Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Nothing, it was fine just as it is.
The location was perfect, an easy drive to the larger towns and tucked away in between the mountains. Our room and private bathroom was clean, quiet and comfortable.

(Minor issue) It would be a good idea to lubricate the hinges on the doors. The squeaks from the doors was the loudest noise we heard.
Inn is well maintained and full of charm. The owners were terrific hosts.

Room was a little cramped - even for just 2 of us. (Originally my 18 year old daughter was supposed to be with us, but it was good that she wasn't staying in the room with us.)Shower was great pressure and nice and warm but the shower head was aimed too high for a short person like me. Couldn't be adjusted lower.
Breakfast and coffee were very good.

Brady and Else are the perfect hosts. The Inn was spotless the grab and go breakfast was a perfect morning snack and fresh fruit and yogurt were nice a nice touch! The inn is very quaint and the town of Waitsfield is very interesting in a good way. Loved our stay. This is our 2nd time staying here and will definitely be back.

The rooms were a little small but we didn't mind. The inn is in an old New England farmhouse so that was expected!
The Inn was so charming! It had a classic New England interior and the staff was so nice! They had a cute little breakfast bar set up and hot tea whenever we wanted.

Fully booked. Rooms are small and very noisy. Finicky thermostat in the room. Room looked clean but a pair of underwear left in the bathroom???? Bathroom fixtures were child height including mirrors. "Grab and Go" breakfast extremely limited and not replenished, last folks down in the morning get whatever is left. Staff was never seen after check in. To their defense, the Inn keeper was in the hospital having a baby, with a "fill in" keeper.
Charming old Inn (1912) with lots of character and comfortable beds. Staff was friendly and informative. Great location between Waterbury and Waitsfield. Bathroom did have a blow-dryer.
