Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 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 them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 StatesMy room was a bit musty and dusty. Bathroom was clean with good water pressure. Bed a bit uncomfortable and there seemed to be sand on sheets. Very homey feel with great shampoo, conditioner and pump soap.
Location nice. Train a bit loud, but the back by the pond was wonderful. Great coffee. Wish there was also Decaf. Lovely kitchen and nice fresh fruit and bagels.Yummy choices and glad there was a protein option..

United StatesIt’s very close to a commuter rail line that runs most of the night and day. You will hear the train and the train whistle all night. Our room was very small (but we booked very late so took what we could get)
Parking was convenient. Staff was welcoming The seating near the pond is beautiful and quiet (until the train comes by). The inn is quiet. Did not really hear any noise from the other guests. Morning breakfast was basic but satisfying.

United StatesThe older staircases, although part of their charm, can be tougher to climb for me, but nothing terrible.
The staff was polite and friendly. The private yard overlooking the pond was relaxing. The continental breakfast had a variety of options. The suite was cleaned everyday. Everything was comfortable. Sipping coffee on the front porch with breakfast was very enjoyable.

United StatesLocation can be missed. Breakfast on the pond would be excellent: but that may need more staff.
We got delayed to get there. The location is good ; but can be easily missed. The staff, Seda & property manager, Rona were excellent. The welcome cookies were very good. The breakfast was tasty & sumptuous. The backyard on the pond is very pretty! We stopped back on our way back to pick up my glass covers and manager, Rona let us go back in the backyard to let us take pictures! Both Seda & Rona real nice ladies!

United StatesThough most rooms have their own bathrooms, please note there are a couple rooms that share a bathroom - be sure when you're booking you select a room that meets your requirements in that regard.
Great location, the nearby beach is a pleasant walk and a quiter, less busy beach than adjacent areas. It's in a beautiful neighborhood, the garden and lake are lovely, and the overall "vibe" of the place is very mellow and laid back. If you're looking for a great B&B style accommodation in a historic building you'll like Walden on the Pond.

It was too expensive, the breakfast was not very good, it was not homemade, and this is something I always look forward to in a B&B. too close to railroads and you could hear the train often.

United StatesThe main bed is very wobbly and makes spring noises. The bedsheet are not cotton but a synthetic material. One bed is below the Window AC unit we couldn't use it. The second room where our child slept has no shitters or dark curtains. The door seems it could be open with a little push.
Location is great, the garden with the pond is very pleasant, the breakfast was pleasant as well, the staff looked after us via text in a discreet and efficient manner.

I was traveling by myself for a church event and found The Waldon the same day I was scheduled to leave NC. I absolutely loved my room, I was in the small guest house. To be honest, I could have booked another day just to enjoy the beautiful lake and relating outdoor spaces.
