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.).

Room was clean; daughter enjoyed the petting zoo; rockers on the porch were a nice touch; good view of the train

United StatesThe mattresses in the bunk beds were not made for anyone over 100lbs. It was not comfortable.
Everything we needed was in one place. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The food at the Casey Jones Restaurant was very good. I will definitely stay again.

United StatesSecond time staying here and loved it! Stayed in the farm house this time since we had more people with us and other than having to move rooms due to a leaky ceiling (people in room upstairs broke their sink) it was excellent. Staff was very accommodating and switched us to a different room next morning. Very friendly staff and delicious food. The kids loved the animals in the petting zoo and being able to see and hear the train right from our room.

United StatesThe smell of the horse waste that stayed on the road for a day out near our room wasn't pleasant. Other than that it is such a fun and unique place.
The caboose was a caboose and you can't change the size of it. It was small but absolutely fantastic to stay in. We loved the fact that we were inside an old redone caboose. Plan and simple, you must try this at least once!! Don't forget to eat at the restaurant (yes it's a train coach!!!!) It has an awesome deck you can have a late night beverage on as well!! Also has a cool little petting zoo and you can take a buggy ride onsite. A kid train musuem was right next door as well!! My wife and I also took a train ride, which was right down the street!. Yes, lots to do and see!!! Book it and try it!!

United StatesThe inside design of the caboose made it cramped. I would not like to have to sleep with another adult in a double bed. The price was jacked up for the weekend.
The novelty of it was charming.

United StatesThe beds
I think the experience of staying in a real caboose was excellent! My son loves trains, and this was a great little adventure. The only thing I would recommend is more comfortable beds. I think for the price to stay there, the beds could be a bit better, but other than that, it was great! If you, or know someone that is a train lover, I would definitely recommend!

United StatesOur car was tilted, so it was a little awkward walking and doors would fly open if not held onto. Bathroom mirror and shower head need to be higher. Bed wasn't overly comfortable.
Cute and unique setup. The restaurant had good breakfast. In a rural setting.

United KingdomAccommodation was a little cramped, but you wouldn’t expect anything else if staying in a caboose!
Quaint and novel accommodation, basic but spotlessly clean. A must for railroad enthusiasts! A bonus to have so many facilities on site, especially Casey Jones’ restaurant with delicious home cooked food. Staff were great. Very convenient for the Strasburg railroad museum and the Railroad museum of Pennsylvania. Also interesting to be in the heart of Amish culture. Recommend Kelly’s kitchen for authentic Amish fayre.

United StatesThe observation tower is now locked and we were unable to climb it like we did every time we’ve gone. A nice addition to there property would be an ice cream station!
This was our 5th time staying here and we love it!!! The bed was very comfortable and the bath was clean! They gave us a call when our train car was ready and we were able to check in early. The restaurant is a plus being onsite along with a gift shop and buggy rides! The steam engine goes by the property 2 times every hour! Very close to all the attractions in Lancaster.
