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...).

United States of America1. There was a string of very bright Christmas lights along the gutters outside. The blinds do a very poor job of keeping that light out, so the whole room was lit up fairly bright all...night...long. Also, the outside porch light can't be turned off either, that I could find. 2. As others have mentioned, there are large gaps between the blinds and the wall, so it's possible to see in from outside. Either some simple sheers on the sides, or blinds mounted inside the window casement would fix this. 3. The bed was hard. I sort of like a soft bed, this was a pretty hard bed. I can't say I slept very well on it. Thankfully, it was only one night. 4. After they add in the "cleaning" fee and the "facilities use" fee (what???), this costs as much as the nicer hotels. These were minor, picky things. Overall this is a really nice place, and it's located very close to the shops/restaurants. I say it's a fair trade, especially if all the hotels are booked.
Location is excellent. Room was very clean and tidy. All the furnishings and stuff look fairly new. Parking right outside the door - that's excellent. Other than the idiots on super loud motorcycles going through town, there's not a lot of noise that gets into the room. The property owners did an excellent job of communicating which suite we were in, how to get into the suite, where to park, etc. That's good, since there's not a warm body onsite to tell us these things. Overall, this is really a nice place, other than the few exceptions below.

United States of AmericaWe didn't like that the vertical gap in the bathroom and front window shades people outside our room could see inside our room. The freezer in our refrigerator had caked on ice and needed to be defrosted. There was a lack of bath towels and washcloths for two people staying for three nights (3 bath towels and 3 washcloths). We needed at least a small dining table (compact) and a chair for eating our meals. There needs to be a secondary smaller step outside of the entry doorway. Cable television is preferred instead of just Roku (it was not user friendly). There needs to be an easier lock or code to enter the residence (we arrived, later than expected, in the cold rain and darkness and tried for over 30 minutes to enter the room by instructions for coded door lock and it didn't work). There needs to be larger trash cans provided in each room.
We liked the location, the cleanliness, the biblical verses on the wall art, the dishes, flatware provided, the microwave, refrigerator, and sink. We, also, liked the shower head in the bathroom, the floor space of the bedroom and bathroom, and ability to park our car so close to our room. The bedding and queen bed was comfortable. The ceiling fan kept the air circulating. We appreciated the texts checking on our satisfaction with the room.

United States of AmericaIn terms of negatives, there really weren't any. The only suggestion I would make is to provide one extra set of towels. While one set per person seems reasonable, it doesn't allow for hair towels, or any wiggle room before having to ask for more. Again, not a negative, just something to consider. Also, the proximity to the road may be an issue for anyone who is a lite sleeper. Fortunately, Helen is pretty quiet during late-night and early-morning hours, so it's not a big deal. But it is one of those things that might be worth knowing for some.
All in all, Upcountry Inn is a perfect option for a fun, easy getaway. The location is ideal if you want to be near the action without being in the middle of it. Downtown Helen is a relaxing stroll away, making the room the perfect getaway when you want to escape the hustle and bustle. Plus, with Betty's being a literal stone's throw away, anything you might need is always in reach. In terms of positives, the room was the perfect size, being neither too small nor too spacious. It was cozy, but with enough room to not feel trapped or boxed in. The level of cleanliness was exceptional, almost to the point of operating-room standards. The bed was very comfortable, albeit very high off the floor, which was neither good nor bad, just interesting.

United States of AmericaWe stayed in the Unicoi Suite and although the room was very clean and very pretty, we found the lack of two inside chairs or a little worktable an inconvenience especially for remote work. Even a small TV tray folding table would have helped. Also it would be nice if there was a little side table for the microwave and coffee maker instead of having the coffee maker sit on top of the microwave and the microwave sit on top of the little refrigerator. Opening the door of the refrigerator made things sitting on top of microwave to fall off. The last thing was not having extra pillows, we forgot to bring ours. There were only 2 pillows on the bed and most places we stay there are always 4-6 pillows.
Overall, the Unicoi Suite is beautifully decorated and absolutely spotless which is extremely important to us. The bed was super comfy and the bathroom was spacious and clean. The location was excellent and very easy to find, no driving into neighborhoods or mountain roads trying to find an address! It was a very short walk to have breakfast at Hofer's Bakery, dinner at Hofbrauhaus Restaurant, drinks and snacks next door at Betty's General Store. It was lively area during the day and very quiet for sleeping at night. Short walk to the main part of downtown Helen for shops and other restaurants and taverns. Would absolutely stay here again or recommend to friends!
