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.).

United StatesThere can be issues with sound if any of the other guests are rowdy or depart super-early in the morning. It's an authentic old house with wood floors.
The location was good...walking distance to the busy Water St. area, but calmer place to stay. A classic home with traditional decor, it was comfortable and safe. My host was warmly responsive with any questions. It is the kind of place I like to stay in when visiting a new city - homey and friendly.

CanadaBreakfast was pretty much the same both mornings. Pillows are very soft even when they're all piled up.
Stayed in queen and single room with en suite (Lushes Bight) which was bright and nicely furnished .Well maintained heritage home. Wifi worked well. Easy keyless check in and out process. Keypad room access made me feel my stuff was secure. Bed was comfortable.

United KingdomThere was nothing.
The room was really two joined together so v generous with big beds at separate ends and a settee area in the middle. There was a separate fully eqiuipped kitchen totally for our use so ideal if you are self catering. Breakfast (included) was lovingly cooked to order by Norman and there were plenty of healthy options. The overnight granola was delicious! Location was good up a couple of levels from Water Lane with steep walks down.

I haven't actually met the staff in person, but everything was well organised for my arrival and during my stay. Breakfast was included but not available. However, they provided gift cards for the wonderful coffee shop next door and delicious warm croissants and cookies every morning. Location is great, room very cosy and clean.

CanadaNorm's scrambled eggs were awful. I couldn't eat them. There were chunks like hard-boiled eggs in them with the grey colour that you see around the yolk. Very unappetizing looking. The ham was very dry. Toast, granola yogurt fruit cup, and bacon were great. My friend enjoyed the frittata. We were disappointed there was no fridge in our second room (Lushes Bight). The light above the twin bed is very hard to reach (unless you are very tall). Little Ships Ease could use a suitcase stand. Bedside tables are helpful since many people use CPAP machines.
Norm is so very personable. He is a gem. Carol was very accommodating when our plans changed and made arrangements for us to have help with our bags when we changed rooms. This was very much appreciated. Our first room (Little Ships Ease) had a small fridge. It also had a hook on the wall by the tub to hang your towel and shampoo and conditioner were provided.

CanadaWe were a bit disappointed in our breakfast on our first morning. We arrived at the dining room at 8:20 am. Our chef (Rene) advised there were only pancakes left. Our preference would have been eggs, bacon, etc. She did her best and made pancakes for us. She was very lovely. Our second morning was great with the regular chef and lots of menu options. I can't recall his name!! We didn't have any unpleasant experiences at all!
Excellent location. We loved the old building and large room/suite we had (#10). The beds were very comfortable. The back entrance was handy to bring in our luggage. I'm glad we didn't have to carry them up to the top level! We utilized the outdoor deck for a glass of wine in the evening.

CanadaWe liked everything. One thing to note though (but not an issue for us) is that the place is a 10 min walk to the centre...but that also gave us some exercise and we discovered different things each time we left and returned.
The room exceeded our expectations. It was very tastefully decorated and larger than we expected. It made the whole room comfortable, so much so that we decided to stay in one evening and just relax there. The WIFI was more than sufficient for streaming and the breakfast (and cook) were excellent.
