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 breakfast was nice, Leah and her dog Lady were very nice. On street parking was fine. Had a nice conversation with another couple at breakfast who were also staying there. Good value for the money.

This is NOT a complaint, just an understanding you need to have when staying here. This was our first homestay, so an attitude adjustment on our part was necessary. In a hotel you can completely make yourself comfortable. Since this is a person's house, you don't have that luxury to the fullest extent. It is always important to be considerate and respectful in a hotel but even more so in a residence versus a hotel. If a suitcase accidentally hits a wall in a hotel: meh, whatever. If you accidentally scuff a wall in a person's house, you feel bad and that an apology is in order. That's the difference between a hotel and this homestay.
Once you understand you are staying in a person's house, and that there are rules in that house (rightfully so), then you will find the experience to be very positive. Leah takes her role very seriously and truly wants you to be comfortable. Leah learned of our plans and on her own, helped us to plan a safe route due to wildfires along our route. She must've spent about an hour doing this to help us. I was stunned with her consideration and concern. Since we had to leave before breakfast, she prepared a to-go breakfast for us. How sweet! The beds were very comfortable and the house is very clean.

We stayed at Leah's Homestay for two nights and enjoyed both the house and the surrounding area. It is a small town, but you can find good food and places to stroll along the beach there. Leah is very friendly and helpful, and her lovely dog made our stay even more relaxing ☺️ We would recommend Leah's Homestay to other travelers

The homemade peach yogurt was DELICIOUS 😋 Our hostess was concerned about our planned route using Interstate 5 north to Seattle. She greeted us in the morning suggesting that we take Washington State roads to Bremerton and take the modestly priced ferry to Seattle instead - she was “spot on” as the Interstate was closed on both directions for over 5 hours! It was not only a traffic free drive but a lovely view of Seattle from the water as we neared the ferry terminal.

We had a nice time staying at Leah's homestay! Very cozy and peaceful place. She made everything that we feel comfortable and being like at home. She's very friendly! I was with my kid 4 years old. Sometimes, I got nervous because, as a kid, he didn't understand some things, such as which things he could touch or which didn't. Leah was full of patience to explain him and understood his side. Both of us liked her homemade yogurt! It has amazing flavor! Thank you!

There was nothing about our stay that we didn't like. Just nothing.
We enjoyed the peace and quiet of the home. It was a beautiful home, well decorated and clean. We appreciated how we felt so welcomed, and that our puppy was able to make himself at home. Staying where the host knows animals, and has standards for them was so good for us. All of our needs were met abundantly! Our breakfast choices were great, very good yogurt and croissants. We had fun with the other renters, and we were not ready to leave, but had to. Thank you Leah so much!
