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 like everything about the Fairhaven Villge Inn.
The Fairhaven Village Inn (FVI) garners top marks for exuding the very essence of elegance in a first-class hotel. Staying at the FVI is a delight from the gracious welcome at reception, to the daily text asking if the room should be serviced; from the delicious muffins served in the library to the glass of HH wine in the lovely art-Deco bar. Moreover, one can carry breakfast or wine to the lovely terrace that has both water and village green views. Furthermore, the FVI is located right in Fairhaven Village, yet remains a quiet haven within easy reach of shoreline trails, excellent restaurants, unique boutiques, and a fabulous bookstore. I cannot recommend the FVI too highly. I have already stayed here four times and plan to return again soon!

United StatesGreat location. Very nice room. I very much appreciated the welcome complementary drink and voucher at Galloway. Much needed after 15 hrs of travel. I also liked the option of the morning offerings in the library. Most of all I appreciated the staff, the two desk clerks Meghan and I’m not sure of the daytime clerk, they were terrific and the very friendly housekeepers. Nice people and accommodations make a visit so much more enjoyable.

United StatesLow, low, low concern. It would be well to replace on the deck's west face the required balusters with a plexiglass guard to improve the view. The Adirondack chairs are just a little too low to permit unobstructed views to Bellingham Bay.
Hadn't been to Fairhaven in more than 20 years . . . what an evolution to a charming, welcoming and vital district. The hotel is convenient to all amenities: food, beverages, shops, walking trails. Staff were friendly, the hotel was clean and quiet (we were not on the railroad track side) and the coffee/muffins were fantastic. The architectural team went a long way to capture the ambiance of 1890's Fairhaven.

United StatesThe only thing wax the sofa bed wasn’t comfortable. I appreciated the roll away bed being brought in. I found it much more comfortable.
My parents and I loved the convenience to downtown, the ability to be right in downtown of Fairhaven. The staff is very attentive, our room was spacious and super clean. We appreciated the free wine hour in the afternoon and the coffee, muffins, water in the morning. The ability to sit and enjoy time near a fireplace in our room and in the common areas.

United StatesThe complementary breakfast options could be better/more varied. I can only afford this location when it’s off season, so I hope they still offer variable rates through the year.
We love the comfortable beds and the complimentary glass of wine + discounted nibbles at Gallagher’s in the evening. Also the location is perfect and it was quiet and cozy, and very clean.

Centrally located in a lovely neighbourhood. Close to funky shops, heritage buildings and lots of ethnic eateries. The staff were welcoming and personable. They give you a “key” that can be used for $10 off food in the lounge. Happy hour at 5 with a free drink, and homemade muffins and coffee every morning in the library. Most comfortable bed I’ve slept in in years (better than my own!).
