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.).

Beautiful cabins and grounds. Extremely clean and very well kept. Breakfast delivered to our cabin every morning was delicious. Access to the private beach was so nice, we went every day. It was not overcrowded. Great location close to hikes. Will definitely stay here again.

United KingdomIt would have been nice to be informed what the main dish was each morning for breakfast so we knew whether we wanted to order it or not. As with pretty much every accommodation we have used it would be nice if the room included a toaster, in case we wanted to stay in for lunch or dinner we could easily just have toast or a bagel to eat.
We had a wonderful stay at the cottage inn. When we arrived we were given an upgrade free of charge to a larger room. The cabin was clean, cosy and comfortable. Every morning we received a lovely breakfast at our requested time. The staff were friendly, helpful and informative. The location was ideal, very quiet and right next to 4 different restaurants/cafes and a little market. On our first day we saw 2 bears! We look forward to returning in the future.

United StatesOnly issue for me was that the mattress was a little "saggy" for my personal preference. It'd also be nice to have a better mix of pillow thicknesses. All the pillows with quite thick, which is uncomfortable for my neck. Having a couple thin pillows along with the thick pillows would cover a wider range of preferences.

United StatesBreakfast. See above comment. Or clarify the breakfast part of the B and B is a continental meal.
The appeal of the property is the location. Staff was cordial. It was quiet at night. The breakfast was a disappointment. We had expected a prepared meal. It was more a continental breakfast with a not good entree--couldn't eat it. Being on the West Shore is a positive. The room was ready and clean when we arrived. Liked that they did not makeup the room daily.

United StatesThere didn't seem an option to request vegetarian breakfast, it was hard to know what the 'main dish' would be and if it would contain meat.
We arrived at night and I loved how much lighting there was with all the string lights, it was a very cute environment. The bed was super comfortable and the cabin stayed very warm. We also walking over to the beach (even with snow) which gave us great views of the lake. I would 100% stay again, maybe in the summer too!
