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.).

Rooms were ok but needed updating. No breakfast, which is my fault. I didn’t check that.

Verified reviewThe fireplace in the room was nice. The front staff was helpful.
We stayed at another Fireside Inn in West Lebanon, NH that was fantastic!! The atmosphere in NH was very warm and cozy & our room was beautiful. When we stayed in Bangor, I expected the same experience. The Bangor hotel hallways were bear and bland. Our room had one nice wall with the fireplace. The rest of the room was bland, no decor, the bathroom sink was at the doorway! The toilet too close to the wall. Bad design!! There was a hole in the wall near the tissue dispenser & there were small holes like something was removed from the wall. Very disappointing. Parking lot entry weird too.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your stay and review!

Verified reviewWe were given a pet friendly room when we did not request one. The room overwhelmingly smelled of wet dog. It was nauseating. I called the front desk and she said they were all booked so we could not have another room. We didn’t even want to take our clothes out to hang up because we were afraid the smell would get in them. We had to go buy a bottle of Febreeze to make it tolerable.
Everything was dingy. The comforters on the beds were old looking. The beds were not comfortable.
Dear Guest, We're sorry to hear about your experience! Most rooms at our hotel are pet friendly by default, and a non-pet friendly room has to be requested by the guest. Generally, we are more than happy to switch guest rooms if we have them available, but if we're full and don't have any more rooms, and a guest isn't happy with their stay, we are at the very least happy to do a no-fault checkout (where a guest checks out early and doesn't get charged). Thanks again!

Verified reviewIt was close to my daughters graduation which was at the cross center . It was close to restaurants, had pub on site and casino across the street.
It was older , 1990’s decor and bathroom had issues with toilet not flushing. It definitely could use an upgrade, but worked for the weekend.
Dear Guest, Thank you for your stay and review! We're sorry to hear about your experience with us! As far as we're aware, all of our toilets are in functioning order, though if there any issues, the front desk is always happy to have our maintenance team take a look. Thanks again!

Verified reviewThe staff were friendly and efficient. The parking was incredibly convenient for our room. They allow dogs, which was required for my stay and the room was very clean, if not a bit outdated. Geaghan's pub is in the same building as the hotel, so easy to get food whenever they are open. The casino is about 200 feet away from the motel, so easy to walk over and check it out.
Bangor, as a city, has really gone into a depression. The homeless population has increased significantly and they have been badly hit by the opioid epidemic and bath salts. While mostly harmless, it can be very unnerving.

Dear Guest, We're not aware of having double billed anyone, but please note that there is a security deposit that gets authorized at check in and returned to guest's cards (pending no incidental charges). Please also note that our staff will charge a guest's card in the event of a no show reservation if it is not cancelled in the proper time frame, as per Booking.com policy. If there are any billing issues during your stay, our staff would be happy to assist with them at checkout. Thank you.
