Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

CanadaThere was plenty of choice for breakfast. Pat made something hot every morning with always fresh fruit, yogurts, cereals, juices and coffee or tea. She is a very gracious host and caring. The location is in walking distance to the beach and some great restaurants. Close to everything. We look forward to our next visit!

United States of AmericaOur Kennebec room was a bit small but there’s plenty of larger spaces to spread out in the house and patio.
It is the most lovely craftsman home built in 1913. Our room had wonderful windows providing great natural light. Ceiling fan was great too! We could easily walk to restaurants and the beach area. Pat and Courtney were so kind and have thought of everything you might need or want during your stay.

United States of AmericaI don’t have any complaints about the property. Yes, it is an old house so it won’t have built in AC or heating, but the ceiling fans and mini heater available and ready to use in the room’s closet do justice.
It’s a very comfortable home! Very well kept and looks beautiful for it’s age.

Breakfast was very satisfying, fresh, and varied. Location was good with liquor, coffee, restaurant, retail, juice, and farmer's market nearby. Beach and art museum three blocks away. Safe area for walking. Architecture of homes and vegetation was enjoyable to experience.

United States of AmericaWe were told to park in the back, but it should have been emphasized exactly where to park, because we parked to the right and were towed by the apartments nearby. We should have been told to park ONLY on the left side. It was unclear to see the specific signs in the dark. The mattress in our room was worn and somewhat uncomfortable unless you slept at the edge. it showed wear in the middle. Also, the sink had a large crack in it.
This is a beautiful, old, meticulously clean and charming home. The room overall was comfortable and felt very homey. The owner fixed a fantastic breakfast every morning and was the star of the show. She was also caring and warm.

Breakfast: Fresh fruit dish daily. Hot main course daily. And plentiful to start the day. Host available to answer all questions a guest may have for sights to visit and recommendations for dining.

ThailandThe only think that was less than ideal is that, due to the nature of the building, privacy was a little compromised. The room was really comfortable, but because it was essentially just a bedroom in an old house, it didn't feel as private as a hotel room might.
My experience at Beachrunners was really great. I was expecting breakfast, but I didn't expect it to be so good! I was also really impressed by the all of the amenities and the attentiveness of the owner.

United States of AmericaRoom was smaller than expected off of photos and description (was listed as having a large shower and dressing area). Would work well for a simple get-away, but didnt have a whole lot of space to prepare and dress for special events in.
Very quaint and cozy, had a homey feel. Furniture and decor was classic and matched the craftsman feel of the home.

United States of AmericaThe rooms are tiny with very little space to access suitcases, but this is due to the way the structure is built the carpets in the bedroom need replaced or cleaned well
This is 100 year old plus structure preserved nicely for your stay. The beds were comfortable with crisp clean linens. The bathrooms were clean and the breakfast was superb.
