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 service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

United StatesWe enjoyed the historic property, its history and our engaging conversations with the proprietor. The breakfast was wonderful and very memorable. We've honestly never had a better breakfast when staying in a hotel. It's worth a few miles off of our beaten path to visit The Landmark Inn again.

United StatesWhile we understand the difficulties of renovating a historic building, the one amenity that was lacking was a lift. Our mobility challenged traveling companion could not visit the charming sitting room on the 3rd floor to visit, and it was difficult after being on the road for 2 weeks to have to carry heavy suitcases up the stairs to our suite. Also with the lack of places to eat in Oberlin, it would have been nice if the hotel had supper service every night, as your chef was excellent.
Excellent food. Really enjoyed the use of the main dining room and the unrushed atmosphere. Gary did EVERYTHING to make us comfortable and well taken care of.

United StatesI should have asked in advance where we should have parked and what entrance to use to check in. It would have made the process a bit easier.
We needed to request an earlier than usual breakfast so we could get on the road at an early hour. The owner went above and beyond to ensure we had an excellent breakfast prepared 30 minutes early. Perfectly cooked eggs and sausage along with perfectly ripe cantaloupe & watermelon along with a delicious muffin. The coffee cups stayed full and the hot tea by Stash was spot on (one of my favorite brands!).

United StatesWell, it rained. But I guess Gary was not the one to control that. LOL
We were greeted by Gary, the owner and he made us feel very welcome and was very friendly. We had a special needs relative (wheelchair bound) and Gary assured us that he was welcome to visit and made him feel very welcome. Gary included him to visit us for breakfast the next morning. I would recommend this place to anyone traveling who appreciates great comfort and exceptional care.

Lovingly restored with little expense spared when it was done in 1996. Wonderful antiques throughout. The “coach house” is a newer 2-story attached building but we did not see those rooms. Dining room downstairs in what was the main hall of the bank.

United StatesDidn’t mind the antique furniture but bedding was shabby and quilts looked dirty. Carpet had noticeable dirt near edge of beds, Lighting was extremely bad, dimly lit room making it almost impossible to read or put makeup on. Description of the inn should have advised about the stairs. Unfortunately didn’t get to have the breakfast has we had to leave before they served. The innkeeper did however give us to muffins to take with us. Sorry I had to give this review but our stay was not what we expected
