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 AmericaThe windows were likely older settings and so you could hear noise from the street--just bring ear plugs, as I did.
Breakfast was amaaaazing and they were so kind to get oat milk and even make my French toast with oat milk. Fresh cinnamon rolls and fruit-perfect bacon. No b&b has gone to such lengths for me…nor would I expect them to. The place was impeccably clean. Such attention to details. I took photos of the wallpaper, the spindles on the staircase, the door handle, the bathroom’s tin ceiling, the chandelier, the tile in the dining room. It makes such a difference to eat on linen, from China tea cups, as we were so kindly served. This place is a gem, as is the woman who hosted us.

United States of AmericaWe absolutely loved our stay! Beautifully maintained and restored, while keeping its old school charm makes Penley House our go-to place to stay when in the area. The owner Theresa who is very friendly and accommodating, makes the best homemade breakfast from scratch. Also, the bed is so comfortable and with the crisp white linen, you’ll get the best sleep ever!

United States of AmericaThe parking area is a little cramped but I was driving an unfamiliar vehicle (a rental) so that may have been part of my issue.
Penley House is a beautiful Victorian home which is wonderfully kept and comfortable. Our room was right next to the full bathroom. Both rooms were big and comfortable. Teresa was very accommodating and kind. It was close to restaurants and it was easy to get across to Lewiston. The breakfast was good and the dining room was homey and put you at ease to enjoy a meal. I was told there was a pedestrian bridge nearby over the river. If I had more time, I would have definitely checked it out.

She made us feel so welcome and "at home!" The room was clean, impeccably appointed, and has to be the most comfortable bed i've enjoyed away from home. If i ever need to be back in the area I most certainly will be staying here!
