Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

United States of AmericaThe only mirror in the room is the small one above the sink.
This has a lot of the qualities you want in a good B&B. Comfy beds with nice linens, selection of high quality breads, jams, yogurt and cereals for breakfast, nice coffee, etc. Homer is not large, you can drive almost anywhere in town in 10 minutes or less from the B&B. Friendly hostess (this is a traditional B&B, if you prefer not interacting with others, this would not be a good fit for you).

Beautiful, quiet location that looked out over the Katchemak Bay. Host was friendly and amazingly accommodating as we were halibut fishing and she let us use her freezer to keep fish in. Nice big kitchen for cooking meals was available, as well as an outside grill. Lots of places to relax both inside and out.

United States of AmericaOf all the places we stayed in Alaska, this was the most memorable. Lori, the host was very warm and welcoming. Our kid instantly clicked with her. She gave our kid books to read, activity books to work with, among other things. The dog Yaro was a good source of entertainment for our family. The breakfast was mostly the items you would have at home (bread, jam, oatmeal packets, waffles). It was self serve (make your own eggs sort of thing) but it was always there. So we could eat early or late and even have some of the breakfast items as a snack. The madeleines from the local bakery were amazing. The rooms were comfy. The location was nice - good views from the living room area. You will still need a car to go to the harbor to grab local food. All in all, we would highly recommend this place if you are staying in Homer.

The bay view was amazing!! An eagle flew right in front of my window!! The owner and staff were so nice and accommodating. The selection of breakfast foods was great, and the additional fruit bowls were perfect for me. The location was great for a short walk or a quick taxi ride to the places of interest, and I really appreciated the host taking me to my bear tour and then to the bus pick-up point. I will definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone that is traveling to the area!

The breakfast was well laid out and easy to use everything. The many different people we met were great and happy to be there and share about their experiences that they were having in the area. It was clean and Lori would check in with us when we saw her and make sure we were taken care of. The property was beautiful with views of the beach and mountains and glaciers. The deck was a nice lace to hang out and enjoy the surroundings.
