beautifully appointed rooms created a truly memorable experience, with every detail carefully considered to ensure comfort and relaxation. Cathy and Murphy 🐾were exceptional, going out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed, which made our experience unforgettable. Breakfast was a highlight, featuring a delicious and varied menu made from fresh, local ingredients. Each morning began perfectly. We’re grateful for the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful place and left with wonderful memories (Thank you for the soap). We highly recommend this B&B for anyone seeking a peaceful, relaxing getaway!
