Each review score is between 1–10. To get the overall score 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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil, and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 like 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...).

The location was great, with Wendy's, McDonald & KFC around. The room & bathroom were clean with all amenities. Good stopover at scenic Vermont on my way to Boston. The hotel got its name from the covered bridge that one has to drive through while I was traveling from NY to Brattleboro, VT.

Don’t let the outside detour your stay, when we pulled into the lot, I told my spouse that we are NOT staying here, but when we got our room key and opened the door, I was shocked how nice the room was, and the breakfast was ok

No complaints - if you come looking for the Ritz you’re in the wrong place. I was here last year and would definitely return.
By today’s (inflated) standards it was a fair deal. Fridge, microwave, TV all worked - lots of TV choices btw. Bed was very comfortable. Clean, hot water, good pressure…and so on.

We appreciate that breakfast was provided, and included in the room rate. However, the only food possible for those who can't eat gluten was bland cornflakes. Would be great if you could offer some fruit, yogurt, and some protein like cold cuts, nuts, or hard-boiled eggs. The stay would have been excellent if the smokers moved away from the building door, and the windows and room door had better sound proofing (we could hear every patron at the fast food place 100ft away), and I could eat your breakfast.
The room itself was clean, the beds comfy, and yay for nice clean microwave and fridge.

We just stopped for one night on our way up north. It was good. The bed was comfortable, the room was quiet and clean. There were two ants in the bathtub when I checked in. I just left them there and in the morning, they were dead. I don't know what killed them, lol.

The door card started to work only after the third change. The area didn't feel secure. Some people were smoking weed in their cars in front of the hotel, and we were worried about our skis in the car.
Fast wifi. Self service breakfast was ok.

Breakfast felt bare bones. Stale air. Everything is locked down and out at night.
Covers seemed clean for the most part. Occasional tear or hair or discolored pillow. A few dead spiders in the tub so the room may not have been touched in a while. But nothing deal breaking. The room overall was a stale clean vibe. Fine enough for one night. Breakfast was basically cereal, bagel, gas station muffin, with yogurt and milk in the fridge. Wifi works just fine but there's nowhere to work after check out since they lock down the breakfast room. Note that if you arrive after 10 they close down the lobby despite check in on booking saying till midnight. You'd have to call someone, so keep your phone on you. There's no access into the building without a functioning card once the lobby is locked. Not too comforting when one of the cards were not working when we went out to get our luggage and got locked out for a bit in the cold till we found a door that would accept one of our cards. A quick run down of the amenities like when breakfast takes place and confirming the password free wifi during check in would help spice up customer service. Introduction was more occasional quips like "no pets!" "no smoking!" Peppered through the check in process instead. But alas, they probably just wanted to clock out, so don't hold it to them. No issues with sound and no issues with noisy neighbors. Air feels stale though like smoke is getting into the halls, or if the building is just old. It made me wonder if they did have smoking rooms somewhere, but all the rooms are labeled "no smoking" 🤷♀️. Maybe it's a general issue they run into often.
