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 Statesbreakfast was great - it was so nice to have that available in the morning to start the day! we were so close to the Cliff Walk and it was so nice to just step down onto the path and be on our way! we were also not a bad walk from "town" - we walked from the Tennis Center and it was maybe 15 min.

United StatesThe beach is not good. We were too concerned about the algae There are not very many restaurants or shops nearby. There was no information given at our arrival. The in person greeting was disappointing. We were not made to feel welcome as the other hotel we stayed in Newport greeted us. It was a strange arrival. There was a fire pit but it was only lit once we saw in our way to dinner. There was no mini fridge in the room to store drink or such and the kitchen is not really available for guests to use.
Being near the Cliff Walk was wonderful! But not much else to do. The bed was comfortable and the view from the Turner Suite was great. Plenty of space in the suite to sleep and rest too. The breakfast was nice. The porch is wonderful. The common rooms are beautiful.

United StatesOur bed in the Blue Room - the feet of the bed were higher up than the head. This is partially due to the fact that the rear feet are on a rug, and also due to the age of the building and the slanted floors. All the same, it would be very nice to have risers on the legs near the head to level out the bed.
I loved everything about the property. The breakfast was amazing, as well as the wine and cheese hour each evening. They had bottled water available and snacks out at all hours. Parking was easy, and I loved the privacy of the property, too.

United StatesEverything was wonderful and the staff beyond helpful and welcoming.
I cannot rave enough about this inn. From the elegant decor to the delicious spread for breakfast, each detail of the stay was a nice touch. I had the sun room and just being able to look out into the courtyard and beyond from the very comfortable window bench calmed my spirits. Also, the property was steps away from the cliff walk which was a bonus for me.

United StatesI wish or hope they don’t make it too trendy as old world is what people come to Newport for. Plus this house is a site of historic interest. The Gilded is too trendy and seems cheap. Very different clientele
By ocean. Old world decor with minimal trendy updates. Very luxe rooms. Great location by water. All around nice

United Statespretty smokey from the fireplace,even in our room..we were in the Governor’s suite which is very nice, except the tub had a leaky faucet.Spent the first night listening to it, then laid the faulty faucet head down. Apparently the part is on order. A note on the tub would have been nice to not have to listen to it the first night. or wrap a towel around it..
Great location, lovely sitting areas. very nice staff

United KingdomMay be emphasise the amount of stairs for the top floor rooms for any one with either a lot of luggage like us or may be with mobility issues. Needed steps (provided by the hotel) to get into the abnormally high bed so felt it was slightly hazardous if you forgot during the night.
Great location near the cliff walk. Stylish individual rooms. Liked the wine hour from 5pm to 6pm. Liked having a fire in the room especially as it was abnormally cold. Staff were very helpful.
