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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

CanadaVery cozy and feels like being at home! Brenda and George were amazing hosts. They welcomed my family and I with their warm hospitality. Love the layout of their property especially the dining room and the swing set on the back porch. Highly recommend their place when visiting Nova Scotia!

CanadaThe exterior of the house is generally attractive but needs a fresh coat of paint.
The breakfast was tasty and plentiful: fresh avocado, ham, blackberries, blueberries, strawberries and lovely banana bread. Brenda, our friendly hostess, was able to introduce we 6 guests to one another by our first names at the dining table, engendering a very friendly, animated conversation. The gardens were fresh and well kept.

CanadaSuper welcoming B&B with charm, hosts Brenda and George were amazing! They made us feel like family and were very attentive to details, making sure breakfast was exactly as we wanted it. Room was spacious and comfortable, and the inn is just steps away from the waterfront and main attractions. Great details within the house too - make sure you look up to admire the ceilings! Will definitely stay here again!

Willow House is a delightful place to stay in Pictou. It is an exceptionally well run B&B operation, in a central location, near to restaurants and shops. Our bedroom was very comfortable and the bathroom well appointed, with an unusual shower arrangement. The breakfast was excellent. Brenda and George are exceptional hosts, very friendly, attentive, helpful and informative.

CanadaThe owners are some of the nicest people you'll meet. The room was well appointed and offered us an enjoyable stay. Spacious room, big bed, comfy sheets, all in a nice historic home. Breakfast was delicious and the homemade jams were yummy. It's easy to walk to the few restaurants in town and the waterfront path.

CanadaBeautiful historic inn. George and Brenda give a very warm welcome and an amazing breakfast. They advised us on where to go for dinner in town, which turned out to be a low-key spot with the best homemade seafood chowder ever! Our nice spacious room provided us with a comfy bed and wonderful sleep. After the delicious breakfast we certainly didn't need to stop anywhere for lunch.

CanadaWe had a wonderful stay at the Willow House! The house was very clean, and the bed in our room was super comfy. The hosts put a lot of thought into decorating the house -- every corner of the house was just beautiful. Brenda and George were very friendly and welcoming. They made us coffee and delicious breakfast. We also had a little chat before we left. We're very thankful that I met them during our trip, and I wish them all the best! Unfortunately, we were only able to stay at Pictou for one night. We will definitely come back to visit this lovely place in the future.

United StatesWe liked everything about the property and our hosts. (The only disappointment, and this was 100% our own fault, was that we came too early in the season and many of the places we would have liked to visit were closed. This is NOT the fault of the Willow House.)
While generally we tend not to prefer B & Bs, the Willow House was a delightful exception. Our room, the breakfast, and the location were all excellent, but it was the proprietors, Brenda and George, who made all the difference. They were welcoming, friendly, and informative without being at all intrusive. Overall, excellent hosts and a an excellent stay!
