How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewPicturesque and high location but difficult to get to. Coffee making equipment is poor and just for one room. A serious disappointment is the 'dumb' TV which one can't use without further software. Don't call it a TV. Bathroom: there was very little space to put anything down on a counter or table. One little table is not enough for two people.
Room was spacious, nice view but is not a place where you can go for a walk because of the very steep hills. 60 steps have walked down before one can start walking and of course one has to climb up again to get Grouse Cheerful.

Verified reviewWe had a wonderful stay! The accommodation offered a breathtaking view of the downtown and the surrounding mountains, which made mornings and evenings truly special. The location was perfect, with easy access to public transportation and nearby amenities. The space was spotlessly clean, and the kitchen had everything I needed, making it very convenient to prepare meals. Everything was well-organized, clear, and simple to use, which made my stay comfortable and stress-free. I would definitely recommend this place and hope to return!

Verified reviewClean big room with private bathroom. Quiet restful sleep. Large kitchen with dedicated dishes and cutlery for each guest. Well thought out and great hosts.
Everything was good. There was a power outage on the first day but that was mother nature doing its thing. The host were very helpful and accomodating. They brought candles and extra blankets and made sure I was comfortable.

Verified reviewImpressive, well organised house. Easy to settle in and figure out how everything worked with shared accommodation.
It is shared accommodation, with 4 other occupants, and some food disappeared from the fridge. Room heated up during the day like a sauna !

Verified reviewI loved the location , beautiful views
I booked this property for the hot tub and was not informed that it was out of order . We were very disappointed! I wouldn’t have booked if we knew this info.
Hi Cheryl, I'm sorry to hear your thoughts about the hot tub, however it is working. It is noted in our listing that the hot tub doesn't have jets, if that's what you are referring to? My apologies if this wasn't clear upon booking.

Verified reviewThe location is very relaxing, the room was very spacious and beautiful view. I had booked one bed by mistake and needed an extra bed, so I contacted the staff through the app they responded quickly and accommodated my request even though it was last minute. Any other questions, I asked, I was answered accordingly, I am very pleased with the experience. The place will definitely be my spot next trip to Vancouver.

Verified reviewPros: * Private room * Pretty view * Prompt response from the manager(s) of the place (they're not at the house though)
Cons: * Poor room temperature control. * Inconsistent heat. * Very poor insulation. Thermostat works but the Grouse room's heater (which is under the huge window) takes forever to warm the room while all other parts of the house are boiling. * The oven and stove smell (when cooking) will travel into the room and linger for a long time because the room is right above the kitchen. Very poor ventilation. * Lacks housekeeping. Full of dust and staleness upon arrival.
Unfortunately this guest was not suited for this space- would be better suited to a hotel. We cleaned prior to their arrival of course, and the “lack” of cleaning she’s referring to, which we asked for photos of upon complaint, was one single cobweb in a pot light. We didn’t receive photos of any other cleaning issues. We then went in and cleaned the next day, and offered a refund for this small oversight. This guest was difficult to satisfy.

Verified reviewNeeds curtain on door facing street. Bathroom needs another towel rack and a small table with shelves to put toiletries/cosmetics etc. Take off gross medicine cabinet and put nice mirror instead. Bed super comfy! Appreciated rapid responses to concerns from owner. Lovely house, everything provided- not able to appreciate use of backyard due to weather - boo
See above- did not like that bathroom was outside of bedroom but not a huge deal

Verified reviewThe Grouse Cheerful bedroom was the perfect place to stay in Vancouver. The house was gorgeous and the large bedroom was very comfortable. I thought that this was going to be a shared common room but you have your own living room. We woke up to beautiful views including a view of our cruise ship on Sunday morning. Close to great restaurants, ships, stores, live music, Grouse mountain. All with 2 mile car ride. This was truly a hidden gem.
There was nothing we didn't like but the room did get hot with the afternoon sun and you might need a rental car or bicycle to get around.
