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.).

The property was right on the Sound, which was lovely. It seems to be a gathering place as they had live entertainment in the evening. The cafe was a real convenience with breakfast complementary. Pool available.

United StatesI would be advised it is a newlywed destination… the couple above us had a really fun night, thankfully my 17 year old son found it humorous. ;)
Absolutely a dream. I am so happy I took the chance of staying on the Bay Side of the island. The Inn on Pamlico Sound is an absolute treasure, I felt almost like I was on another planet. The sky & the ocean were nearly the same color & I took break-taking photos! The breakfast, cookies, jacuzzi tub, bathrobes (we bought one to take home!), resort clothing (I bought two soft hoodies) the VIEW & staff were the highlights!

United StatesOur hot tub in our room was not working, the last night we were there my husband figured out that the outlet had to be reset. We are on our honeymoon and that would have been wonderful to use.
The breakfast was delicious, we did not have to add any seasoning to the food it was perfect. Our hostess Willow which we had both mornings was a wonderful, sweet, excellent person. We loved her personality, so much, she was so helpful and also the most beautiful smile.

United StatesThe stay overall was lovely, but our room shared a wall with the restaurant. Noise from the staff and diners was easily heard through the walls relatively early before the breakfast started, as well as relatively late after dinner hours. There was nothing that could be done about this, unfortunately… Another minor complaint was that drain stopper in the tub in our room was leaky so I was unable to use the jet tub to take a bath. I did not mention this to any of the staff, because it seemed silly to complain about something like that.
The location of this place was incredible! Gorgeous views of the sound from the room and restaurant. There was a beautiful large deck, a small pool that would be perfect for floating, and a winding dock going out to the water. My husband and I stayed in the Sunflower room and it was very clean and comfortable. The breakfast was included (minus a $5 gratuity per person) and the food was divine. Each member of the staff was super friendly and we were always greeted with a smile. Fresh coffee was available in the common area every morning and fresh cookies were available every afternoon. There was a theater room and a huge selection of movies to choose from if you’d like. The Inn has a selection of bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, life jackets, etc. for guests to use for free whenever they’d like. Unfortunately the weather was too cold and windy for us to take advantage of these, but maybe next time! Overall, this place felt so much more personal and relaxing than a “regular” hotel and it was a refreshing break in the least touristy part of the OBX.
