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 AmericaOn-site parking was a little slight, but there is an ample parking lot across the side street. I would prefer a coffee pot in the room, but it was nice to meet the owners and staff for a morning conversation each day, in the coffee shop. Being an older establishment, the stairs are not very deep, so they can be a challenge going down for an older person.
The owners and staff were very friendly and personable. It had a restaurant and coffee shop on premises, as well as sells domestic and craft beers and wine. The free bottle of wine was a nice touch and they allowed my wife to swap it for something that she really likes. Although the coffee shop is open to the public, the coffee is free for guests. It is conveniently located about 1 mile from downtown, so it was easy getting to everything. There is a park across the street that goes to the water for sunsets. Besides their restaurant which is almost like dining in a library (the food was excellent), there is another place 2 blocks away.

United States of AmericaA/C was not controllable from room, but temperature always comfortable, it’s close to road so you can hear cars a bit but it’s expected.
We were in town for our nieces wedding, larger hotel chains prices were ridiculous. My sister in law found The Reserve Retreat (unfortunately she had to cancel), so my wife and I booked room along with daughter and son in law. The location is great! Rooms were comfortable, large and clean. Staff very friendly, and great. food is so good! Owner is friendly and nice. It’s locally owned and operated so that’s a plus for us.

United States of AmericaThis is an unexpected treasure in a sea of touristy hotels and chain restaurants. The only comment would be the stairs! Our room was on the top floor and the stairs are steep. I had my small dog with me and going up and down multiple times was a challenge for my 70-yr. old knees. Otherwise, everything was cozy and delightful.
