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.).

This was the most wonderful stay. We have been coming to Charleston for years and this was our first time in the Battery and it did not disappoint. This is just the most wonderful historic home and nothing could have made out stay any better. I can't reccomend anough.

United StatesThe sink drain in Carriage House 8 drains extremely slowly. A little more variety for breakfast also would have been great.
The mansion is absolutely beautiful, and our room was great. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and polite

United StatesWhen I booked our room I was under the impression that this was a Bed n Breakfast but looking at the current listing, it's called a boutique hotel and I don't see anything about it serving breakfast. My one comment was going to be about the breakfast. It was tasty but sourced from a bakery and not what I was expecting from a "Bed n Breakfast " type setting. Seems like the boutique hotel is a better description.
The house was beautiful and the staff so pleasant and accommodating. Wine and cheese on the piazza was a great way to enjoy the afternoon.

The property was a beautifully restored 1843 home. The front porch was set with comfortable rocking chairs and while we were there one of the hosts offered to bring us a cold beverage.

United StatesDoors were kind of tricky .
We loved the location it was a 15 minute walk to the center of town , lounge area in the lobby was absolutely beautiful with antique furniture. The dining room was delightful every morning for breakfast listening to Frank Sinatra and all my old time favorites. On the first floor there was a keurig coffee machine ,complimentary soda ,water and tea with a microwave. Every thing exceeded are expectations ,it had all the conforts of home .Also the complimentary toiletries were nice .We will definitely be back here in the near future .

United StatesThe bed in our carriage house room was uncomfortable and the carpet was an odd hard straw-like woven rug that was very painful on bare feet.
Beautiful, restored mansion. Staff was very accommodating, and location was beautiful on the South Battery. The wine and cheese hour was a nice touch and we enjoyed on the rocking chairs on the front veranda.
