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 StatesNo coffee in the room and uncomfortable worn out chairs. Also had two tears in the throw rug where I almost tripped.
Good location. A quick drive to the ferry to take to Martha’s Vineyard and a quick drive or walk to town. Good spread for breakfast and good food at the tavern. Loved the patio for dining outside as well.

United KingdomThe breakfast was a little underwhelming. Would have been nice to have a few more options. We stayed in a two bedroom suite which was spacious and comfortable. The fridge was really helpful but perhaps would have been useful to also have a sink and small kitchenette or kitchen area.
Great location to explore lovely Falmouth. The hotel was clean and comfortable and the staff very friendly and helpful.

United StatesInadeaquete furnishing in the living area of our suite . One low 2 person couch and one extremely low wicker bottom chair . Staff brought in 3 folding chairs with cushion bottoms along with clothes hangers ( there were 2 in the room). It makes little sense to me to upgrade a classic old INN and short the seating area . There are a lot of folks with joint isses that will have low chair problems .
OK Continental breakfast . Best bed I have slept in in years . Clean rooms and facilities with responsive , pleasent staff. Overall it is a nice facility with a good location in Falmouth . ( a beautiful little town ). We stayed 8 days in ice and snow in December and were comfortable at all times .

United StatesThe way the room was set up could have been better because our T V 's were practically back to back so it made listening to 2 different programs hard! The living room could have been arranged so that the couch was under the window and the TV across. There was a big empty space between the couch and dining table!
We enjoyed having a TV for both of us in our room because we both sleep with it on! It was a beautiful room. We enjoyed the lounge and the complementary continental breakfast!

BrazilOn a rainy night we decided to stay in, and our TV wouldn't get wi-fi connection, despite the staff's efforts to do so.
Breakfast was simple but complete and delicious! They serve it on a buffet with a selection of fresh of fruits, bagles, omelete squares, hard boiled eggs, yogurt, juice, coffee and tea. Express check-in and check-out with kind service. Bikes were available and well maintained. Room was comfortable, well kept and super clean!
