Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

CanadaBreakfast was underwhelming. Adequate but I have seen better. I was not a fan of the pillows and there was no alternative choice.
This independent is as good as a comparable chain. Fixtures are generally up to date. Staff was good. Lakeview room was nice, large. In all comparable to a quality/ comfort inn.

United States of AmericaNothing that the hotel can do anything about. People talk loudly in the halls with fairly loud doors opening and closing at all hours. Yet, so outweighed by all that is so good about this property.
Reasonably priced place that accepts dogs all while providing an exceptional view!!! We enjoy the stay at the Black Swan with staff eager to meet the needs of all customers. The room is a good size, the deck was clean and semi-private, and the view was priceless!

It would be better if there are more cooked food options for breakfast rather than microwaving refrigerated sandwich. Also sq ft of the room was not clear.

United States of AmericaThe coffee with the free breakfast was not hot. The first morning they ran out of pancake batter.
We showed up earlier than expected but our room was ready and they let us check in before 2pm. We also got a room upgrade. We had the Sunday buffet after we checked in and it was very good.

United States of AmericaI put a lot of faith and hope in breakfast and it was a bit lacking . The “nook” area was isolated in the back of the lodging area and there were limited opportunities for hot food. I was excited about the pancakes maker but there was no hot protein to go with the pancake.
Room was “homey” and comfortable Everything was clean

United States of AmericaI had been told,I thought, in response to my question ,that I could have a room on the pond side if it was available (no one had booked them all) for no extra charge. In fact I could not-- was told I had to pay extra regardless of whether they were available.

United States of AmericaThe second floor hallway always smelled a little stale and a bit like we were entering a house full of cats. This did not impact our room in any way. Perhaps updated carpeting would help. Or just air freshener. We had two drawers in our chest of drawers that would not stay closed. It was no big deal, but it made us laugh.
We liked our room and view. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We enjoyed a meal at the restaurant. Our room was clean and spacious, and the bed was comfortable. The location allowed us to easily access Stockbridge, Lee, Lenox, and Pittsfield.

United States of AmericaWe only stayed for a night - just had to get away to recharge and this was the perfect place for it. Quaint little town, inn on the lake. We stayed in a king superior lakeview room and appreciated the whirlpool tub, fireplace and late checkout. The room was spacious, clean and quiet. We stayed for the Sunday lunch buffet which was spectacular. We did not encounter a lot of staff during our quick stay, but the ones we did were helpful and pleasant.
