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 room was cosy and quiet. I loved having the separate living room. The bathroom was clean, and the view was spectacular.
The power went out....some electric candles would have been appreciated, although we did have a flashlight so we were okay.

Verified reviewThe view was amazing and it was very cozy.
These didn't come close to impacting the experience, but it was difficult to reach any staff members when needed due to office hours (ice). It would have also been nice to use the fire place and there was no AC. Otherwise a fantastic experience.

Verified reviewLocation was good, loved the back garden & deer that visited, also & restaurant downstairs was fabulous ! Also loved the table across the street, so nice for sunsets. Also cliff walking trail was good.
Traffic noise ... being in a suite that faced the corner there was a little traffic noise if we had the window open at busy times early in the morning. Also not so private when sitting on the porch, but hey very nice inside the room. Working out the TV operation was challenging, instructions not seen anywhere on remotes ?

Verified reviewIt is a lovely heritage house. Our suite had a sitting room which was lovely. The king bed was very comfortable and the pillows were very, very nice. The bathroom was well equipped. Our suite was very clean and welcoming. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to others.
There was nothing I disliked.

Verified reviewThe Bonniebrook is in a quiet location just west of Gibson's marina. It is right on the ocean; there is beach access and nice quiet walk west along the coast.

Verified reviewThe view was incomparable. The suite was beautiful and very comfortable. The restaurant was excellent. Lovely location with gorgeous seaside walks. There was a huge TV which I didn't watch but some people would love it. There was a lovely balcony with a view of the ocean
It was a long walk to the beach which the photos implied were closer to the property. The staff were friendly but hard to get hold of. A car is necessary to visit the village. I had thought breakfast would be available and I was wrong

Some kind of breakfast in the morning. Even providing coffee would have been nice. Wanted to dine at Chasters but it wasn't open during our stay... Hard to believe, as it was Summer!

Verified reviewThe dinner at the restaurant was wonderful!!
The tv opened three times in the middle of the night!!! To eliminate the problem at 3:00am… we unplugged the tv. Next morning we informed the reception desk…. The answer was: they were sorry… the tv control is shared with other rooms… so if someone open his tv at 2 o’clock at night it opens in the other rooms!!!

Verified reviewThe fact that it was across from the ocean and that it had a balcony with lots of fresh air
The mustiness of the room when we first arrived but once we aired out the room it was great
