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 AmericaWe liked everything.
Great hotel! We liked the Victorian style of the lobby and the room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They let us store our bicycles in the locked basement so we did not have to drag them upstairs and keep in our room. The hotel is right in the middle of the historical downtown. Short walking distance to restaurants and shops. The price for the night was very reasonable. Highly recommend. Will definitely stay there again.

United States of AmericaOnly thing we didn’t enjoy was the lack of elevator but it’s an old building what can you do.
Loved every single thing!!! The room was so charming and the beds and pillows were so comfortable. It was a great location to walk around the down town and we even had a slightly “paranormal” experience in our room that we can’t quite explain and we were so excited. Great service at the desk and just all around one of the best hotels we have ever stayed at.

United States of AmericaOur table was a little bit wobbly and we had to go ask for a few items we needed, but the hotel staff was very helpful in getting what we needed.
The room was cozy and warm, and the whole hotel was full of charm. We enjoyed the sitting room where we sat with books and coffee. It was also convenient to all the shops we wanted to walk to.

Costa RicaI understand there's no elevator, but I would recommend perhaps hiring someone to help with the bags. We were staying on the third floor and had to carry 5 bags through 2 flights of stairs. Not a major concern, just something to improve the experience:)
Amazing location! Close to everything! The living room was great for board games at night. Comfortable beds too.

United States of AmericaThere is no elevator. Their posting made that clear and it was honestly not a worry. We figured 3 floors would be easy peasy. 😳 Not so much when each floor has maybe 20+ foot ceilings? Those stairs gave us a wakeup call on our fitness levels. But #1: It's totally worth it. #2: There are several adorable nooks and seating areas to catch your breath all the way up and plenty of things to look at along the way.
Everything was wonderful! The staff were so unbelievably friendly, the place was decked out in holiday decorations which was joyful & festive, the room was wonderful. So much charm and care taken to make it quaint and cozy while also modern and fresh. I highly recommend a stay at this hotel. You will not be disappointed. My favorite spot was a chair they put on the landing from the loft in front of a floor to ceiling window. Such a simple and sweet detail and a truly peaceful moment.

United States of AmericaNothing - we liked it all.
The hotel is beautiful. We had the split level room which has basically a full sized kitchen with all the essentials for a beautiful in-room dinner. The room is perfect if you were staying for maybe a week. Port Townsend is a quaint town, but I didn’t get to spend enough time there. Would definitely stay there again. No spooky spirits though. Maybe next time.

United States of AmericaNo elevator, so 3 floors up to our room, but worth the hike! It's an old period hotel, so bathrooms not spacious, but room is spacious. If you don't appreciate the "old", you won't enjoy this hotel, but those who do, will find it charming.
Loved all the areas you could just sit and enjoy all the period pieces and imagine what it must have been like 150 years ago. Kept very clean and comfortable rooms. Staff friendly and helpful. Fun old hotel and perfect location to enjoy the town.

United States of AmericaNot a problem for us, but the entrance was a few doors down from the Lobby, on the street, which needed a passcode to enter, then some formidable stairs to get to the room.
Lovely room and very quiet. Enchanting decor, nice to have the kitchen, but didn't use it. Saw deer out the back window.
