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 reviewLove the quaint old time feel of this Inn. Like stepping back in time including a working rotary phone in the room! Our king room 226 had an amazing view of the river and comfortable bed. We wish we had stayed for dinner. We thought the restaurant was in the basement so went for a walk and ate elsewhere. Afterwards, we found it was behind the Inn in a seperate building and it was absolutely lovely and should not have been missed!

Verified reviewThe continental breakfast is awesome. There are alot of different choices, gluten free, assorted bars, muffins, yogurt, both regular milk and almond milk. French toast, assorted bagels, english muffins. Asorted jelly, honey and peanut butter, cream cheese. Many flavors of coffee and tea.
We stayed here last year as well, but in a suite. The bed was extremly comfortable. This time we stayed in a standard room with two queen beds. My husband and I started out together in one bed the first night, but it wasn't comfortable for me, so I switched to the second bed, that one was about the same. Not the best matteress but not the worst either.

Verified reviewIt was a charming renovated mill building. The lobby was warm and inviting. There is a notebook in the lobby that says where different architectural pieces are from. Our room was clean and the bed was very comfortable! Breakfast was small , however the quality of the offerings was high. We sat out by the river one afternoon and it was sooo peaceful. The restaurant is attached via a covered walkway but there are also other restaurants within walking distance. I would definitely recommend this inn!!!
I didn’t like the housekeeping gratuity was added.

Verified reviewThe room was clean and decent
Noise from the room next door and over head travelled straight into ours, which kept us awake. Breakfast was very minimal: some yogurt containers, instant oatmeal, and muffins in individual plastic ziplock bags. Don't expect much of a meal.

Verified reviewRooms are clean but simple with few amenities, but the few amenities are unique quality items such as the face soap provided. The restaurant is decent and had some barbeque specials that are very tasty. Enjoyed the resident cat who is people friendly. The Barn Cafe is short walk and serves delicious breakfasts and lunch. Really enjoy the setting of the Comman Man location in small town in New Hampshire.
Claremont city water isn't drinkable. The resident cat doesn't have clean fresh water to readily drink.
Hi Kirkman...Thank you for the review! We are thrilled you enjoyed your stay. I apologize that you felt the city water wasn't "drinkable", I can assure you it is safe to drink, but we also provide free water bottles in each room for our guests, as I am sure you are aware. As for our Inn kitty, Clare; she actually gets filtered water daily along with high quality cat food and treats that our guests are able to give her should they just ask. Trust me, she is very well cared for, loved and spoiled as she should be :) I'm curious as to what other amenities you would like to see in your room. Please feel free to share additional details with us by emailing me directly at elisha@thecmaninn.com. Your objective feedback helps our team address the areas where we excel and where we can improve. We look forward to your return! Elisha Moody Innkeeper

Verified reviewThis place was like something out of a dream. Old world charm, wonderful staff, beautiful scenery. Beds were so comfortable! We stayed in the room above the restaurant so the view of the sugar river was right out the window. It was a wonderful visit and I will be staying again in the future.
The head of the shower was funky and could be replaced at some point lol
