Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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 States of AmericaThat we had to check out.
Sophie is a gem-I felt right at home from the moment I stepped into the house. The house is gorgeous and it’s an easy (and beautiful) walk to downtown. We ended up skipping many of the activities we had planned in Wilmington because we had more fun hanging out with Sophie at her home. Breakfast was delicious and made to order. You certainly won’t go hungry here!

United States of AmericaThe breakfast is made to order by Sophie and it could not be any better. There is private parking behind the house so you're not parked on the busy street. The location is only blocks from the waterfront and downtown, and you have easy access to nearby beach towns like Wrightsville Beach (15 minutes), Oak Island (35 minutes), and Ocean Isle Beach (45 minutes).

United States of AmericaThe host, Sophie personifies Southern charm and hospitality. She never ceases to put her guests’ needs and desires at the forefront of her priority list as demonstrated in every facet and detail of the amenities. Sophie even surprised us with a special signature cheesecake for our anniversary—another mark of her thoughtfulness. The immaculate, beautiful historical home and garden only further reflect her astute attention to detail. The breakfast and snacks were delicious and plentiful. Everything about the experience said, “Welcome home!” We have stayed in B & B’s worldwide and we’d rank Port City Guest House among the best.

United States of AmericaThis was one of the best Bed and Breakfast experiences we have had. Immediately felt right at home and relaxed. The bedroom was wonderful, the food was delicious and the company was fantastic. We will be sure to stay again when we come back to Wilmington! It was my wife's birthday and Sophia made sure this was a birthday to remember for years to come!

United States of AmericaThe other guests brought a dog. I think knowing this in advance would have been helpful. Fortunately, the dog was well-mannered.
Delectable breakfast! Mouthwatering French toast a huge hit. Sophie's hospitality added significant value to our trip. During breakfast, the other guests along with my significant other and I had meaningful, substantial dialogue that left us with something more to chew on upon our departure. The home is aesthetically pleasing, nicely furnished with vintage, Victorian pieces and colors. If you've been to one hotel, then you've been to them all. Why not try a bed and breakfast for a new experience! Highly recommended.

The host Ms. Sophie is wonderful. Bring your appetite every morning as breakfast is amazing- fresh fruits, coffees, teas, juices, followed by made to order (your way) eggs, bacon, sausages, pancakes, French toast etc . Rooms are spacious, extremely clean and very comfortable. Location in Wilmington could not be beat. Close to river, restaurants, battleship beaches and shopping. My wife and I will definitely stay with Ms. Sophie again.
