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 StatesWater tasted and smelled like sulfur / rotten eggs. While the place is good for the money, it is the type of place with single ply toilet paper and rough bath towels. Wifi signal was basically non-existent. Breakfast was basically some coffee, bagels, and muffins from the grocery store... better than nothing, but I am also the kind of person that does not really care for hotel breakfasts and would rather explore local cafes/restaurants.
Nice, cozy, and classy place. Host was very friendly. Check in was very easy (just pick up your key from the office... no one was there). Comfy room and bed.

United StatesWe were a little disappointed that there is no longer a restaurant or bar on premises which would have enabled us to meet and mingle with other guests. Television service was not available during our stay but we could well do without for a day or two. And while we appreciate efforts to minimize waste there was no hand soap in the room. (Fortunately we had brought our own).
For our purposes the location was ideal as we had planned to attend the 4th of July fireworks in Cairo. The hotel is charming with an interesting history. Each room has a different decor and while very basic has everything one needs. Located on a back road and with a lake behind the hotel the vibe is peaceful and serene. Breakfast was simple but did offer a variety of fresh fruit and the coffee was very good. We enjoyed our morning meal and a bit of reading on the wrap around porch which was delightful.

United StatesSeemed to have missed the 'free' breakfast.
Very quirky establishment straight out of The Shining. Must have been a gem in its heyday and the pictures on the walls and misc. bric a brac was charming. It was odd to us that the staff left around 2pm and we were simply left a key on the front desk but that was no bother. Wifi was good. Free bottled water as tap water was from nearby sulfurous well. Great to sit on the porch with a cocktail and a cheese plate.

United StatesIt’s hard to give a fair hospitality rating it as it seems like the hotel wasn’t taking other guests at this time (we were the only ones), but we appreciated that the manager accommodated us for a very last minute booking.
The property is beautiful and historic!

United StatesReservation said "breakfast included". However "breakfast" is a voucher of $7.50 per person to spend at a local restaurant which does not even cover the price of a cup of coffee and a small pastry.
Clean and comfortable.

United StatesThe only cons that we found were the taste of water is extremely strange not sure why ( we forgot to ask) The hotel is an old building so no lift you need to carry your luggage
We booked this hotel despite so many recent negative reviews thinking ours will just be a one night stay how bad can it get…we took a risk since we had 2 toddlers and one infant with us….surprisingly all went extremely well…the hotel staff were very cordial and polite…free breakfast had a lot of good options…rooms were clean though the tv was not working but we were aware of it while booking so we dint care…they had board games for kids so the kids could have screen free time actually…..all in all we liked it and specially it was the cheapest hotel we found and luckily the hotel did not disappoint us.by the way the back side of the hotel has a lake with an amazing fall view which is an extreme plus.

This property is a beautiful old hotel. Upon entering I felt like I was in Germany in 1900’s. Personally I love that. The host was very friendly. The room was clean. The bathroom needs some updating. They have wonderful fire pits to sit around. A nice experience for one night.

United StatesI didn't like the fact that there was no night staff. The whole building needs updating. Lighting, sprinkler system, door locks, etc. For folks who like historical Inns, this one has lots of memorabilia on the walls which is fun to read.
The staff that greeted us was very sweet and helpful. The breakfast was good with fresh fruit and nice muffins. The outside porch is a wonderful place to enjoy the grounds and singing birds. The beds were very comfortable.

United StatesThere was a paper at check-in with our key, rather than a person. However, I walked into the bar and all of my questions were answered. The hallway to our room was very dark but Hannah came up and brought a lamp to the outside of our room. The bathroom water had a rotten egg smell, Hannah mentioned it could be from the Sulphur in the water. We could not get WIFI in our room. The owners were aware and working on fixing those issues.
The building, the room was very clean, the staff was wonderful, the dinner was amazing!!! I enjoyed the setting. It was easy to find and close to the interstate we were taking.

United StatesThe place needs a lot of TLC. We have stayed in older inns than this that were in much better condition. Even down to just tidying up, looking out our window, the adjacent roof had a debris on it like two old rusty window screens just lying around. Would have been nice to know the history of the place as well. The gentleman who checked us in was nice enough but seemed very busy. So not a lot of time spent at the desk on check in and we never saw anyone again except for the waitress in the dining room the next morning for breakfast who was very nice. Not sure we’d go back.
Great old house. Love the layout and the design. Our room was a very large.
