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 StatesI wish there were enough chairs for every overnight hotel guest in the reserved area of the lawn.
Considering how crowded it was, I love that breakfast and afternoon tea are reserved for overnight hotel guests only.

United StatesThese 2 things the hotel cannot control. The foghorn-went off only the first night. It is an old, beautiful home and has creaky floorboards. Didn't detract from our stay at all.
Breakfast was included and amazing. Staff was super friendly and attentive. View is spectacular.

United StatesIt is a bit pricey. But after including the breakfast and afternoon tea, it is considered reasonable. Some of the rooms are more than pricey. They have many staff. Services are prompt and courteous. All in all, we get what we pay for. The hotel does not have elevators. So the place is not exactly handicapped accessible.
The breakfast is very good, all you can eat but cook just for you. The portions are generous. The staff are very professional and friendly. The front desk staff and parking attendants are more than helpful and friendly. Our room looks out north toward Newport Bridge. It is beautiful day and night. The view from the outdoor sitting area is just fantastic, especially in the evening when the sun is setting. We are fascinated by the namesake lighthouse. All in all, a fabulous experience.

It was my milestone birthday celebration. I always wanted to stay here a night and enjoy dining room tasting menu. The staff were all so great, friendly and helpful. Never been during winter season but so calm & private compare to summer time which was nice. Room was so elegant and clean. They have downtime service. We had an aperitif at the bar downstairs then had dinner at dining room. Very interesting & fine wine paring experience. Food was just so “right” and enjoy little chat with our waiter who is very knowledgeable. Over all we had such a wonderful time. Any special occasion to celebrate, this is the place to be.

United StatesThought we were in cottages on water. Totally mislead & ended up in older rooms on other end of property. Right across from porta-potties😳 Still nice view, but not what we booked😠 That’s what we get for booking two rooms! Front desk staff rude. Should be called Chateau NO! No we can’t do that, NO, NO. Extremely inflexible! We spent a lot of $$$ ie 2 rooms, spa services, dinner with pricey wine & not once was there any warmth from the front desk. Guy who checked us in late at night sent us off into the dark with no map. Had to come back for an escort😖 Do not plan on having dinner outside past 6:30! Again, NO! Lots of rules that impede feeling relaxed. Although spa service with Kate was fantastic!
Beautiful location & views!

Remote beautiful property and inn. Away from the hustle and bustle of downtown but not far for when you want it. Close enough to the stunning mansions and spectacular cliff walk. Impeccable service, wonderful dinner, breakfast and lunches. Elegant and sophisticated yet comfortable and relaxing.
