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 AmericaThis location is special. The hostesses are so accommodating, they even warmed my coffee cup for me each morning! Their rooms are well appointed and clean. Breakfast included and very well prepared. But be careful between the delish baked good and the hearty breakfast you may come home with a wider waist line.

United States of AmericaExcellent bed & breakfast on a quiet side street just a few minutes walk from the heart of bar harbor. Breakfast was great each day, and the tea time with snacks was an added bonus every afternoon. The host was great and took care of any requests we had. We will be back!

United States of AmericaThe coffee selection would be better if you could order a cappucino or a fresh cup vs. the pre-made thermoses. The pillows would be better if they were down.
Julianna was amazing! So friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable. She gave me her hiking boots to use because mine were too small! I loved all the attention to detail, the tulips on the table, the gluten free options and breakfast. Katherine was great, very friendly, and Jason made excellent breakfasts. Julianna felt like a friend by the time we left and we will 100% return! We travel a ton and stay in many B&B's and this by far was the best! Julianna goes above and beyond and we felt it!

United States of AmericaThere could be some more parking I guess? But there's really nothing that we didn't like about this bed and breakfast!
Breakfast was one of our favorite parts of the trip! It was very good, Julianna was very nice, gave us info on things to do, hikes to see, etc. The room was very nice, the bathroom was great, with a spa tub! The bed was comfortable and the heat worked well (necessary in November in Maine)

United States of AmericaThe innkeepers were so kind, accommodating and helpful. Breakfasts were delicious and afternoon tea/baked goods were a welcomed treat after a busy day of hiking. The property was very clean and very quiet. It felt like a quintessential New England home with the fireplace’s relaxing coziness! Location was a close walk to hiking Bar Island and great downtown restaurants and shopping.

U.S. Virgin IslandsBeing on the 3rd floor (walk up) and no closet in the room or small refrigerator. Bathroom was very small. Dormered ceilings made it hard to get in/out of bed.
The breakfast was very good. They served lemonade and cookies in the afternoon, which was a nice touch. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Outdoor seating area was nice.

United States of AmericaWould recommend changing up the seating in the dining area to account for more parties of two so that more people can have breakfast at the same time. We (and a few other parties of two) had to wait quite a while because two groups of two and one party of one were each taking up the only three tables, which are all set up for four. Also, would strongly recommend blackout curtains. I did not sleep well with the sun streaming in at 4:30am.
Wonderful staff, excellent location around the block from many restaurants shops, and a charming inn. Great breakfast.
