Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.

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 StatesWasn't a friendly check in at all. We booked 3 rooms and were told because of that and only having one car we would be upgraded I can't imagine our stay if the rooms we had were an upgrade. Breakfast wasn't served until 930 am which was too late for all of us.

United Statesit was a farther walk to downtown than I thought. What I don't understand is my booking said pay at time of check in. I received a call for confirmation of arrival time and who I was coming with. When we got there they had already charged the room to my partner. Neither of us ever gave the credit number or consent for that. Also I did not like the breakfast, would rather a continental type.
The employees were very nice and good at what they do

United StatesThe air conditioning was not very good. I also did not like the size of the bathroom/shower. The noise from the room above us was very loud and I did not sleep. I had no idea there were rooms at top of staircase behind a locked doors. I definitely feel we deserve a refund for our Friday night stay since I did not sleep.
Location was excellent to all sites, and restaurants. Rick was an excellent host and the staff was very helpful & friendly. Breakfast was very good, and freshly made.

United StatesThe room had lots of upkeep flaws - the tub was coming apart, there were unrepaired chips and bumps in the walls. The blinds were broken. There is no housekeeping. We were "upgraded" because we did not want a third floor room, but I doubt that the room was any better. Also, they expect you to have breakfast at an assigned time, and were not very gracious that we slept late.
The location could not have been better

United StatesMy only caution is that being an historic building there is no central air conditioning; however a window air conditioner works fine to cool the room.
Staff were wonderful; greeted us outside the inn and assisted us with parking. Upgraded our room at no extra charge. Location is superb; one block from the main shopping waterfront area. Breakfast to order was a nice surprise.

United StatesWe were given a different room than we booked. The innkeeper made a big deal about our “free upgrade,” as if he had done us a big favor. The room seemed pretty comparable to what we booked. But it was in the basement/street level so it was very loud. We heard every conversation going on outside and every time the door opened. The room was very pretty, but not at all restful.
The location of was great. The room was large and nicely appointed. Breakfast was decent.

United StatesOur friend's room was very tight and had a drop down entering the room which could be dangerous. Parking was a little difficult. The breakfast was a disaster. Our meal was served but we had to wait 5 minutes for our eating utensils. Ran out of coffee and had to wait 10 minutes for a new pot. The waitress never brought out creamers even after we asked twice. We had to ask for toast, which was brought out after we were done eating.
Location was excellent. Our room was spacious. People were very nice.

United StatesIn keeping with the age of the buildings there are lamps and not over head lights, the rooms are dark which is only a problem when looking through a suitcase, we could have used a few scones or more lamps. Our king bed was two twins that kept separating, it was comfortable, but needed one of those belts to tie it together.
Always a warm welcome at the Newport Inns on Clark St. Friendly staff and good breakfast. Good location for our needs, off street parking and good value. Best thing to do is call the Inn directly and ask for the room you want, booking.com makes it confusing as to what you are getting. The inn keeper works hard to make sure guests are accommodated, so just call him directly.
