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 are accustomed to somewhat sterile Airbnbs and were blown away with our experience at the Holidae House! It is clear John and Jeanette love what they do and they go above and beyond to ensure your stay is as pleasant as possible. The property itself is quaint, charming, and impeccably clean. We can't wait to come back!

CanadaDuring our stay, the central steam heating system in the whole house wasn’t working properly (on/off at around 62/64 degrees). thankfully in all the upstair rooms, we had a little heating fan that kept our room warm. Was chilly on the main floor (living room) and dining room but again, in that latter one, additional heating fans were working at breakfast. besides that, I greatly recommend the Holidae House
Jeannette is a Great « chef »… She cooks astonishing breakfasts. I even got 2 of her recipes. John, her husband, treats us like special guests, always has great stories to talk about.

United States of AmericaI thought the bed was a bit soft but my wife loves that. Different strokes... There was only a draw curtain to separate the bathroom. We would have preferred a more solid door installation. But overall the room was fantastic and beautifully decorated.
Great location on the main drag in Bethel. Maybe 4 miles to Sunday River ski resort, or 5 to the golf resort. Maine Mineral and Gem Museum is a couple doors down. Fascinating; tells the story of gem crystal mining and also a whole floor devoted to meteorites. Breakfast was amazing, and the morning coffee is always fresh ground from beans. Keurig available with a great selection of coffee & tea for later day. Proprietors extremely friendly and engaging in conversation with guests; truly 110% concerned with comfort and satisfaction. They start you off with a personal tour of the house and all its features, answering any questions you might have. House itself VERY solid for an older structure - you don't hear much at all from creaking floorboards, stairs, etc. Plenty of street parking. Good selection of casual dining with entertainment in easy walking distance down the street. We visited 6 different lodgings during a 3-week ski trip, and this experience was the best of them. We only stayed one night between ski resorts, but definitely would consider for a longer stay in the future.

United States of AmericaThe Holidae House was such a warm and lovely stay in Bethel. John and Jeannette were gracious hosts that provided expert service, a lovely Victorian style B&B, and great breakfast! They shared great recommendations for our stay including where to get outdoor equipment and where to eat. As dog lovers they also lets us meet and spend some time with their furry friends! We so enjoyed ourselves an hope to be back at some point.

United States of AmericaThe only thing I would change is having soft white light bulbs in the lamps rather than bright white. It would make the place even cozier.
John and Jeannette were very friendly and welcoming. Anything we needed (not that we needed much beyond the norm) they were accommodating. Jeannette's cooking for breakfast was excellent, as were the snacks she would have out in the afternoons. The bedroom we stayed in was cozy, and well appointed. And very warm, which was great when it was nearly 0° outside. Walkable to all the restaurants in Bethel. I would stay here again, and we are already planning our next visit.

The owners, they are brilliant hostages. Location is also top, as it is close to restaurants and to the sky resort. We went there with our infant (6 months) and i don’t have words to express how well they treated us providing a crib and all facilities (room on the 1st floor, nanny to stay on the common areas, fridge for baby bottles). This is the second time we came here, and we will repeat!!
