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.).

CanadaOn the warm spring days we visited the room got stuffy. I understand why the windows in our room were enclosed with plexiglass - they are vintage and may not be easy to open and close, and guests might be forgetful.
Our room was lovely and spacious; the outdoor and indoor spaces were wonderful to sit in; the staff were very helpful and friendly; the bar was fun, served delicious and inventive drinks, and shut down completely by 10:30 but was noisy til then. The location was perfect.

United StatesThe location is near a busy intersection so traffic can be noisy at times. But that wouldn't keep me from booking again.
This was our second trip to the Argos Inn. We liked it so much we wanted to go back. It's near a busy intersection but only minutes from The Commons shopping and dining. The Cornell campus, Arboretum, and several gorges are within an easy drive, public transportation, extended walk, or hike if you like. The rooms and common areas are uniquely furnished and comfortable. The front sunroom is bright and airy with plenty of seating for couples or small groups. Snacks, fruit, great coffee and tea selections are complimentary. The full-service bar and front parlor have ample space and is often a lively focus during weekly musical events. The outdoor grounds provide space for formal and informal gatherings. The staff was most accommodating and made our stay comfortable and enjoyable! We will be back!

Hong KongSink is in the bedroom, not the bathroom, a bit quirky but not a dealbreaker.
Friendly staff, classy bar that closes early enough to help keep the rooms quiet. Near to downtown, walkable to Cornell. Coffee bar (Jura bean-to:cup) in the solarium is a nice space.

United StatesWe were in the third floor. The stairs were difficult to navigate with and without luggage. We had a suite, and wished they had a sofa to spread out on in the sitting area. We were out all day hiking so it would have been nice to have more comfortable seating in the room other than the bed. After checking in, we found that the shower did not work. Ree, the evening manager, was wonderful. She upgraded us to a suite and helped us take our bags up. She was a delight.
It was like staying in old southern home. Warm and welcoming.

United StatesJust a couple of small suggestions: small bites, like fruit or croissants to accompany the morning coffee would make a big difference. The room could also use a small luggage rack or somewhere to place clothes.
This inn is a gem, clearly run by people who care rather than a faceless corporation. Unique touches, beautiful design, great location, friendly staff. The room was quiet and just gorgeous - we loved the fresh flowers, prints and rugs, and the nods to the historic nature of the building while still offering state of the art climate control, a multitude of streaming options and a very comfortable bed. Also appreciated all of the sustainable practices. The cocktail bar on the ground floor feels sumptuous and friendly at the same time- not an easy feat!
