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 StatesThe bed was not comfortable and the couch was broken.
The location was nice and the property was interesting… has tons of potential! …but it’s a bit outdated and not maintained. I wish the owners would put some more attention into the property and make this place truly wonderful.

United StatesThere are renovated room that are awesome, but others are more dated and need a new rug. Out feet kept turning black just by walking on it. Don’t get me wrong, everything was clean, but the material was decomposing due to age and wear.
Location is awesome, a creek runs through the property and it’s less than an hour away from water holes and expectacular nature. Spacious rooms.

United StatesOriginally we were booked in the older room and it did not feel clean. The room is very dated and the tub had stains. I’m thankful we were given an upgrade to the renovated room because I don’t think I would have stayed.
The renovated rooms were very nice. They are simple but clean which is most important to me! Just wish they had a closet or even a single hook to hang my dress for my event on! I’m happy there was a fridge and microwave in the room!

United StatesMy room (404) had a lot of deferred maintenance including small holes in the walls, cracked tiles, and moldy grout at the tub. The WIFI was abysmal. I could barely download emails, and I was never able to successfully access websites — let alone stream YouTube videos. I tried various locations around the property (parking lot, picnic table, outside the office) to no avail. I did speak with the staff regarding all of the above. They offered to change my room, but indicated the WIFI likely would be no better. Since all else was cosmetic, I declined the offer. The folks are quite nice at the Northern Queen.
Beautiful, wooded location convenient to town and the railroad museum. The bed was very comfortable with 4 large and fluffy pillows, and the room had a microwave, refrigerator and single-serve coffee maker. The staff were very kind, friendly, and helpful.

United StatesIt's a shame the restaurant closed! It would have been nice to have curtains and shears instead of blinds for privacy and light, but other than that, my stay was great! Would stay there again.
Beautiful location! Room was comfortable and spacious. Also clean. Bed was super comfortable and the pillows were great.

Indiathere was a broken faucet right outside the door that flooded the pathway and the shutters were broken and Falling, some were missing altogether, making it impossible to get full privacy in the living room.
The room was clean and situated in a quiet part of the property, there was a private section for the bedroom separating it from the window to the street, the bathroom was large. The staff were very nice and they did provide some snacks in the morning ! The property is beautiful! Thank you

United StatesNot as clean as it should have been. Bottle caps left on floor by the bed. Also, there was no remote for the tv. As we were only staying for one night and leaving early the next day we didn’t bother saying anything about the remote. It would have been a little inconvenient if we had a longer stay with no entertainment
Great location and price
