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 StatesThe website was a little confusing and made it seem like there would be a hot tub or jacuzzi outdoors but instead was jacuzzi bubbles on a bath tub. Also like another reviewer mentioned there are tons of college kids in this area (which is to be expected, of course) so our first night we did encounter several people yelling pretty loudly outside of the house we stayed in and continued to hear it throughout the middle of the night. It’s not showers inn fault nor can they do much about it but it was one of the only negative things about our stay minus the tub situation.
We loved this bed and breakfast. The front desk attendant was great and helped us with all of our needs and any questions we had, even helped bring our take out meal to our room door. The look and feel of this location was excellent. Definitely felt like staying in a comfy home more than a hotel room which is what we were looking for. Overall happy to have stayed and will be back next time we’re in town for sure.

United StatesThe only thing that could’ve been better is the TV service. The selections were very strange and unfamiliar to us and just finding our basic channels to watch were difficult. I also miss the blueberry scones! And the orange juice at breakfast could be improved. Go with a fresher option.
The room was beautiful and super comfy! The breakfast was wonderful and the staff was super friendly. Love the ambiance. Love the convenient parking lot and the room with the porch! Also love having a frig and microwave AND the Bluetooth hookup in the room.

United StatesMultiple nights of our stay we could smell cigarette smoke permeating through hallways of the Composers House where our room was. I am unsure if smoking was allowed indoors (I didn’t check that) but in 2021 it’s pretty unique to find that still around, so it was a bit of an unfortunate surprise to us.
Beautiful rooms, bathrooms were amazing, perfect location, excellent staff! Was a wonderful stay!

United StatesThree things: The breakfast was cold each day. Eggs, toast, or huevas rancheros. Cold. Second, the drinks were tap-water warm. Or, Tepid. Not very satisfying for a cup of coffee or tea. Finally, they didn’t clean our room all week. No trash removed, dirty towels left on the floor, etc. we were asked to request clean towels, but they didn’t go in the room to collect the used towels.
Beautiful inn with a wonderful atmosphere. Nice staff. Friendly.

United StatesThe front door for registration is locked at 8p. I was not informed of this in advance. I was at campus orientation all day going into the evening and received a phone call in the middle of a session from Anne letting me know this and asking when I was arriving. I appreciated, at least, that we were able to work around my schedule. The room itself (Lazy River) is right next door to the main entrance to Composer House, so it slammed every time someone went in or out. It's good I wasn't trying to sleep in. The room itself is lovely, but the location of it in the facility is not. Also, I had emailed the property inquiring about parking; no one ever responded until I called and left a voicemail, then Mike called me back.
Terrific location, beautiful space. The breakfast is good, but I would have appreciated a greater selection or even buffet-style offerings. For those going to events at IU, it is close to the West side, but quite far from the East side.
