We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United StatesThe inn was not as frilly and fancy as some B&Bs, and that was fine with us. We enjoyed relaxing there
The room was clean and comfortable, especially the bed and extra-soft sheets. The location was perfect for us. It was so quiet and relaxing, I wish we could have stayed longer. We needed to leave early & the innkeeper accommodated us with breakfast to go.

United StatesI can't think of anything I didn't like about the place. The place was beautifully maintained. It was every thing that was advertised on line. I look forward in coming back when I don't have to work long days to enjoy another stay at the Babcock House.
I loved the location, it was near my activities. The comfort of the room and house was excellent. It was peaceful, after working the event for 10 hours It was great to come to the Babcock house and set and rest. It was like I was home. The place was beautifully maintained. It was every thing that was advertised on line. I look forward in coming back when I don't have to work long days to enjoy another stay at the Babcock House.

GermanyThis is a beautiful bed and breakfast, hosted by the owners in the historic town of Appomattox. The house is lovely, a beautifully renovated home in the vernacular of the area in the 1800s. The food was excellent as one of the owners is an accomplished chef. This is definitely worth a stop!

United StatesNot much at all to improve. Such a fine old historic inn w/ history.  The balcony out front is for all guests and not attached to one room. There was capsule coffee upstairs in the hall. The Rebecca room, no 4, had a double bed, not a queen. I think the rooms surrounding ours (3,5,6) seemed to offer queen beds, with 5 and 6 being on back corner thus having very sunny windows. But honestly you can’t go wrong at Babcock House!
Babcock house is the ultimate bed and breakfast experience. In a historic home in Appomattox, we enjoyed tremendous breakfasts after our nights in the Rebecca room on second floor. We enjoyed the balcony over the front porch as a storm began to set in. We read the reviews about dinner, so we then booked a reservation for Friday night supper. It lives up to all these reviews! The dinner menu was full of delicious options, and I can tell each was well prepared based on our two choices that evening. The cocktails were innovative. For what we were served, it was very reasonably priced. The breakfast came with the room, which was also an excellent package. One morning was, sausage, eggs and grits but with a twist. Another was French baguette, pancake with strawberry syrup and bacon. I can give kudos to this and keep a couple for knowing how to treat guests so they will come back. We spoke with another couple who comes three or four times a year from about an hour away. I think that speaks volumes!!

United StatesLovely house. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful. The bed was very comfortable with nice linens. There was coffee and tea available any time upstairs. There was a nice front balcony and an additional sitting room where you can read. The breakfast was excellent. There was homemade hash with eggs or French toast with some of the best bacon that they make themselves. I would definitely return.
