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 StatesWould have enjoyed a TV but we were actually fine without it. A blow dryer would have been good. I actually brought my own but thinking of others.
Didn't have breakfast. Location was great! Loved the private beach. Very peaceful and relaxing. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area.

United StatesWe enjoyed the older ambience as I told my husband it brought me back to travel in younger days and good memories of life in uncomplicated times and natural beauty,, simple joys of nature surround Tides Inn. No fluff.
Loved the view and surprised how close to the water. Mark served an amazing breakfast w fresh boiled eggs and yummy blueberry buscuits and popovers we relished! Trish gave us great tips on what to see and mapped an itinerary better than a tourist center. We enjoyed fireplace in common room and watching football w Mark and just reading one evening.

United StatesI think that the foods were limited in selection. Hard boiled eggs are not expected for a morning meal. The fresh bakery was actually two items. With the size of the dining room, they should have a real cook who can better serve a regular breakfast fare.
The staff was very accommodating.

United StatesInnkeepers are new, doing their best to provide exceptional customer service. Some of the furniture is dated and landscaping needs attention.
If you are looking for a friendly, comfortable, down-to-earth place to stay on the coast, this is a good choice. Conveniently located just north of Camden, with a little more than an hour's drive to Acadia. This property includes a charming estate house/inn overlooking a lovely view of coastal islands; there are also modest cabins and more modern motel-style lodgings. Innkeepers are very friendly; breakfast is served on the enclosed veranda overlooking an outstanding view; blueberry muffins are delicious! A comfortable indoor sitting room and outdoor seating around both a traditional and a gas-fired campfire overlook a wide lawn/meadow sloping down to the water. Yard games are available. Sunrises are beautiful!!

United StatesIt is a work in progress. They are improving as they go. I don’t see this as a detractor.
What a beautiful setting for a stay on the mid coast of Maine! We stayed here 24 years ago when it was under different management. It was quaint and rustic at that time. Now the new management has added nice upgrades like quality mattresses and bedding. You can’t beat the amazing viewingf the ocean and islands while lying in bed. We enjoyed a glass of wine sitting by the fire pit which also had a gorgeous view. It’s just minutes from the charming village of Camden. We will definitely put this on our preferred places to stay list! Oh, and we brought the pupster, so extra points for being pet friendly!

United StatesThe Inn could offer more by means of a breakfast option and bar options. If you are going to have the option of breakfast, make it a full option or continental breakfast and charge accordingly. There should be working snack and drink vending machines for guests, too. If you are going to advertise as having a bar, make it a full service bar open.noon to ten pm, for example. However, this all depends on having staff, which is scarce. The place was well worth the drive and money spent.
Mark was very friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere was quiet and serene. It was very relaxing and bucolic.

United StatesThere was some weird smell in the room , not sure because its a old motel or whether it was a chemical smell from some of the remodeling? None of the rooms had a small refrigerator. The WiFi went out around the same hour every night, so we couldn’t relax and watch some TV. I guess we would stay again at this location if we had too, but the price for a room with bad WiFi is a bit expensive
A nice view with a private beach. Great location between Camden and Rockland. The Staff were nice and accommodating
