Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.

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 StatesThe house is a little worn out and needs some renovation. It was clean and tidy, which was most important to my friend and I. There are antiques that were interesting.
The bed and shower were comfortable after 7 hours of driving. After getting settled in the room, my friend and I walked to supper. We decided on Jimmy John's, but there are many restaurants to choose from on Main St. depending on how much you want to spend. We had a good night's sleep, and at 8 am, Robert had a great breakfast sandwich for us. There was a buffet with fruit salad, pastries, and yogurt. My favorite part of the stay was Robert telling us the history of the house while we had breakfast. I would stay there again.

United StatesI’m a little d to have to climb to the third floor However the staff carried our luggage up and that was a big help. Also parking was in a public lot across the street which was a concern to me as the area I live in that would have been unsafe. Overall I would highly recommend this establishment The beds were comfortable, the rooms clean and the staff went out of their way to be both helpful and gracious.
The breakfast was outstanding. Similar to a good restaurant.

United StatesUnfortunately the power went off during a storm in the early evening of our stay and was not restored until after we went to bed. This is surely not the fault of the property or the innkeeper, but it made our stay less than perfect.
It was a lovely old inn built in 1894. The interior has some beautiful spaces-living room, dining room and our guest room. Convenient location. Robert was so helpful and accommodating-above and beyond! The breakfast was delicious.

United StatesParking. Metered parking, enforced 8:00am to 5:00pm Mon-Sat. Does take coins, $0.25/15 minutes. Only a few spots in front of inn. Otherwise have to hoof it from parking lot across street. Chinese innkeeper, Robert, said you don't need to worry about parking tickets if checking out in the 9:00am hour. Innkeeper. Robert, although nice, seemed a little forgetful to me at times. Forgetting my room number, and forgetting I was staying 2 nights. When I was packing my motorcycle for my day trip [I was going to check out the next morning] he came out and asked for the room key before he realized I was coming back and staying another night.
Stairs. If you like stairs, stairs to the front entrance, stairs to the upper floors. Room. My 1 guest room had a queen bed w/ footboard, comfy chair, mini microwave, mini fridge w/ small ice box, Roku TV, large dresser w / mirror, rack w/ 8 hangars, small window A/C, tower fan, and small bath w/ shower. Everything worked, there was a couple of water bottles and some snack size candy bars, there was the typical shampoo, soap, etc. For me the room was comfortable. Vibe. Old time 'life styles of the rich and famous' mansion vibe. But it has seen better days. Keys. The room keys have a large pewter medallion featuring the inn. Make sure you return it or you will get contacted by Robert asking you to please return it. I put mine on the front desk as instructed in the PDF file as no one was around when I left. Robert called me, He said the maid had told him the wrong room number, but he should have remembered which room I was staying in [more on that]. Breakfast. I thought the breakfast was OK. There was a good assortment of fruits, pastries ['Sticky buns' were delicious]. There were yogurts, granola, nuts, and some cereals. Coffee is served by Robert, there is no hot cocoa [my favorite]. There is only one hot dish, prepared ahead of time. For my 2 days it was eggs over ham or sausage over muffin or toast. No pancakes or other hot dishes. Not the greatest breakfast but OK. Accommodations. All in all it was OK. Certainly not 5/5 or 1/5. It is rated 3 stars so 3/5 seems about right.
