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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

An addenda. I was not offered a receipt for the payment , so i asked for one from the Inn. Turns i was charged $18 for breakfast. Breakfast is included in the room charge according to website. So i asked for a refund. I did NOT get a response from Inn. So i disputed the overcharge on my credit card. I standby my review above of the property , but i will add that you need to get a receipt for all charges associated with the Inn
Absolutely stunning location. Perfect to explore Alhambra and Pasadena from instead of cookie cutter hotels. Just charming. Self check in. Historic and lovely site. We will be back. Breakfast was terrific in just marvelous dining room . Really a wonderful place to stay

Breakfast was very bland. Sausage had no flavor. Server needed to be more attentive with coffee, etc. Usually B and B's have a little more "special" breakfast than what you get at a regular hotel.
The porch off the room was amazing. The whole place was beautiful and comfortable. Loved the wine in the afternoon and the honor bar. We were allowed a late checkout, which was very helpful with our travel plans.

Be prepared for stairs, especially if you are on the 3rd floor. The location is lovely, but not really walkable to many places although this did not bother us.
It's a beautiful old craftsman home that has been well kept and updated. Our bed was large and the bathroom spacious. The breakfast was very nice and the lush oak trees and mountain views made for an wonderful ambiance. And the price was very reasonable, about the same as many motels in Pasadena.

This is the first b&b I’ve been to where breakfast was available but not included in the room price. This was also the only B&B i’ve been too where I never saw anyone except the server of the not included breakfast who clearly was there only for breakfast. Staff was available by phone, but only during business hours.
The location and happy hour were very nice.

The dead bold in our room didn't work and the key didn't fit. Not a problem since the door knob lock worked fine, but a bit confusing if you thought you locked the dead bold and the key didn't fit.
A choice between a simple and fancy breakfast was appreciated. Sometimes you just want a couple eggs and an English Muffin.
