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 KingdomNothing major. I found the pillows on the bed a little firm but that is a personal preference.
A house with history, wonderfully decorated, comfortable and situated a very short walk from restaurants in Pictou. The owners were very friendly and the breakfast excellent. Tea and coffee was available during the stay in the dining room (self serve) and the rooms cater for small items that may have been forgotten, e.g. razors, mouthwash, tissues. Bottles of water were also available for each guest in the rooms.

United KingdomWhat a lovely experience staying at this beautiful Victorian stately home in charming Pictou. The kind owners showed so much care and pride for their property and we loved interacting with them, and other guests, which we enjoyed so much. It was wonderful to learn how they transformed this wonderful, quiet, place. There is free parking onsite. We chose this accommodation on our way to Cape Breton and it couldn’t have been an easier drive from Halifax International Airport. We loved the maritime themed room, but any of the them would have been wonderful. The breakfast was out of this world! Served in the dining room on fine china and tablecloths, the Eggs Bennie were amazing! We can additionally really recommend the Waterview Restaurant in town, it had great food! We found the location so convenient for our road trip to Cape Breton. Thank you very much for your hospitality! And all the best of success this holiday season.

Canada"We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Seabank House, a stunning venue on Saturday night, as we were attending a wedding in town. From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the sheer beauty and elegance of the place. The old New World style decor was tastefully done, making us feel like royalty - literally, like a Queen and King! Every detail was meticulously thought out, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The perfect blend of classic charm and modern amenities made our stay truly unforgettable. But what really made our stay stand out was the exceptional service and hospitality. The staff went above and beyond to ensure our every need was met, making us feel like true VIPs. If you're looking for a place to stay that will make you feel like royalty, look no further! This venue is truly fit for a Queen (and king). We can't wait to come back and experience it all again."

CanadaWe stayed for four nights and was a fantastic base for exploring Pictou and surrounding beaches and areas . The hosts Elizabeth and Glenn were welcoming and went beyond the expected to make our stay comfortable and fun . The rooms were exceptional, comfortable beds and bathroom and breakfast was wonderful . A comfortable living room and close to town for restaurants and sightseeing. I’m glad we had a multiple Night stay to enjoy the house , hosts and the locals ! The house dog Cassie was a sweetie and the hosts were informative and great company. Such a lovely east coast experience with two fantastic beaches within a 1/2 hr drive and local seafood that was stellar … thank you for a wonderful vacation
