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.).

United StatesSidewalks in the area are not level. Since you have to park on the street one street over, you should be careful when going to/from your car. It was raining one day and the amount of water running along the sidewalks causes you to hop through puddles.
Beautiful house with a convenient location in Mount Vernon. Welcoming and accommodating host that made the whole process easy. Room was clean and spacious with a lot of lighting. Bathroom had a motion sensing light switch and a nice shower.

This beatiful home far exceeded our expectations. We absolutely plan to stay again in the near future. The host was charming and extremely helpful. We immediately felt at home, safe and relaxed. We were in town for a family funeral so we did not have time to fully enjoy the homes amenities and the surrounding area. We will be back! Thank you so much! PS the coffee was superb!

United StatesThe house looks very lived-in because it is, as part of the family lives there, so there are some personal items on the porch that probably should be reorganized for more curb appeal, but this is a minor issue.
Our host provided us outstanding hospitality showing us dishes made by him and his family, from their garden. The kitchen is very large and has excellent appliances, a great variety of cookware and serving ware. There is seating room for 18 people - you could have a dinner party here! We really were able to make ourselves at home in the kitchen and in the bedroom. The bath in our 1 queen room was large, had a very nice shower with Jacuzzi, and the tile was very pretty. The house was built in 1918 and has been fully renovated with modern amenities but it keeps the charm and style of the original building.

United StatesWoke up the first night at 4:00 AM because someone was walking around loudly near our room. An old used washcloth was left on the bar of the shower.
Location was about 20 min from the sporting event we were attending, so it was very convenient. Peter went above and beyond with his hospitality.

United StatesPeter was very accommodating and hospitable. He was very generous in sharing his space and food with his guests. His goal was to make his guests feel at home, and I felt very welcomed. He had 2 sets of washer and dryer for us to use if we needed them. I loved that he shaved prosciutto for us and gave us bread and eggs to eat with it. I was able to meet some of the other guests and got along with them well. I did not get a car rental for this trip and was able to walk from the Mount Vernon (East) train station to this booking in 19 minutes. I felt like I got the Italian/NY experience staying here. I would high recommend this booking for those looking for something wholesome.

United StatesPeter, great host he welcomed us into his home and pretty much showed us his house and where everything was he was very accommodating, very polite. They even cooked home meals in their beautiful kitchen the night of our stay unfortunately, we had already ate. The only downfall is you have to walk around the block to park your car besides that everything was great.
