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.).

Great location with good views of the beach and boardwalk. Relaxing and peaceful place to stay for a couple or a small group of adults.

The Inn is beautiful and our room was very comfortable. It's doesn't have A/C, but they do have portable fans, which were perfect for the weather. Great location for getting to the Boardwalk, beach and Downtown.

United StatesAC would be nice but I really didn't need it. I left windows open and shades down. I also had a fan in my room. The breakfast was limited. Not for everyone. Would have liked a bagel & cream cheese or donuts or muffins. We just walked across the street to the Dream Inn's restaurant and had breakfast.lov
room very nice and comfortable. Great location to the wharf and boardwalk. lovely ocean breeze. Nice view of ocean from upper front porch with 4 comfy chairs. We had a room with the hot tub which we used and enjoyed.

United StatesIt is not that I did not like it, but our tub came with jets and only 2 of the jets worked. It was not advertised as a jacuzzi tub, but next time I will request a room with a jacuzzi.
This was my first time staying at his location. Everything was immaculate. The breakfast was great. The dining hall was clean and welcoming. The staff was amazing, and the wine, cheese and fruit was just an added bonus. We had a great view of the boardwalk and the fireplace in the living area was warm and cozy. It almost felt like being at home. I did not want to leave.

Lovely hotel in a lovely little coastal town. It has everything you expect from a boutique hotel: customer orientation, attention to details, cozy atmosphere... The location is great, the building is looking good. You basically have the beach near you. Also the pier is even closer.

United StatesThe temperature control in the room was a challenge. It is not well regulated- you need to balance the open window with the fully on furnace.

United StatesNo, can't think of anything. Enjoy!
The staff was friendly, helpful and accommodating. The breakfast had a variety of fresh baked goods, a hot dish, cereal, fresh fruit and hard boiled eggs (a favorite of mine, non-dairy). The afternoon wine hour had a variety of nibbles. Also, the the place was spotless and there are lots of hard wood floors! Great view of the ocean and the boardwalk. We were there for the Christmas holidays and the house was beautifully decorated and very homey.
