How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The only thing that would be negative is that the room that we stayed in got really stuffy. There were two windows in the room that could have created a cross breeze, but one of them wouldn't stay open.
Gilbert Inn was quaint and clean with great interaction with the staff.

We would have really enjoyed a special breakfast. Something special to the area would have been very appreciated.
We enjoyed walking to most places and biking to those that were a little farther away. The history of the house and the community made it a special choice for us. We would be so happy to stay there again.

The room needs detail work attended to. Caulking in the bathroom. Baseboards and shower. But, that’s not something that bothers me. A piece of wallpaper high up at the ceiling is loose. Again, not a detractor from the comfort, jus something I noticed.
I slept like a baby!! The bed was very comfortable. They provide really nice bathrobes! A bonus. Shampoo, conditioner and lotion was an added bonus. The room was sweet. As a former builder it was cool to see how a private home made upgrades to become a commercial hotel and yet keep the character of the building well intact. Breakfast was fine. It got me going! Will stay again should I pause in Seaside.

Main part of the inn (lobby, breakfast room, etc.) was a little cooler in temperature than expected so wear appropriate attire to breakfast during the winter months. The staff missed that the coffee machine was out of water one day which was a bummer, but there is a little coffee shop less than a block away.
The location was great for downtown and beach access. The room was clean and perfect for a couple or small family as it also had a living area with a small kitchenette.Adequate supplies (towels, coffee, dishes, utensils, etc) and housekeeping was great. Breakfast was simple with the basics which was also nice. Would definitely stay again and recommend.

The only complaints I have are the fact that the DVD player in our room (the Renee' Room) didn't work, and the bed frame extends out much farther than the mattress and is covered with a bed spread, so it isn't easy to see. I hit my knee so hard that it split the skin.
Breakfast was good. The room was very nice. The facility was very quaint. They have a library of DVDs free for their guests to take to their room and watch. Location was ideal if you want to spend some time on Broadway exploring the shops and entertainment.

Tight quarters and no where to sit besides the bed. No room for a chair. We were on 2nd floor and the stairs are very narrow, I would have chosen downstairs room if I would have known.
Location was good we could walk to most shops and restaurants. Breakfast was plentiful lots of choices.
