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 StatesWe We didn't like all the restrictive rules (check-in time, breakfast time, checkout time). We did not like the parking situation. We especially did not like the email that told us that their time was more important than ours and that we would have to adjust our travel schedule to meet THEIR needs or wants. We especially didn't like their late fee for arriving after 6:00 PM. We did not like that the shower/vanity were open to the sleeping area. We could understand why but still didn't like it since I am an earlier riser and my wife is a late riser. All of these items were turnoffs. won't be returning even if we are in the area.
The B&B was located OK for our travels but we probably wouldn't return. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. We liked it was near restaurants (one that we particularly enjoyed).

United StatesThis house has been beautifully restored, with so many lovely design touches. It maintains its charm and character yet offers modern conveniences like a multiport charging device in the bedroom and a really great walk-in shower. Stephani, the host, was welcoming and accommodating and happy to engage in conversation. And she makes a great breakfast—a dutch baby fresh from the oven. The Gridley Inn is a short drive from Seneca Falls and for dinner I had excellent Mexican food at La Fiesta Brava just a two minute walk from the inn.

It was nicely presented, however the strawberry was hard. The quiche seemed to be heated in a microwave making the inside very hot. Our host facilitated engaging and informative conversations with all the guests.

United StatesThe Gridley Inn is a beautiful and warm building with an interesting history. It is spacious and has a tasteful decor. It is conveniently located between Seneca and Cayuga Lake and is a perfect base to explore cities like Rochester, Geneva, and Ithaca. Wineries, Cider Houses, waterfalls, and museums are „just around the corner.“ Madison prepared an out of this world breakfast every morning and we were welcomed like family.

United StatesYes, downtown Waterloo's a bit down at the heels - though there are delicious restaurant choices nearby. But it's just a short hop to Seneca Falls and other places, too.
The breakfast was delicious - though there was just the single offering - very well prepared. Steph, the host, regaled us with stories as we ate.

United StatesThe one suggestion I would make to the owners would be is to upgrade the toilet tissue.
This was my second time staying at the Gridley Inn, and it was great. The decor of the Inn is historical and outstandingly beautiful. The beds are incredibly comfortable, and I slept very well. Instead of the typical breakfast buffet, the owners of the Inn actually cook up a wonderful meal for each guest in the morning. In the evening before I went to sleep I spent some time relaxing down stairs in the living room, reading and enjoying the surroundings.
