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 reviewLocation and Renovated Historic Facilities. The common lounges, bar and restaurant.
The grounds around some of the annex buildings had construction materials and / or storage materials left out in an untidy manner, which made an aspect of the grounds seem messy.

Verified reviewBed was comfortable, and staff are very nice and helpful.
Lodge room is so poorly lit that we needed our headlamps for everything except brushing teeth. Lodge room is so very tiny for two people. Must move sideways on far side of bed and to get around the sink. Only one side of bed has a night stand; if that were only issue, we wouldn’t mention it. Drom outside the room, the doorknob does not turn enough that the door can be closed quietly; it should work as well as it does from inside the room. I assume staff have noticed this. This means tha, during the night, when one person goes to use the bathroom, the noise wakes the other person. Finally, the tasting menu was uneven. Some dishes were worthy; others were disappointing.
Thank you for the great feedback. We are glad that the staff was great and the bed cozy! We will be happy to look into the door handle issue and have our maintenance team look into it. Thank you for mentioning it!

Verified reviewThe location and setting was amazing. The staff were super helpful and very accommodating. The onsite restaurant was delicious and had lots of vegetarian options for us. The yoga room was a nice amenity.
I wish there was an outdoor ahower next to the sauna.
Thank you! We appreciate the feedback! We are glad you enjoyed the staff and restaurant. We agree on the outdoor shower and can't wait for an upgraded sauna area hopefully coming soon! Thank you!

Verified reviewVery relaxing and scenic. We had a great dinner in the restaurant. The coffee bar was also very good.
Shower was dimly lit. The weather was exceptionally warm, a ceiling fan would have been nice. The walls were thin. Earplugs should be recommended.

Thank you for the feedback on the room, we appreciate hearing things from the guest perspective, as this helps us hone in on what changes we can make to make things as wonderful as we can.

Verified reviewThe property is very pretty and felt like summer camp
The road noise, the paper thin walls, the extremely hard-as-rock bed, the super squeaky wooden decking so you felt like you’d wake all the other people if you left early, the unprofessionalism of the front desk staff. The guy was eating pizza as he checked us in.

Verified reviewView nice-appreciated the lobby being open 24/7 since the room had no indoor seating options-only beds. Liked the nice porch chairs and all th outdoor seating options in both areas-lagoon and Penn Cove. I really liked the in room coffee option of pour over, vs having those annoying pod machines. Real half n half was also a nice touch.
For the price paid-the bathroom tiled/grout were in need of repair. The bathroom/shower room just needed a little sprucing up. Had to ask for cream and there were no napkins out with the coffee service
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We are glad you had a nice stay and appreciate the feedback. We are always happy to know the places where we hit the mark, such as our new pour-over coffee service, along with knowing places that might need an extra bit of love around property. Thank you for spending the time to let us know, and we will be happy to pass on to our management team. We hope to have you back again!

Verified reviewFrom the moment that you pull up to this location and enter through the very beautiful unique entrance, you know that the stay is going to be special. The grounds around the hotel are spectacular as well as the amenities. Being able to sit by a fire pit and watch the sun go down over the water was an incredible moment to have as was being able to get coffee and sit in the sauna the next day.
The food in the restaurant was fantastic as were the drinks. However, some of the staff were not the friendliest, and there was a lot of confusion about who can eat at the restaurant and who could not that kind of ruined the vibe of having dinner there on location.

Verified reviewThe first night was a nightmare. A guest had a breakdown of some sort and we could not sleep as all the racket was outside our room. There were two sheriffs and three medics talking loudly in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, the receptionist was not interested in discussing the incident because she may have to offer a discount. Second night was loud to begin with since it was raining, the guests were gathered in the reception area directly below our room. It slowly quieted down and we were able to get some rest.

Verified reviewThe room and the lagoon setting were marvelous.
Wait service at the restaurant seemed puzzled by simple issues and requests - and the flow of service seemed haphazard, with a 30 minute wait for the appetizer, which the server hadn't seemed to be aware of. A notice that one of our party was a pescatarian resulted in a dish served with pork belly.
Hello Dean! We are glad you enjoyed your stay in the Lagoon. We will pass along your experience in the restaurant to management, that is not typical, but we are always looking for ways to improve. We take dietary requests seriously in the kitchen, and are disappointed that this happened. Thank you for letting us know!
