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 great and the bed was comfortable.
I booked this through booking.com and got a discounted price. The owner told they’d just let me pay them directly so she took my credit card and processed a payment about $50 more. She charged for our pups but when I called her before making the reservation I specifically asked how much it was for our pups and she told me no extra charge. She even elaborated how she doesn’t like charging extra for pets. When she took my card she apparently forgot that conversation. I thought about reminding her of our conversation but there were other guests so I decided to let it go.
So sorry. There was a mix up and I called and provided correct information. Emotional support pets are the only ones not charged.

Verified reviewFor it's historical value and location the overall experience was good, bed was very comfortable. young lady serving breakfast very polite and friendly. whole house very historic.
ac units right outside bedroom window of lacy room not overly troublesome but you do hear them, along with neighbouring room TV. breakfast we found odd as we were not offered a choice the host seemed to decide. by nationality, what you'd eat...very odd. so we ended up with a English breakfast but others pancakes etc. when we left the host didn't even leave the kitchen as we said goodbye, which we thought slightly off. in my view the property is old teetering on the edge of historical versus tired.
Well, we really screwed up on these guests. It has been our experience that all folks from the UK do not like American breakfasts and definitely want the UK breakfast of juice, mild sausage, thin sliced ham, scrambled egg, broiled tomato with cheese, seasoned pork and beans, toast with butter and orange marmalade - which we fix for them without asking. So now we will always ask when appropriate. You did mention the pancakes later in the meal and were readily offered to you but you said no. I did go out of the kitchen to tell you good-by but you were talking to other guests and I did not want to interrupt - but we did appreciate your business - and would have loved to hear of your displeasure in person. Yes the property is 150 years old. It is on the National Historical Register so we do not have the new, slick lines you might have preferred. Ours grounds just survived 3 hurricanes and a tornado in the past year. So we were in a big project to repair the grounds and the smaller damage to the house. It is in very good shape at present.

Verified reviewWow! What an amazing historic inn. We absolutely loved staying here and didn’t want to leave. The inn is absolutely beautiful and really felt like home from the moment we arrived. Pat made us feel so welcome right from the start. The room was so comfortable and was like stepping back in time to 1872 but with all the modern comforts you could want. In England you would pay just to look around an amazing historic home like this so to have the chance to stay here for 2 nights was a dream come true. The staff were all absolutely outstanding making us feel at home and helping us with advice on local places to go and activities. Pat’s homemade locally sourced breakfast was superb and with amazing homemade cookies available all day too, what more could you ask for? The town of Monticello is absolutely beautiful with lots of lovely shops and places to eat and everyone is so friendly and welcoming. At the end of a long day, taking time out sitting on the front porch in a rocking chair reading a book and admiring the trees and Spanish moss was just so relaxing. Pat and the staff have truly created something special with the Denham Inn. Outstanding! The best of the best. Thank you 🤩
Well, now I have a lump in my throat! Thank you, thank you for the beautiful review. We won't forget you and wish you newlyweds all the best life has to offer. Pzat

Verified reviewThe location was excellent! It lent itself to a very peaceful overnight stay. Green grass and flowers on the property and the host Ms Pat was so accommodating. I loved stepping back in time and seeing the gorgeous antiques and furniture. (Yet I never felt as if I couldn't relax in my room). Breakfast was superb - the whole nine yards!! And the coffee was real rich and good. Met lovely travelers at breakfast as well.
We are so happy you were able to share the evening with us on the front porch as well. What a pleasure to have you stay.

Verified reviewThis place is something special. The owner clearly put a lot of heart into it—everything feels incredibly warm and personal, like staying at someone’s beautiful home rather than a regular hotel. The breakfast was honestly one of the best I’ve had anywhere, made with care and absolutely delicious. It’s nothing like your standard 4-star hotel—it’s better. I’d love to come back and stay again.
Would recommend having room numbers on the doors upstairs.
So enjoyed your stay as well. Enjoyed getting to know you and the staff and I being able the provide the atmosphere and service the guests deserve.
