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...).

United States of AmericaNot a Bed and Breakfast. The kitchen was available to make your own with your own food. Originally was looking for a Bed and Breakfast. It popped up that way in the online search. We ate out. Fabulous restaurants nearby. Nobody was there, but the owner kept in touch through texts and emails. Bring your own passwords to streaming networks or cannot access them. Late check-in, should be given a couple of hours earlier. Time too short. Alot of rules to read, but understandably so for such a place! Beautiful!
Beautiful antique house and decor. The location was great for access to downtown where there are many shops and restaurants. Comfortable room and bed. Right next to Pettigrew House/Museum. But it wasn't open during the hours we were there. Peaceful. It's located in the Historic District, so it was fun to drive around and look at all the houses. Reasonable price. Thanks to the owners for this undertaking in historical restoration!

United States of AmericaThese certainly are not 'didn't likes.' They are just things to be aware of. There was no staff or person onsite, but the person who manages this house is very communicative. I happened to be the only person in the place at the time. As a single female traveler, sometimes it is just nice to know if there will be other people in the house or not. The staircase might be a challenge for someone who is not too mobile, or if you have a heavy bag.
It's clean, maintained, and just a fun place to stay. The kitchen has been updated, which was a bonus. There was coffee in the room and there were ample high quality towels (this was such a treat!). The house itself is just charming, but I am a fan of old homes. The downstairs sitting area is easy to hangout in and enjoy. The wrap around porch is just calling for you to enjoy it. I would not hesitate to stay here again!

United States of AmericaDid not like getting a notice of a $300 rental security deposit charge after we booked and paid for the room. Not our cup of tea having to share a bathroom with other people. My husband wish he had a chair in our room which was really small. The door on our room squeaked everytime we opened and closed it.
Love the look of the house inside and out. Bed was really comfy for me not so much my husband. Value for what we paid was nice

United States of AmericaNow the bad. I booked this place through booking.com. it was listed as non-refundable which I didn't have issues with. What I did have issue with is that after the non-refundable booking we were sent several emails. One was for a security deposit of $300 in case of damage to the room, another was requesting the full names, emails & phone #'s of all adults staying there and yet another one was to sign a rental agreement and list house rules. All of this should have been listed on booking com before purchase. To make matters worse we were supposed to get a door code sent via email before our stay and it did not arrive. When we got there another guest was also outside waiting to get in and he had been there for 2hrs. Luckily we only had to wait about a half hr after calling management before getting let in. The manager was very nice & did apologize for the inconvenience and said he had had issues with some texts not going through. So to sum things up this is a very nice place to stay but more details needed to be given upfront about the extra money hold and extra information needed. Since the booking is nonrefundable if the person couldn't afford an extra $300 of their money held up (even for a few days) they would have been out of luck for the original non-refundable fee.
First the good stuff. The inside of the property itself was absolutely stunning. We stayed in the gold suite on the 1st floor and the property itself exceeded expectations.

United States of AmericaThe room was quite dark and the very Victorian decor a little oppressive - while it was grand to have a washer and dryer the credit card function didn’t work very well - there were maybe a few too many steps to check in though everything was clearly explained
The location was great for seeing Sioux Falls - within walking distance of the river and downtown - the house is on a street of other historic houses which are fun to see - there is a washing machine and dryer on the premises which was a great boon - the hosts recommendations for things to do especially restaurants were excellent

United States of AmericaThe security deposit requirement was unusual but not really a deterrent as I assume it was created for good reason. The location was near downtown but for older folks like us not really just steps away due to the hilly terrain to downtown.
Loved the huge front porch with swing and on-site laundry facilities. The room was comfortable and clean. The host was very communicative via text and came over in person to address an issue with the laundry room. It was nice to park in back via an alley.
