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 StatesLovely inn, beautifully maintained older building with spacious rooms and bathrooms. Bath products were first class. Our room had a fireplace which opened to both the room and the bath, we didn't use it in July! Breakfast is a nice basket of selected goodies. We ate ours on the side porch.

United StatesLocking the door from the outside was difficult and I feared breaking the key, but older buildings settle. Let's call it "character".
The room was spacious and comfortable. The toiletries were thoughtful and delightful. The breakfast basket, delivered to the door, was just decadent.

United StatesTV is horrible. Small screen and SD reception. Better to have no TV. Really a detriment especially during period of national crises. Also I found mattress very uncomfortable but spouse found very comfortable… So ?? Air Conditioner noisy and takes some time to get acclimated to the noise.
Breakfast boxes fine. Decent selection. Timely delivery.

A place where old world charm meets elegants. I cannot say enough about how great our stay was. The staff was so friendly and amazing. We have never stayed anywhere that has rteated us as if we were the most important guests. Mary, at the front desk was so welcoming and accommodating. She made us feel as if no request is unreasonable. Thank you for a wonderful stay. Let me add, breakast was very nice and informal its presented in a picnic basket sent to your room or enjoy it in the dining room. Dinner at the restaurant was amazing, expertly prepared and presented. 5stars

United StatesWe stayed at the Reluctant Panther for just one night -- a little mid winter getaway. The gas fireplace in our first room was having some mechanical issues so the staff upgraded us to a suite. Such a treat to play cards on the couch in front of the gas fireplace and take a jacuzzi tub before climbing into the huge comfy bed. Great breakfast in the restaurant. We could have chosen to have it delivered to our room. All in all, a wonderful winter respite!

United StatesThe breakfast basket was a cute idea- I just wish they had a hot vegan option! WiFi wasn't great but that wasn't an issue since we were there to relax and disconnect.
Great location, very friendly staff, easy parking, and access to multiple mountains for skiing. The town center is a short drive or about a 20-30 minute walk (in the snow). Additionally, multiple restaurants and bars are just a few minutes' walk away. It was a perfect short, cozy stay. The suite had plenty of room. It was definitely a little dated, but that's the feel we were looking for—comfortable and cozy! We loved having a fireplace in the room that was a huge bonus!
