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 StatesWe could not figure out how to turn on the fireplace.
The Victorian Inn is a perfect location to spend time in Blowing Rock without having to get into the car. The room was cozy, and the bathtub was divine! There is a great breakfast place across the street, the Famous Toasty. Just perfect for starting the day. The walk-up Sunset to Main Street is filled with fun places to eat or drink. Once you get to Main Street you are in the heart of Blowing Rock. Definitely would return to the Victorian Inn.

United StatesThe shower leaked a little which they are addressing,
A nice sized room with a cute sitting area on the 2nd floor (small flight). Short walk to the charming downtown and numerous restaurants close to the Inn. Comfortable room, AC and Wi-Fi worked great. Karen the Inn manager easy to contact and very helpful. Wish we had more than one night to visit this quaint town, would definitely stay here again.

United StatesWiFi was very weak at best and sometimes unavailable. Short steps up onto the porch no issue for most, but I need to hold onto something. I used the flower pot and then the post and that was fine but a handrail on one side would be have been better. These are minor complaints, overall I loved the Victorian Inn. Very comfortable and pleasant.
Very comfortable, well located near town, very cute old house. Loved my little porch by the garden. Loved that there was a Hulu subscription so I could watch some of my shows without having to remember my password. The onsite contact wasn’t there when I arrived but I got her on the phone and she was SO helpful walking me through getting access. I was able to get into the room early which I appreciated. Overall a lovely short stay. Would return.

United StatesEverything was perfect
The proximity to town is what makes this place a true gem - once we arrived, we didn't drive anywhere for our 2 night stay. Less than a 10 minute walk to plenty of shops, a small market and restaurants and only about a 15 minute walk to the entrance of Moses Cone Memorial Park/Bass Lake. The air was already turned on and had our room nice and cool (anyone that knows, old houses with no central air knows heat rises), but the wall unit kept us nice and cool during the whole visit. Cookies and coffee and creamer was also waiting for us. Karen texted us when our room was ready well before check-in, which was appreciated :) The bathroom was large and spacious, which is great when you have a tall spouse :) There's a lovely garden in the back, as well, which I loves hearing the little stream walking back at night.

United KingdomWould have been useful to have shower gel as well as shampoo, milk pods were off and no sugars in room. As no staff on site meant we had to go without a coffee the evening we arrived. Staff responded quickly to message next morning though which was good. Unfortunately the toilet brush holder hadn’t been cleaned which made me feel a bit nauseous. Otherwise room was very clean so this was a great shame
Great location and room was a good size. Bed was really comfortable. Parking right outside

United StatesThe property is stylish and well done, the room was large, nicely furnished and the bed was super comfortable. There is a coffee maker, fridge and microwave, which for longer stays is very useful. The Inn is a short stroll from the Main Street of Blowing Rock which is an upmarket small town in the mountains with lovely restaurants and shops. The innkeeper Karen was so helpful and charming. We would highly recommend Blowing Rock and The Victorian Inn.
