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 reviewThe view was absolutely amazing. It doesn't get better than this. The rooms were very clean and everything one could need was available. We were running late for check-in, but the owner was very flexible and didn't mind we arrived shortly before 10pm. He was easy to communicate with.
The place has two units that are rented out. Unfortunately we were there at the same time as a family with smaller children, one of which was crying and screaming quite a bit. Usually we don't mind this (as we have kids ourselves), but the walls are far from sound proof and we were woken at 6am. Not something we were looking for while being on vacation. So if you prefer your peace and quiet, I'd wouldn't recommend this suite. Unless you book both units. ;-)

Verified reviewWe had an excellent stay! The hosts were truly amazing; friendly, attentive, and always willing to help. The room was spotless, with a comfortable bed and a welcoming atmosphere. The bathroom was equally clean and well-maintained, stocked with everything we needed. We really appreciated the great hospitality, from the warm welcome to the thoughtful touches throughout our stay. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for comfort, cleanliness, outstanding service, and amazing views.

Verified reviewA warm welcome from the host. The room had a wrap around view of the bay. From the balcony we saw lots of birds and with binoculars we saw whales out in the ocean. The suite was clean.
The bed was slightly too soft. The coffee etc needs modernising. Our toilet was an adjoining door to the kitchen so you could hear the house. We go to bed early. Someone was talking very loudly and clanking pans and cupboard doors still at 11pm.

Verified reviewAbsolutely stunning. The room is huge, with king size bed, 2 sitting chairs, a walk- in kitchenette (fridge, coffee maker, microwave, cutlery and plates etc everything you mightneed) and hanging space and a massive bathroom. Two sinks, bathtub and a shower that could fit 4 people!! Floor to ceiling glass windows look our over the water from Nanaimo and Pipers lagoon, full 180 degree views. The owners were extremely helpful and welcoming. They even did a load of washing for us! The room has a digital lock so you know your stuff is safe. Incredibly quiet and relaxing. Got to spot a few whales off the balcony whilst enjoying home made delicious breakfast that was excellent value for only $10 pp. You need to have a car to get up to the house as it is high up but it's definitely worth it . We honestly felt like we were in luxury for the 2 nights. Fully recommend this wonderful accommodation to everyone. We would most definitely stay here again.
Nothing. Everything was sensational and beyond expectations.

Verified reviewThis was our 2nd stay here and it’s was just as wonderful. We stayed for 8 nights in June 25 The view alone both day and night is incredible and is why we returned The apartment is very clean and comfortable with everything you need. Washing machine /dryer very handy The host Charles is very kind and we had no issues with privacy or noise ( the family live above the apartment) It’s a great base for exploring the middle part of the island but you definitely need a car
Nothing we love it !

Verified reviewThe view was lovely.
People next door had to walk past our door to get to their accommodation. It was a very basic unit. The owner lived upstairs & had access through an internal door. Not ideal. It didn't have a lot of comforts & really was a steep drive to get there.

Verified reviewIncredible views over the coast of nanaimo. Only stayed one night. Lots of space, big comfortable bed, large bathroom with 2 sinks. Plus an additional Small room with microwave, kettle coffee machine toaster etc.
It was part of a family home so it felt a little strange but our stay was short and we loved the room and the balcony. We had a car so being way up on the hillside wasn’t a problem for us.
