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 StatesWhile the a/c kept it cool, the room felt a bit damp. Staff a was a little slow…it was late August yet they mostly (exception being one woman at breakfast who swooped in and started upping the pace of service exponentially) seemed to just be learning their roles and the property

United StatesWe truly enjoyed everything, down to the keychains for the room keys!
This quaint Victorian/old New England style inn was gorgeous. We chose a room that overlooked the ocean, and it was worth every penny - an absolutely stunning view. The room was small, but the space was optimized to be usable, comfortable, inviting, and elegant (blue and gold peacock wallpaper; thick, lush white bedding; air conditioning!). There wasn't quite enough room in the room for a coffee/tea maker, so each morning at the landings there were coffee, tea, and sweet bread choices. We had a delicious breakfast the first day: french croque monsieur. The second day we had to leave early to catch a whale watch tour, but the staff helped us grab what we could early (thank you!). You have to be able to take stairs, but that was part of the charm that we enjoyed. Parking was easy. Even my non-travel-loving husband loved this place. We will definitely be back.

United StatesBreakfast sandwich was not good at all. English muffin was hard and brittle. Pre-pandemic meals were very satisfying. The room was too pricey even with a spa bath and view of the ocean. Should offer AAA or AARP discounts.
Pancakes were delicious. Good choice of juices and pastries. Small refrigerator was added to our room upon request. Also a desk chair. Spa bath was delightful. Room view was breathtaking.

United StatesNo elevator. They were eager to carry luggage if asked, but the inn is only fully accessed using stairs.
Location right on the coast, but an inn of older design so only half the rooms get an ocean view. Although an older property it offered a timeless charm and appeal. Staff were universally friendly and helpful. They are working out some kinks in their food service caused by consequences of the pandemic and not unique to this property. Our room had instant hot water in the shower.

The location was amazing and so was the staff I really liked the downstairs theater as well and the view by the ocean of course. But the breakfast choices were a little strange not much selection. The rooms were very small no water sprinkler for fire safety, no phone in the room, the bed was lopsided, and there were some stains on our towels and bedding. But overall We really did enjoy our stay and we would go there again.

United StatesDidn’t realize we’d need a car! Car rentals were so expensive even for two days that we decided to take a Lyft from Boston not realizing it was close to impossible to get a taxi, LYFT or Uber to get around. We walked from the Inn to Rockport to eat and explore and had to walk back as well. over 4 miles round trip so LOTS of steps but hard on the old back. The Inn offers breakfast but no other meals at this time so you’re kind of stuck. I can’t blame the property for the lack of transportation
Beautiful restored inn with gorgeous views. The staff was absolutely amazing!
