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 outside needed maintenance, rotten wood needs to be addressed and painting would go a long way. Breakfast was nice, but not terrific.

United States of AmericaAir conditioning in room very very loud. No amenities. Cold water for guests only one of three nights. Zero coffee tea or snack offered at all. Others in Cape May at least has some in the afternoon. No games at all for rainy days. Great room but sterile Staff did ask any day even when leaving about the stay. Very very disappointing

United States of AmericaBreakfast was good but expectations my expectation for a B and B is higher. It’s passes , no complaint but they could step it up . It would be a good idea to have a coffe machine accessible to guests. One other suggestion, there was no pamphlet ot info on the mansion around which was surprising. I had to ask when leaving and they pulled out a page of info. They should do a write up with some history of Cape May and the mansion .
The place is unique and great care is taken to keep it in the atmosphere of historic Cape May NJ . If you are looking to experience a historical setting this is one of the top places. Staff was accommodating and friendly.

United States of AmericaI would have liked to have had access to some hot water & tea bags so I could have enjoyed a cup of tea after walking around the town of Cape May. We have stayed at other B&B’s that provide that amenity.
The building & grounds are well maintained considering the age of the property. We stayed here 25 yrs. ago, not long after the restoration, and found it just as beautiful now as it was then.

United States of Americapillows were not at all comfortable. bed firm but ok. there is no game room or library. no place to get coffee, water or tea like most b&b’s 24/7. just during breakfast. front desk door is closed all the time which felt unwelcoming. there is no order to being seated for breakfast. we were forgotten the first day and a huge group came in 20 minutes after us. they got there food in minutes and we where right by the fountain. so I took a star off for these reasons. it is almost 5 stars.
it is stunning. beautiful property. breakfast was good and the rooms cleaned perfectly. very close to everything.
