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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

United StatesNo complaints.
Richard was an ideal host. His house was beautifully decorated, down to the 15 foot preserved tree in the living room. The breakfasts were delicious and healthy. The house and room were very clean—he made up the bed and bathroom daily. When i commented the bed was a bit hard for me, he added cushioning to make it perfect. Richard was very considerate—he cleared out space for me to safely lock my bike at night and gave me excellent travel tips. And, the location was perfect—walking distance to all major tourist attractions. I would absolutely recommend this B&B to anyone.

CanadaOur room came with a private bathroom but it was just down the hallway.
The location was only a 14 minute walk to City Hall and the surrounding Parliament buildings. Breakfast was excellent with fresh fruit cocktail, homemade muffins, scrambled eggs, yogurt and cheese. Richard was a wonderful host. Our room had a balcony and parking was included.

The B&B is a beautifully restored Victorian home. It has so much character and interested history. Our host, Richard, was very helpful, gracious, and always happy to answer questions. Breakfast was wonderful and filling and we appreciated being given the additional muffins to take with us for a snack later in the day. And we must also mention Sandy, the ever present resident dog who always greeted us with a happy wagging tail.

United KingdomAbsolutely beautiful house, with an amazing host and breakfast, as well as being really well positioned for everything we wanted to see and do. Bedroom was really comfortable. Richard was incredibly helpful and went out of his way to enable us to make the most of our short stay in Ottawa. Sandy is also an absolute delight, and his waggy tail was the icing on the cake of a great place to stay.

United KingdomI can't think of anything.
The house was a beautifully restored late Victorian villa. Our room was spacious and very clean and well appointed. The breakfasts were delicious with a wide choice of things to eat, especially the blueberry muffins which were the best I have ever tasted. Our host was very welcoming and helpful, especially in giving us a route in which to take in all the sights in Ottawa as we only had a day in which to visit the city. The location was excellent, a short walk down to the Byward Market and the main shops. And, as a bonus, there was Sandy the dog to make a fuss of!

CanadaI wouldn't change a thing.
Breakfasts were excellent: fruit, cereal, fresh croissants and muffins, scrambles eggs, cheese and yoghurt. Well located within walking distance to everything downtown, parliament buildings university etc. The house is a 200 year old charmer loaded with character. I loved the 'whispering' hardwood floors. Very comfortable beds. Host has a wealth of information about his city.

A century-old garden villa, located near the University of Ottawa, next to the famous Byward Market, extremely convenient transportation. The owner, a chatty old man who has traveled the world in retirement, is hospitable, recommending Ottawa attractions and food, and sending guests a map. Dogs are so cute, so docile. We rented on the second floor, the space was independent, the room was clean and tidy. Breakfast was croissants and muffins, which were delicious. All in all, it was a great experience, thank you!
