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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United StatesThe air conditioners were not available yet but we did have an unusually warm day preseason.
An absolutely wonderful place with the most beautiful Victorian decor. Not a thing was overlooked. The parking was a little tight, but we did have a truck. The room was so comfortable and plenty of space. Our host made sure we were comfortable with asking for any needs. The bathroom was enough. Little thoughtful appointments in the room were appreciated. The breakfast delicious, the hosts warm and welcoming. We most certainly will stay there again when we go out for a visit.

It was absolutely beautiful! It was like going into the Gilded Age Era!! The Rooms were so well done, it impressed me at every turn! The drapes and comforter totally matched each other, which was so different from other B&B’s! Breakfast was Delicious and Barry (Host) made sure you would not leave hungry!!! I was welcomed into the room and had 2 cookies, in their own little bubble waiting for me, of course, not to be repetitious but probably best cookie I’ve ever tasted! You can check out the pictures to see it for yourself, only pictures do not do it justice!!! The 2 Hosts were wonderful and So Happy I went there!!!

United StatesSadly there was some road work not too far away and they were working on it Sat Morning. The neighborhood is residential so there wasn't much walking. But the small yard is pleasant! I can say much about the local town as we were visiting our daughter at Hamilton College
This Victorian period B&B is very nice. The room was very spacious, the bathroom was great whirlpool tub. The owners are delightful!!! The house is highly decorated in period pieces!!! The Breakfast was very good, with a good variety and quite large....fresh fruit, cinnamon bun, eggs, pancakes, bacon, potatoes, nice coffee and OJ...though I wish I was 25 and could finish it! They don't punish you if you don't clean your plate.

United StatesBarry greeted us at the door and gave us a nice tour and history of their beautiful home. A warm welcome is always appreciated after travelling. Our room was very spacious and very comfortable. Our private bathroom was very nice to have - we were able to get ready at our own leisurely pace. We had to leave early the next morning before breakfast was served, but Barry left us some amazing Lemon Blueberry cake at the front door. Very thoughtful, delicious and appreciated. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely return. Highly recommend!
