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 AmericaI'm not a big fan of lobster in my scrambled eggs. The staff happily prepared the eggs without them. The options were a bit too foo-foo for this country boy:)
THE STAFF WAS VERY PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY. My wife and I were very pleased with everything about our accommodations. I think it was the cleanest hotel I've ever been to. I told my wife at breakfast that everything was so clean and bright that I expected God to walk in the door and say "welcome to heaven".

United States of AmericaWe would have enjoyed a Keurig in our room. One of us had to get dressed and venture outside of our room each morning to the lobby to grab a morning cup of coffee or tea. Additionally, it would have been great to have a small in-room refrigerator to store some snacks or beverages during our stay. Our stay at The Oaks was during the early part of the week. Unfortunately, their bar is only open Wednesday through the weekend as the venue is largely a wedding venue. The owner happened to be on-site during our stay and was more than willing to provide adult beverages well outside standard hours. We loved seeing Henry, The Oaks Waterfront K9 "fur-bassador." The venue a fantastic St. Michael's boutique inn that couples should not pass up for a romantic weekend away.
The breakfast was delicious and the wait staff was attentive. We stayed for several days, so we would've enjoyed more variety in the breakfast menu. The room was cozy and beautifully decorated. The bedding was luxurious and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing on the dock. The staff, especially Lamond, is polite, professional, and dedicated to providing an exemplary experience.

United States of AmericaThere was nothing to dislike. Just a suggestion…. they are trying to meld the sometimes competing goals of catering to an event oriented clientele vs a quiet weekend for individuals. To do both is difficult in a venue this size. But as it develops (it is newly renovated) I hope they can tailor the services ( e. g. a small spa would be great on- site) for both groups with the same degree of attention. It has loads of potential….needs a new pool!
Beautifully maintained property in a tranquil setting. Very friendly and helpful staff who were attentive to all needs. We had a delightful stay for a weekend.

LuxembourgOnce the bar and dinner options are fully operational, it will be hard to find any improvements to suggest. Loved our stay.
This is a location designed for perfect weddings, and the scenic environment and quality of rooms, buildings are top quality. Only recently opened, it was effectively a B&B, but the lovely staff led by Linda stepped up and made sure that we were comfortable at ALL times, including producing a glass of wine before we we taken off to our dinner reservation by the complimentary town shuttle in to St Michael's. The breakfast was excellent and promises well for bar and dinner options being planned (in time for our next visit?). Coffee was always on tap in the lobby, usually along with some muffins or cookies. It was easy to feel spoiled.

United States of AmericaWe stayed in the cottage. There were definitely some deferred maintenance items i.e unfunctioning blinds, broken rings on the curtains. The items in the kitchen seemed disorganized. The Wi-Fi signal was poor or non-existent.
The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating particularly the woman who served breakfast in the morning. I think she was a manager.

United States of AmericaWish we could have stayed longer.
We had a wonderful weekend staying at the Oaks. The staff is amazing. The breakfasts were fantastic. Loved the "extras"! Wine & cheese in the afternoon, cookies in your room, Joe & the shuttle to St. Michaels, all the recommendations were extremely helpful! I took a beautiful moonlit picture that I posted with this review. Would stay again!

United States of AmericaAn amazing early week getaway! At first, I was concerned when my wife booked our Monday to Thursday vacation at a wedding venue. I was very pleasantly surprised to experience an amazingly wonderful vacation! I discovered and confirmed that, as a wedding venue, they are not always very busy from Sunday to Thursday. During our week, there were four other couples or families on the property. We only saw them at breakfast or at a distance on the property. The rest of the time we felt like we had the entire property to ourselves. The breakfasts were wonderful! We were given options and our selections were prepared specifically for us, at the time of our request. Being gluten intolerant, we discovered that the Oaks staff was very knowledgeable about gluten sensitivities and were able to provide entrées to meet our dietary restrictions that were very tasty and appealing! We were fully prepared to experience all kinds of mosquitoes and insects, being on the Eastern shore of Maryland in August. To our surprise, we did not see any mosquitoes, spiders, or any other types of insects throughout our entire stay. I even looked under the Adirondack chairs and recliners in the pool area and around the property and did not see any insects or spiders of any kind. We asked and were told that the property is sprayed regularly. The staff (especially Lamond) were exceptionally supportive throughout our entire stay. The entire property was clean and well-kept. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend this property!
