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.).

Verified reviewThis is a beautiful hotel with lots of character. We loved the record player and old albums in the lobby and the rooftop seating area.
The only thing we did not like was that our room was very dark and there was no place to set things on( like a table or counter) other than the little coffee stand.

Verified reviewI love the atmosphere especially the outdoor patio space, the coffee cart with the best coffee available… yum! The downstairs was great with wonderful records! Also, I love the proximity to both the town and the river! Get your walking shoes ready because you won’t need to drive while in town.
I liked all

Verified reviewMy main concern in any hotel is cleanliness. I gave this place a10. On top of this, the place was absolutely beautiful! Liked the history and the pictures of the building. They did an amazing job remodeling it. Even adding a rooftop terrace.

Verified reviewProperty is walking distance from Main Street. Lobby is very eclecric and clean with a vinyl record player and large selection of records. The hotel only has 8 rooms and was extremely quiet. Our room was very clean and the beds are pretty comfortable. We loved the rooftop area but unfortunately didn't get to enjoy it due to rain. We've already booked another stay for the fall.
Everything was great. Just know there is not an elevator so if you have issues with steps you will want to book one of the 100 rooms on the main floor.

Verified reviewI love the history of the hotel and the brick all throughout the building. The record player was a nice addition. I just wish they would have had some Sinatra or Louis Armstrong. Our room was the Sunset on Broadway Suite and it had a romantic feel for our anniversary. We sat in the outdoor terrace and enjoyed a bottle of wine from the local winery. There is a dollar general market right across the street which was super convenient. We will definitely stay again! I did notice the ceiling light had some cobwebs, but everything else was perfect!
