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 StatesWe got lucky - parking is all street parking, but we got extremely lucky, especially for a holiday weekend. We found a great spot around less than half a block away.
Breakfast was excellent - totally worth the stay for just this alone.

United StatesOnly complaint, which was so minuscule, was that the AC machine in our room was quite loud and whenever it switched on or off at night it woke us up. But we would take that over sleeping without AC any day
Wonderful location, beautifully decorated- felt like stepping back in time 100+ years. Staff was wonderfully accommodating- our request for early check in was granted as we needed to get ready for a wedding. We had to leave before breakfast was served sadly, but will definitely be back!

United StatesThe breakfast was really good (home made eggs Florentine, fruit, granola, yogurt, juice) but it was served without asking and I feel bad not being able to eat it all and/or requesting it all. I‘d think it would be a great idea to either offer all options on a small a la carte menu or at least ask guests what and how much they want to avoid wasting food/beverages. We stayed in room 3 a cute and quiet corner room on an upper floor as requested, but there was not much space in the room to move around. Showerhead was outdated/not adjustable and needed quiet long to warm up
Centrally located, historic property, nice patio to enjoy, plenty of games and books, easy check-in process and parking, comfy queen bed and mattress

A nice historical property in the heart of Julian, walking distance to everything. Rooms in the main building plus separate cottages, great for solo travelers.

United StatesMy husband and I loved this place - full of old charm and an amazing value for the experience. Hot three course breakfast was beyond our expectations for sure. The hotel has a wonderful history, and is located right in the center of Julian, close to every restaurant or coffee shop. Hotel hostess was very cordial and helpful, and overall, we thought it was superb. We will be sure to return to see the lilacs in bloom.
