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 AmericaI wish I had known in advance the restaurant and bar would only be open on the weekend also I guess because of Covid daily room cleaning has stopped. Reserved parking would have been great... The huge wedding party took all the spots in the back and in the evening I did not like walking alone back to my room in the dark from the only spot way up front.
Nice property. Very glad the wonderful wedding celebration could not be heard in my room.

United States of AmericaEverything was clean & parking was so easily accessible. The property was also very nice. It’s located in a quiet neighborhood but still “secluded” enough to feel like you’re away on vacay. It was a great place to stay without having to go too far & spending too much for a weekend trip. Perfect for a chill and relaxing weekend.

United States of AmericaOur room 250 was near the next door neighbor residential area with a dog barking non stop. A large India Wedding was very active on the mansion grounds. Which means plenty of loud music and limited parking nearby.
The Hayes Mansion Property (itself) was excellent. The residential area surrounding the property appears to have grown up after its construction.

United States of AmericaIt’s easy to get lost!! And a bit scary. The hotel is split in half so there’s the original mansion side where the hotel lobby in is located and there’s a newer side but they didn’t tell us that. So as I went to pick up my DoorDash order I took the 1st elevator I seen (on the lobby side) and I ended up on the same floor as mine but in a completely different building. And to make matters worse, some of the hallways lead to dead ends and let you go in a full circle until you realize you’re back at the same dead in (creepy if you’ve ever toured Winchester myself house.. gives you that vibe being lost) so all I’d say if that they should make it clear that there’s 2 different buildings so the floors don’t match up..
The grounds are absolutely beautiful! The greenery and the gardens are amazing. The hotel inside is beautiful and vintage making you feel like royalty! There’s soo much to see if you walk around the hotel. The rooms are a good size and the beds were pretty comfortable.

United States of AmericaThe breakfast used to be excellent. Not so much now. A high school poem was going on. So I couldn’t find a parking space had to park on the street and I paid for parking. Music was loud until 11 o’clock at night. Had early morninganHad early morning flight, could not Sleep. Until after midnight. But even with that I will definitely stay here again.
Loved this hotel but been a few years since the last time I was here. The campus is beautiful. The location is perfect. Beautiful building beautiful rooms.

VietnamNo valet/service/helper whatsoever! We arrived at 7pm from SFO and leave at 7h30 am. It was raining a lot and no one helped us with our luggages. Anyway, our room is in another building so we have to carry everything outside to another building and up to the 2nd floor. But the elevator was out of service. Really? Same routine the following morning. We had breakfast (the only option is buffet) for ($24 pre tip/tax). Pretty expensive for some bread/egg/bacon... but the lady working/cooking/serving there, at least, was lovely. After complaining before we leave, I was generously offered a snack/water which is a disgraceful.
The room/bed is nice/comfy. The furnitures/decorations near the front desk look good/warmth.

Car theft in the lot, the car next to ours got broken into, tons of glasses were by our car which made it very difficult to drive our. Check in lobby did not have any ramps, we had to haul out lugguge up and down to check in. No assistance provided, very bare bone service

United States of AmericaThey charge for parking. And there's a lot of perfume in the lobby. Cheaper hotels tend to do that--mask other smells like pets or whatever with air fresheners. Also, the payment policy was weird, it charged my card several times but then dropped off after a week. The beds were a little old and less comfortable.
It's a good location and more reasonably priced than other properties. It's a pretty building.

United States of AmericaPictures are deceiving. This property is in a neighborhood with limited parking. To get to your room is a mission on it's on as I promise you, you will get lost the first time. This place is overpriced and not worth the stay with better options available at the same price point.
Bed was probably the only thing great about the stay.

IrelandVery old fashioned, I believe this property needs some updating. Looks a lot nicer in pics! Staff at reception were unhelpful and had a bad attitude. The layout was quite confusing and it took about 15 minutes to find my room carrying heavy suitcases. No one offered to help me with this. The bed didn't feel clean and I felt very itchy. No showercap supplied. There was no room service. Breakfast ends at 10am. I think 11am would be more ideal. Was told to drop off laundry by 10am. When I arrived before 10am they said it was too late and collected at 9am. They don't let you use the pool on the same day of check out, once you check out. Many other hotels allow this. I was standing in line at the reception desk and when it was my turn I asked for them to call a cab for us. The young woman at the desk seemed to have a problem with this, she said she had to prioritise other customers and made me wait 20 minutes. Very rude.
The room size was great, decor in the room was nice.
