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...).

The historic house remained furnished and decorated as if it was for in 1900. The grounds were extensive and beautiful.

GermanyWe had a great stay at Strickland's. The house is a beautiful historic landmark in a very nice Austin neighborhood (Hyde Park), and the Stricklands did everything to make us feel at home, even having a mobile petting zoo on the day of our arrival (OK, I admit, it was for their granddaughter's birthday, but still great). Sandy's homemade biscuits for breakfast are a real treat. We'll be back the next time we travel to Austin!

United States of AmericaBreakfast just ok. They cooked eggs, bacon & biscuits. Would have liked more variety. Did not make up the room at all during our 5night stay! Landscaping needed work & entire place looked a bit run down.
Owners were very friendly. Room was spacious although tiny bathroom & sink in main bedroom area. Unique property.

We loved the Strickland Arms. It’s a beautiful house. The porch, pool and hot tub are a nice addition. The room was lovely and so comfortable. Our activities downtown were easily accessible. We would return in a heartbeat!

United KingdomWhen visiting the USA we like to stay in Historic Houses. We also had a great time at breakfast talking to other people staying at the property. Barb and the team were great fun. Hyde Park is an interesting area away from downtown Austin. Uber in to Austin is cheaper than parking and easier. Also visit Avenue b Grocery and market for excellent sandwiches. Easy walk to restaurants.

United States of AmericaBreakfast could use some improvement, though the self-serve aspect is extremely convenient. I took my coffee and yogurt and sat on the back porch and listened to the birds.
Why stay in a generic hotel when you can stay in this lovely old house? Comfortable, charming, with elegance and grace, it's like going home to a REAL home at the end of the day.
