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):
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.
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.).

United StatesThe mattress was not to our liking. Could use a new mattress. Hot water in the shower was hit or miss.
Located out of the downtown area but still close by. Fire pits were a nice touch. All cooking utensils with exception of stove.

United StatesWould have been nice if they were a bit closer to downtown Bar Harbor but I'm sure the price would have gone up if that were the case!
When I hear motel and cottages, my expectations are on the lower end. I was presently surprised when we opened the door to our cottage, however! The room was great and the kitchen was well stocked with dishes, etc. While we didn't use the outdoor amenities, it was nice to see there were grills and fire-pits along with corn hole boards. Very lovely accommodations!

United StatesOver the course of traveling on a 3-week road trip this was the most expensive property we stayed in. It's somewhat understandable given the proximity to Acadia, yet simultaneously a negative.
You all have done a wonderful job turning a roadside cottage-style motel into a solid property. We appreciated the light-nature of the rooms and small touches including things like a fresh sponge, travel-size dish soap, as well as the obvious attenion to detail when it came to things like the retro refrigerator look, fluffy towels, etc. And, the outdoor grill / fire pit / corn hole etc area was great to spend some family time together. All in all, we really enjoyed your property.

United StatesOverall no major concerns. We wish there was tea available in the room for the price we paid. There was a kettle and coffee but no tea bags. I’m sure we could have gone ask but when we noticed it was after hours and we were there during a holiday so we didn’t get the chance. The shower was a bit small but I guess once the place is built that’s hard to change. Also the wifi worked better in certain spots inside the room but not all - best wifi connection was actually outside in the courtyard.
Room was big, clean and comfortable. We didn’t really use the kitchen but it was nice to have the option. The property is very silent and peaceful despite being close to the road. It was nice to sit under the trees after a long day. Check in and out was easy and smooth. This is not in downtown Bar Harbor but we didn’t mind as it was a short ride and we weren’t in the middle of the hustle downtown. This place is actually more convenient than hotels downtown for accessing Acadia National Park - it is closer to the Hulls cove visitor center where all the shuttles leave from, which is nice to have given how quickly the parking lots fill up at the trailheads. Lots of dining options and coffee shops within 5min by car. Would recommend!

Although we never saw a staff member, they were accessible and responsive via text. 5. Outside community areas lead us to getting to know other travelers as we visited around the fire pit in the evening.

United StatesHanscom's was a DELIGHT! We had never been to Bar Harbor & our stay at Hanscom's helped us have the perfect visit. The rooms have been recently & expertly decorated. Their interior designer is a genius because everything fit perfectly. There is a purpose behind every single detail, yet the furnishings are beautiful. It's minimalist decor because of the size, but it doesn't feel minimalist. We had 2 different types of rooms. One for us & one for our 3 kids. Our room had a queen bed, 2 bedside tables, a full size comfortably chair, a bench at the foot of the bed, a full-size chest for the TV & a collapsible leather folding chair PLUS a bar height mini island with 2 stools. That mini island served as both a table for quick meals & a workstation for my husband. Our kids' room also had a queen bed, but instead of the 2 chairs, there was a full size 3 cushion sofa that pulled out to a queen sofa bed. 2 bedside tables for the queen bed & 2 end tables for the sofa. This room had a little dining table with a few chairs that tucked perfectly against the wall. Both rooms had full bathrooms with showers, no tub. We don't use tubs & don't require them while traveling, so not an issue for us. Both rooms were furnished with efficiency kitchens that we put to use! They were perfect for making light meals. The small fridge/freezers were also extremely helpful. Each room had a keurig & came with 4 regular coffee pods & 2 decaf. Creamer & sugar/sugar substitute provided. Each kitchen had literally everything you need to cook a light meal. Decent knives, a few pots & pans, cutting board, utensils. Microwaves & electric cooking ranges in the rooms, no ovens. The towels were wonderful!!!!! Bed linens were good. Mattresses could use a refresh in terms of comfort, but we made do & it didn't keep up from thoroughly enjoying our stay! We also loved having the fire pit & corn hole.
