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.).

An Eureka GEM! Wish we had planned our trip to stay 2 days in Eureka to be able to enjoy this hotel more. Everything was clean and comfortable, with free on-premise parking so one does not have to worry about your car (Still, be smart and remove everything). While we were concerned about getting the last available room that happened to share a wall with the cocktail bar, we were assured that the bar would close at 930pm and it certainly did. An historic building, the bed and furnishings are well-appointed (plus 2 luggage racks), while the private bathroom had excellent products (heavenly bath salts were a treat), a luxurious shower along with a comfy robe - all very much appreciated after a day spent hiking and on the road. Room temp was perfect for sleeping and quiet overnight. The unexpected and extraordinary treat was Restaurant 301. The Carter House Inn currently offers a complimentary glass of wine at happy hour, so we hit the bar before heading to dinner (Make sure to make a reservation). Restaurant 301 served a delicious multi-course meal with phenomenal wine and a memorable experience. There is an art to serving a meal and Restaurant 301 has it down. The following morning, Carter House Inn currently offers a complimentary breakfast that is anything but the standard hotel-chain fare. The quiche and yogurt were exceptional and the accompanying pastries were excellent. Their coffee, both after dinner and at breakfast, was "worth writing home about." Last but not least, there is something about staying at a hotel or inn that understands hospitality. This stay was near the end of our 2-week trip and to be welcomed by people exhibiting genuine kindness and taking care of us was very much appreciated.

United StatesRoom was small and bed less comfortable than expected. No heat the first night and when we asked about it the next day we were given an electric space heater and told that they knew about thermostat malfunction and that the window had been open all day ( in winter)...they forgot when we checked in...no adjustment offered. Breakfast didn't start until 0730 so I missed both mornings but I know from previous experience that the breakfast is great.
Legendary place to stay. Very welcoming to our two little dogs. We were refugees from the storm so felt fortunate to have the room.

United StatesMy only suggestion is to eliminate the $30 pet fee. Most places no longer have such charges. With that said, I know there are some irresponsible pet owners out there and room damage could be a real occurrence.
What a gem! During our travels we decided to stay one night in Eureka, CA. After a quick search for places that except pets (as we were with our German Shepherd) we came across the Carter House Inns. Even though the cost was a little bit more I could tell by the photos and the location it was going to be worth it. We were not disappointed! The room was on the 1st floor and was adorable. It is in all the details that make this stay worth every penny. The complimentary breakfast was delicious. They served an omelet with cheese and red peppers. Homemade muffins, avocado toast and fresh fruit was also offered. I have to say the little extra cost was certainly covered by this amazing breakfast. As far as location goes it was less then a 5 minute walk to the water where there is a park and a walking/biking trail. A perfect place to take our dog! In closing the staff was very friendly and made you feel beyond welcome! Thank you for surviving the government shutdowns.

United StatesThe only thing better would have been if we could have stayed two nights!
The location is in Old Town so easy walking to Farmers Market on Friday nights and local bistros. Located on a side street, it was quiet (important to me). Parking was adjacent to the hotel. Staff were friendly and welcoming - Sarah checked us in and was a delight. The small bar offered an excellent Happy Hour with free wine pours to new guests from 4-8. The food offered was delicious - Adrian was the chef at night for the bar/lobby and at Dan was the chef for breakfast. Both did an outstanding job!

The room was fantastic. The little bar was great though I didn’t like that one of the guests brought in two huskies into the bar who sniffed everyone who came in. Really?
