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...).

Travelling for a long time so this was a great little break from hotel rooms. Cooked our own meals and watched Netflix and had a hot spa while the laundry was done. Very close to the Truman Presidential Library and Hivee grocery store recommended by host. Great find.

United States of AmericaThe street that the place is located is pretty busy but they do provide ear plugs which is nice.
I love that they kept the old style of the house and didn't update it like most hotels. The room was clean and the bed was soft. The breakfast was the best part I've never had a better french toast.

United States of AmericaThe beds were extremely uncomfortable but not so much that I couldn’t sleep, just hard to adjust because the beds are very hard. The host did mention they are working on replacing the beds to another guest. If they do this, I would 10/10 recommend this place over staying in almost any other hotel in KC even if Independence is not the nicest town, I’m not sure if you’ll find a better deal.
The property was pretty, I loved the historic feel and the hosts were absolutely lovely, the breakfast was good and honestly for the price a really good find in a hotel near KC. The rooms were clean, the hot tub was nice and the snack bar was really cute, they provided an assortment of teas and snacks. Hosts were incredibly helpful, breakfast with other guests was delightful. We appreciated the option of Netflix compared to hotels who only carry cable. You first walk into this grand kitchen with a big island, I wanted to live in that kitchen, I just love their setup. Great experience!

A beautiful antebellum home to enjoy for the weekend! Accommodations were inviting and cozy. Owners were so friendly and ready to serve. Breakfast was delicious and enjoyable as guests and hosts casually visited with each others as if we all belonged there. We definitely will go back for a weekend retreat. Sites of KC easily accessible as are locally owned restaurants.

United States of AmericaThat I didn't have more time to enjoy the grounds. There was honestly nothing lacking here. I plan to return on my next visit to the area.
This was a lovely B&B, with many special touches and attention to detail. I was very comfortable and felt right at home in the Wren Cottage. Amy and Charles, the proprietors were gracious hosts, ensuring I had everything I needed and were very attentive to all guests!

AustraliaEverything was great.
Charles and Amy are wonderful hosts. The inn is beautiful and the breakfasts were amazing....homemade goodness. We were booked into one of the suites, but when we asked about laundry facilities, they were quick to "upgrade" us to the Wren Cottage which had a washer and dryer. It was a great bonus when you are in the middle of a 4 week trip around the USA.

United States of AmericaCharles greeted us and showed us to our very comfortable suite. The old place has an interesting history and has been set up as a gracious Inn. We were treated to a delicious homemade pancake breakfast served in their beautifully decorated dining room. We sat at the East facing table by the window where the heiress etched her name and the names of 3 suitors she rejected in the glass. The best thing about the in is how very welcoming the Innkeepers are.
