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...).

The location is amazing. The hotel is right across from the Village Green and gives you instant access to the heart of Bar Harbor.

United StatesWhile I found parking each of the two evenings I stayed, it was tight and limited. During peak season it is likely a bigger challenge.
This hotel is easy to find and located in the heart of the village. My room was in the older building, and while on the small side it was perfect for me. Everything was very clean and well maintained. My bed was very comfortable and while I was there it was quiet and restful. I used the outdoor hot tubs and they were also clean and heated to a good temperature. The staff was very helpful, but not very engaging.

United StatesMy only minor complaint is that the shower and sink in the bathroom were backing up and the toilet was hard to flush (handle hard to push down and it make a loud "clunk" sound when you did). But these are things that can be fixed.
The property is beautiful, staff very friendly, location is perfect (walking distance to everything downtown). Shanay was especially friendly :)

United StatesThere was some ambient light coming in around the window, and a bit of traffic noise from the street. Our room was at the front of the building.
The location is absolutely perfect...close to downtown Bar Harbor shops and restaurants and pubs. Breakfast was terrific, especially the omelets! The room was spacious, comfortable, and clean, and we slept well. I really appreciated the use of the bikes to cruise around town while my wife was shopping. I loved this place!

United StatesWe booked a queen room with no idea it would be on second floor with no elevator! One building has an elevator and one does not! Luckily the lady at front desk who checked us in carried our bags up the steps! Very generous of her! Very kind person! I would say make sure you’re either on first floor or the building with the elevator if steps can be an issue for you.
Location, location! It’s great right across the street from park and close to water and downtown area! Free Breakfast was delicious!
