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 StatesWe didn't have any issues while we were at this property.
The location was fantastic and easy to walk anywhere we wanted to go in town. It was easy to get in and out to Acadia as well. Parking on site made life very easy. We enjoyed the included breakfast and they were able to simplify a couple dishes to meet kid expectations.

Beautiful hotel with a fabulous restaurant. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. This is a perfect location. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go in town, but it is just far enough up the street to avoid the crazy crowds.

United StatesWe enjoyed most everything about the property. My son wished for a pool or hot tub.
It was a newer property. It still smelled so fresh and clean! The carpet was incredibly soft and the beds were comfortable. We were located on the backside of the elevator shaft and we didn’t hear it once! We had a king room with a twin. The twin had a dividing wall to give privacy to the main bed which was perfect for our son to be with us, but have his own space. There was a tv in the twin space as well so he could do his own thing! The location was amazing. Off the Main Street and far enough down Cottage St so we didn’t have the congestion, but a short walk to EVERYTHING! Easy walk to the land bridge too. Exceptional breakfast included and free parking. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming as well.

The location was great! easy walking to downtown, ocean pier/walks, parks and shuttle bus service to National Park and beyond. The attached restaurant/bar was very good: good food, nice drinks and friendly staff.

United StatesPrice was pretty high but fair for the location and competitor rates. Worth it in my opinion, all things considered!
Location was perfect! Easy walking distance to all the shops and restaurants, as well as the harbor. The rooms were extremely spacious and clean with the comfiest hotel bed I've ever felt. Staff was excellent, especially the young man who checked us in - didn't get his name but he was awesome! I loved the daily treats at the front desk. Whoever baked them all has a talent! Complimentary breakfast was also very tasty.

The rooms are spacious with Ethan Allan furniture. The staff is really terrific, there is parking on site and the breakfast options are interesting and quite good. While most hotels are cutting costs, the owners spent money on this, and it shows. Great stay.

United StatesPillows were a little hard and too thick. We asked for softer, flatter ones. The parking under the building is pretty tight for larger vehicles, and not enough spaces if its a full house. There is a lot across the street. The TV system is too complicated (like most hotels seem to be.) I think the average traveler wants just the basic local channels to get the local weather and maybe a common movie channel for evening relaxation. Would have preferred a couple more basic breakfast options with appropriate pricing.
Pathmaker is obviously brand new (hotel since fall 2024, restaurant just opened a few weeks ago). Management seems to be setting a high bar. Towels and linens are high quality. Toiletries are very good quality, but in pretty small bottles. The included breakfast was not typical and very good, nicely presented (but not particularly kid-friendly.) Covered parking is very handy. Great location in town, easy walk to almost everything, except Acadia NP itself. Full service grocery store right across the street. Housekeeping staff is very nice and pretty easy to communicate with. Restaurant staff friendly and very competent.

We had the BEST stay at The Pathmaker! We got engaged while staying here, so Bar Harbor will always have a special place in our hearts. Wish we didn't have to travel for 30+ hours to get here, otherwise we'd be back tomorrow!! Beautiful room and really kind and accommodating staff!
