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 StatesThe parking, restaurant patrons get preferred parking over the residents staying in the suites. Need to have parking for residents while staying there. My wife and I had to walk in a pouring rain storm to get to our room while people at the restaurant were given preferential treatment. Other than what is listed above place was great.
The room and the staff are top notch. Owner very friendly. Breakfast was outstanding.

United StatesOur room was called The Veranda suite and was advertised as having a Mississippi River view. There was no veranda per se and the river was so far out the view was mainly grass. The room itself is spacious but tired. Could use a Keurig and a true honor bar with soda. Could not manage to get ice for soda and the soda down in the lobby was limited and Luke warm. Pillows and bath towels need to be replaced. There is no help with your luggage and my almost 70 year old husband struggled a bit dragging ours up the flight of stairs to our room.
Grounds and outdoor appearance were beautiful. The food in the dining room was delicious and breakfast served to the room was a nice touch. Staff was courteous.

United StatesThe grounds of the property by the EV chargers could use a little more light at night.
The staff was very friendly. The breakfast each morning was very good. Goldmoor Inn provides electric vehicle charging for guests. The English Cottage was very clean and comfortable. Goldmoor Inn is about 15 minutes from downtown Galena.

United StatesNo elevator and no offer of assistance to get our luggage up the skinny stairs. Took a long while to get the hot water up to temp. The view of the Mississippi was just the backwaters and was a long ways off. Long drive to the middle of nowhere.
The room was large. The bed was comfy with plenty of pillows. It was very quiet inside and outside the room. Make your own FULL pot of good coffee. Jacuzzi tub was relaxing. Breakfast was great. The place was like new.

United StatesThere is nothing to dislike!!
The breakfasts were wonderful. There was plenty to eat. The evening meal was fabulous! There were many selections and the preparation and presentation were also exceptional. The staff was friendly and extremely professional. Breakfast is generally served in the room but we were meeting friends from England and requested seating in the dining room. Our request was granted and the owners served us each morning.

United StatesIt would have been nice to have more outdoor seating. Maybe a fire pit area. It was beautiful fall weather when we were there.
We loved the peaceful location and ambiance. It was very welcoming walking up the door. Very clean and classy feel inside. Front desk staff always had a smile. We never heard another guest during our stay. Very quiet. The restaurant was incredible. It was very nice to be able to walk to our room after having a very good meal rather the get in a car and drive. Breakfast delivered to our room each morning. Room cleaned and freshened up each day with cookies on the table.
