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 reviewThe location was fantastic and easy to walk anywhere we wanted to go in town. It was easy to get in and out to Acadia as well. Parking on site made life very easy. We enjoyed the included breakfast and they were able to simplify a couple dishes to meet kid expectations.
We didn't have any issues while we were at this property.

Verified reviewBeautiful hotel with a fabulous restaurant. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. This is a perfect location. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go in town, but it is just far enough up the street to avoid the crazy crowds.

Verified reviewIt was a newer property. It still smelled so fresh and clean! The carpet was incredibly soft and the beds were comfortable. We were located on the backside of the elevator shaft and we didn’t hear it once! We had a king room with a twin. The twin had a dividing wall to give privacy to the main bed which was perfect for our son to be with us, but have his own space. There was a tv in the twin space as well so he could do his own thing! The location was amazing. Off the Main Street and far enough down Cottage St so we didn’t have the congestion, but a short walk to EVERYTHING! Easy walk to the land bridge too. Exceptional breakfast included and free parking. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming as well.
We enjoyed most everything about the property. My son wished for a pool or hot tub.

Verified reviewThe location was great! easy walking to downtown, ocean pier/walks, parks and shuttle bus service to National Park and beyond. The attached restaurant/bar was very good: good food, nice drinks and friendly staff.
No coffee in the room. Getting fully dressed in early morning in order to get coffee/tea in the lobby is not convenient.

Not having a safe in our room. These days you expect one. Glad we didn’t have a ground floor room Far too close to the street.
