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 StatesMaybe a microwave around the fridge and snack area. Not necessary to have an amazing stay but would be a plus.
We were given a tour upon arrival where we learned some of the history of the home. The artwork and details in every part of this historic home will leave you in awe. Don’t even get me started on the breakfast! The coffee cake and baked peaches were my favorite. There was an abundance of food and so many options during breakfast. I couldn’t take another bite it was all so good. We had a wonderful stay and hope to cross paths with this place again.

United StatesThe hotel was run by a very cute couple - the lady toured us the house and how they collected the pieces. A house full of history and a gem if you are a connoisseur for art/home decor collections!! Also love the home-made breakfast, free dessert, and wine. Instead of a mere hotel stay it's more like an amazing experience

United StatesAs we walked into the foyer, we wondered right away about the cleanliness of the place. A clean entrance would be more welcoming. There was also a nice layer of dust on the furniture, windowsills, corners of the rooms. I think our hostess has her hands full and just does not have time to keep up with everything. The hall bathroom would definitely benefit from a fresh coat of paint.
The breakfast was beyond our expectations and totally delicious! The furnishings throughout the house were amazing. Almost like a museum-lights, antique furniture and wallhangings, the ornate fireplaces, ceilings and wallpaper as well as collectibles.Hearing about the history of the house was fascinating. Our bed was very comfortable! The snacks of cookies, cakes and sodas were available all the time and what we tasted was delicious! Our hostess is an amazing cook/baker!

United StatesDon't be mistaken by the outside appearance.
A very special house with many beautiful stuff. It's like a museum, Harry Potter fans will love it. Michelle is a wonderful host who cooks during early morning hours a very rich breakfast which is served in the dining room. The rooms have good bathrooms, TV, AC and heating. It's a bit of an adventure. Parking on the street in front of the house. A short walk to downtown and to the Mississipi.

United StatesGoing up and down all those stairs.
I booked my stay late (I was traveling to a funeral) and got the last room available, which was on the third floor. I was told that I would be sharing a bathroom with another room, which was fine with me...but the shared bathroom was on the second floor with 22 stair steps between my room and it. The room was the only one on the third floor, so it was quiet and private, which I appreciated.
