Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

United StatesReally good location. Solid value. Good news — quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the North Conway strip. Mildly inconvenient news for some — quiet and away from the hustle and bustle of the North Conway strip. Breakfast was a welcome addition and enough to get you going, but not an expansive dinner bonanza.

I love that it’s hidden in the woods. I loved it even more that the couple who owns it, built it and live in it.

United StatesThis is a great location right on The Kancamagus highway. Bed and breakfast ran by Joe and Janet. They have been here since the 80s, very knowledgeable about the area. Breakfast choices include cold cereals, hard boiled eggs and Jimmy Dean sandwiches. The rooms are very clean and spacious. You have a midsize refrigerator and microwave. Cable was good. Nice and quiet place. Well worth the stay, prices reasonable and opportunity to support a local business. No crowds, amazing outdoor property with hiking nearby.

IsraelBreakfast is great but has somewhat limited choice of eggs and cheese: either hard-boiled eggs or heated pre-made egg, cheese and sausage sandwich. Would be nice to have more choice of eggs (e.g. scrambled eggs) and some selection of cheese and diary spread such as cream-cheese.
Warm and welcoming reception by the owners. Owner is very involved, likes to hang-out with the guests and provide useful and detailed tips about the area. Very large and well-equipped and clean rooms. Complementary breakfast products are available all-day long at the dining room. including fruits, yogurt, juice, cereal, tea' coffee, snacks and cookies. Location is on the Kancamagus Hwy and very close to its main attractions. The property includes a private stretch of the river-bank with private trails and picnic tables, allowing you to avoid the crowd while enjoying a relaxed recreation at the Kancamagus river.

United StatesThe hotel location is ideal: on the Kancamagus Highway and very close to what North Conway town has to offer. Perfect for visiting the White Mountains. The B&B hosts are the best! They are extremely helpful, friendly, fine people. It felt delicious to be hosted by them.

United StatesThe owners are lovely and the location can't be beat. The facility itself is not at all modern, so if that is something you care about, you would probably be happier at a more modern lodge. I care about cleanliness and a comfy bed, both of which were excellent.

United StatesThere was a strong mildew odor as soon as we walked in. I was lucky my allergies didn’t act up! The property, furniture and amenities are from the late 70s and in serious need of updating. I asked for the Breakfast sandwich and it was of poor quality (frozen and reheated). The Toiletries were tiny and very cheap. The $240 a night charge is double of what it should be. I am glad we only stayed one night. Owners should engage a hotel consultant to bring the property to acceptable standards.
Hosts were very nice.
