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 StatesThey don’t clean the rooms daily unless you ask….so you have to go looking for towels if staying for more then a day. some weird stain on the white sheet when we arrived…it was taken care of right away though. bathrooms are very tight for family of 4. Bar/restaurant very small selection of food.
Can’t beat the view or the pool. Every room has a excellent view and the kids played in the pool nonstop! staff is friendly.

CanadaI found it interesting that at this price there were no glass and no cups for coffee. a small detail that makes a difference. was able to get to glasses for wine at reception. coffee was in cardboard glasses. Their are several Canada geese on the property and beach with discuting excréments that we’re not cleaned up. there in no maid service as such algues on the beach were not raked
Thé room on the water, cleanliness inside, nice dining room with a view breakfast was generous and gods kayaks and other water sport equipment available and included though we did not use any because of the weather. fire pit

United StatesOur particular room did not have heat, so a bit chilly. Property can be a challenge if you have mobility issues.
Spotlessly clean. Comfortable beds. Thick lush towels. Stunning views. Wonderful staff. Superb breakfast. We loved it. The couple of hiccups were noones fault. We had so many hotel stays over the years that were simply lousy properties presented on a carefully crafted website. This Inn is the real deal. Furnishings modern and well themed without being tacky. Just lovely.

United StatesIt is very isolated, almost at the end of a road leading to water. No places to eat, nothing lively. Good thing there is a bar and restaurant there. It’s right on some water. It badly needs plugs by the beds for charging and phones. There was nothing in my room.
Nice staff, very clean. Nice restaurant and bar on the premises. There is a swimming pool and kayaks available. Nice view of the water.

United StatesBathroom was tiny. Handrails to get in & out of tub weren’t secure. Expected breakfast to be better because the restaurant was pushed but I’ve stayed at Hamptons & Comfort Inns with better breakfasts. Staff we met were pleasant but check in started at 2pm and they weren’t there till about 2:45pm. (And I had called in the morning to confirm the time.) Got drenched walking to the door in the heavy rain then could not get in because it was locked. There was a note but still.
Location was great. Most rooms, it not all, had a view of the water. Room was fairly clean.

United KingdomFoolishly I didn’t have my swimming trunks, so I couldn’t use the complementary canoeing equipment!!! There’s no complementary swimsuit. Lol.!
OMG, what a fantastic experience and the most wonderful staff. Might be a family, who are working extremely hard to make everything just perfect but they are incredible. The location is sublime and facilities mind-blowing but the breakfast takes the prize. The bloke who wears the cookie 🧢 also appears in the garden with the mower but he knocks out a delicious breakfast. Thanks again for letting me stay.

United StatesThe staff. They said I couldn’t sit on a towel if I wasn’t swimming. Well I’m paying 350 bucks a night, I can sit on a towel. If you don’t want me to use a towel, clean your chairs. During low tide, extremely stinky, couldn’t even open the door. Not the hotels fault, but disappointing. Decoration was nice but hotel was definitely dated. Breakfast didn’t open until late.
The room was decorated very nice.

United StatesNothing.
We had a beautiful, well appointed room, with a nautical flair, and a wonderful view. The pool was very nice and we liked the accessibility of the kayaks. The definite highlight was the breakfast! A complete breakfast with fresh eggs, bacon and sausage, fresh pastries and fruit. All made in house. It was a pleasant surprise after more than one hotel has boasted a full breakfast only to serve eggs from a carton and pastries that came in plastic.

United StatesWe enjoyed the breakfast buffet and dinner was wonderful at the restaurant on site. The room was nice and spacious with comfortable beds and the deck was nice to view sunrise and sunsets. Very close to town yet far enough away from the touristy area. Stopped here for two nights on our way to Bar Harbor to visit our daughter at the Jackson Lab and would definitely stay here again when in this neck of the woods!

United StatesOverall cleanliness, but the hotel staff was accommodating when requesting to change our room. We noticed a spider crawling out from the bedding, so we further investigated, and found either a dead beetle or a dead bedbug in the door jam leading to the deck. Had to retrieve toilet paper from the office because no spare rolls were left in the bathroom cabinet. Strong smell of sewage in the harbor area but we are experiencing a hot summer. Parking is tight.
Nice view of sunset. Outside deck area had a privacy divider which was nice. Breakfast was a nice touch.

Smugglers Cove is an awesome property for family stays with great food and lots of activities on site for everyone. Super cute, affordable, and overall a win win for our whole group.
