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.).

GermanyThis is a beautiful bed and breakfast, hosted by the owners in the historic town of Appomattox. The house is lovely, a beautifully renovated home in the vernacular of the area in the 1800s. The food was excellent as one of the owners is an accomplished chef. This is definitely worth a stop!

United StatesNot much at all to improve. Such a fine old historic inn w/ history.  The balcony out front is for all guests and not attached to one room. There was capsule coffee upstairs in the hall. The Rebecca room, no 4, had a double bed, not a queen. I think the rooms surrounding ours (3,5,6) seemed to offer queen beds, with 5 and 6 being on back corner thus having very sunny windows. But honestly you can’t go wrong at Babcock House!
Babcock house is the ultimate bed and breakfast experience. In a historic home in Appomattox, we enjoyed tremendous breakfasts after our nights in the Rebecca room on second floor. We enjoyed the balcony over the front porch as a storm began to set in. We read the reviews about dinner, so we then booked a reservation for Friday night supper. It lives up to all these reviews! The dinner menu was full of delicious options, and I can tell each was well prepared based on our two choices that evening. The cocktails were innovative. For what we were served, it was very reasonably priced. The breakfast came with the room, which was also an excellent package. One morning was, sausage, eggs and grits but with a twist. Another was French baguette, pancake with strawberry syrup and bacon. I can give kudos to this and keep a couple for knowing how to treat guests so they will come back. We spoke with another couple who comes three or four times a year from about an hour away. I think that speaks volumes!!

United StatesLovely house. Everyone was very welcoming and helpful. The bed was very comfortable with nice linens. There was coffee and tea available any time upstairs. There was a nice front balcony and an additional sitting room where you can read. The breakfast was excellent. There was homemade hash with eggs or French toast with some of the best bacon that they make themselves. I would definitely return.

United StatesSadly, outside of this little gem and the Appomattox Courthouse, there is really nothing to do in the town.
The inn was charming, the hosts were delightful, and the food was delicious! Our room was lovely - a little dated- but the beautiful bathroom and charming second floor balcony were wonderful added features.

United StatesThis was my first time at a bed and breakfast. I may never stay in a hotel again! The staff is so warm and personable. The suite we were in was modern and yet cozy with a farmhouse feel...with a gas fireplace that made it my happy place during our stay. The food was nothing short of amazing!! They also have the most beautiful library (photos attached) and I'm a book lover so this was a huge bonus for me. Breakfast is included with your stay and it wasn't just coffee and donuts like at a regular hotel. No, honey. I had peaches in molasses with whipped cream and a ham omelet and every bite was deliciously satisfying! And...I left my silver pinkie ring and texted the Inn Keeper--because she gave us her number-- and she is mailing me back my ring. And when I told her I forgot to purchase a shirt, she offered to charge it to my card and mail it along with my ring. You can't get that kind of service at a hotel. We will definitely be back!
