We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesThe sheets were older and no longer soft, a little stiff. The pillows were older and no longer fluff. She could definitely invest in new sheets and pillows.
The location was excellent. You can walk to most spots, a 30 minute walk to main town. Minutes from entrance of cliff walk and marble house. Noreen was a kind and generous host. She was so nice to give us advice and directions and even let us use a clothes dryer in another unoccupied suite. The pool and hot tub were TERRIFIC

United StatesThe only minor problem we had was that the room was in the back of the building and my wife has problems with her knees. Walking around on the grass and stones was a challenge, but manageable. That's our problem, not the problem of Murray House.
There was no breakfast available but that didn't matter because if you go hungry in Newport it's your fault. The room was stocked with food and snacks anyway, so you could take care of yourself. The accommodations were very comfortable and very private. We were in a Garden Terrace room and the patio we had was great. Noreen, who owns Murray House, couldn't have been more hospitable.

United Stateshaving non expired food items and pastries that got state after two days was awful
The continental breakfast was horrible and unsafe. 2 donuts and 2 muffins were left on Sunday for a 2 night stay and never replenished. The instant oatmeal containers had an expiration date of 2024, the breakfast bars expired in 2023, and the individual fruit containers in the frig expired in 2023. Totally unsafe to consume! The location was great, close to most things but this should be a room only, not a B&B

United StatesNothing it was perfect for my husband and I.
From the moment we arrived at the Murray House, we were captivated by its charming exterior and beautiful surroundings. Nestled right by the coast, in a nice quiet neighborhood. The Garden room was tastefully decorated, making every corner feel like a cozy retreat. We could easily see ourselves relaxing here for days. One of our favorite spots was the sunny terrace, and the bird sanctuary. We indulged in our morning coffee while watching the beautiful variety of birds. It was the perfect way to start our days. Speaking of adventures, we took advantage of the house’s prime location. We enjoyed leisurely walks around the neighborhood, as well as visits to nearby attractions like the stunning Newport mansions. The Marble house is less than a ten minute walk, and we can’t forget about shopping! We spent an afternoon exploring the quaint shops and boutiques in downtown Newport. Found some unique souvenirs to take home. The free trolley stop was close by so we took advantage of it when we went downtown. Noreen the owner was wonderful. My husband chatted with the maintenance man as they had a lot in common he is from Massachusetts and lived a few towns away from our home. He was also a fisherman and boy my husband loves to fish.

United StatesCommunication with the owner "Noreen" was just odd . Never met her in person , never had contact with anyone when arrived to the location, everything was done through an email. God forbid there was an emergency on location there was no immediate person to contact. We were told to leave a tip for an amazing housekeeper who never showed up to make up the room so im not quite sure what that was about. The wifi was terrible in room , we had to sit outside to receive any service. Honestly I never felt like I was Communicating with a real person, the place was a little eerie after spending time there. More social skills from the owner or call backs would've been more appreciated but it seemed like we were dealing with a ghost host 🤔
Quaint little home , many amenities like pool and hot tub . Location was walking distance to Bailey beach and cliff walk . Very cute place and location was amazing.

United StatesThere are so many rules and messages everywhere. Lots of emails prior to staying. The room was a bit musty and we needed to air out the room. Right before our stay, I received an email that they hadn’t priced the stay of our dog into what we had paid them. So as we arrived we found out the bill was $100 more. Weirdly, there were dog treats all over the driveway.
The location was great. It’s close to the mansions and not too far from the southern part of the cliff walk. The safari themed was fun and the terrace area was very cute and well maintained Our dog was very welcomed. They even had toys and treats for him on the bed when we arrived.

GermanyThe rooms in garden suite are quite dark and a bit damp when the weather outside is wet or rainy.
The location right there at the cliffwalk and Trolley station is perfect, city center is a walk or short uber trip away.

United Statesnothing, everything met or exceeded our expectations.
We had a lovely weekend staying at the Murray House. We stayed in the garden room and it was spacious and clean with closet space, a small kitchen stocked with snacks, and a large bathroom. The decorations added some personality as well! The room was cozy and very comfortable and we enjoyed using the very private garden right outside our door. We didn't get a chance to use the pool but it looked beautiful and clean. About a 5-10 minute drive to the bustling part of Newport but the neighborhood itself was safe, quiet, and convenient. Noreen was also very clear with her directions for entry even though we arrived after dark. I would definitely recommend staying at the Murray House if ever visiting Newport!

United StatesIf you are interested in going back to a complete 1950’s time capsule of a room, you will be delighted. Bed was a slab of cement. Signs posted everywhere telling you what to do/not to do. Old dirty throw rugs you don’t want to step on without your shoes. Not a B&B - no breakfast except a basket with packaged pop tarts in it. Host/Owner never showed her face. I could go on…
