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 reviewWe enjoyed our stay, we were visiting family whose apartment was 10 minutes walk away so it was perfect for this.
The door to the bathroom has a gap that means it isn't as private as it could be.
Sorry for the inconvenience . I will find someone to fix it. Thanks

Verified reviewI highly recommend it. Great location to easily walk to Kits beach and to 4th Avenue shops and cafes. Sharen was very accommodating, helpful and friendly, showing me how to light the fire and bringing me an extra blanket, doing all she could to make sure I was comfortable. Sharen also loaned me a yoga mat when she learned I teach yoga. The bed is so comfortable. I slept really well. Lots of space to move around and so cosy in the evenings after being out all day. I would definitely stay again. Thank you Sharen for your kind hospitality and lovely accommodation that is full of character.
Thank you very much for your kindness.

Verified reviewVery clean and comfortable in safe neighborhood. A good place to relax. Quite central and very quiet. Kitsilano beach is near. Shopping options and public transport very close. The owner is very friendly and open to answer your questions and help if she can. If I visit Vancouver again I would always try to stay there again!
Thank you very much!

I’d you’re planning to drive, parking is very challenging especially if you’re planning to stay out late in the evening. The place is really not that close to Kitsilano beach but definitely walking distance. A bit long of a walk though.

Verified reviewThe location is awesome, as there're many buses sent us to DT or Granville island for around 20-30 mins. There's supermarket, post office and a convenience store nearby. (I think we shall only bring clothes and toothbrush to live in....LOL) Sometimes it's too comfortable to leave the house for travel (strong and fast WIFI). BTW, the five-minute walk beach is recently blocked for tree-removing, or the view is fascinating. In the nearby area, there're some cherry blossoms and other flowers, very beautiful.
Thanks you very much, better describe than mine lol

Verified reviewThe location was in a quiet neighbourhood not far from our daughter’s home. We had everything we needed and we were able to bring our grandchildren over for visits during the day. The fireplace kept the suite warm and cozy during the cool March weather. We were there for 2 weeks so we really appreciated having the washer and dryer right so close at hand.
The bedding was the only thing that could have been better. Newer linen on the bed would have been nice.

Verified reviewWe would like to share a few words of praise for the wonderful stay we’ve had at Sharin, during the Christmas Holidays. First of all, the suite is located very conveniently, in wonderful Kitsilano neighbourhood. There is a convenience store very close by, Shoppers Drugmart, Safeway, Starbucks and Whole Foods, just to name a few, are all within walking distance. There are also some unique stores for shopping and plenty of appealing restaurants in this area. Very close is also Kitsilano beach, so feel free to grab a coffee and go on a stroll. Another wonderful Vancouver attraction, also very close to the suite, is Granville Island, a very recommended spot to visit. Sharin is a lovely lady, always ready to help with anything, as required. The suite is very clean and most importantly, very quiet as well. It is well equiped with everything you need for your stay: pans, plates, cuttlery, kettle, coffee maker, microwave, TV, stove, washer and dryer and our favourite - a fireplace that has something magic to it, making it very difficult to leave the area next to it. To describe Sharin’s place in a few words: so warm and cozy! Just your home away from home type of place. Sharin was also very accommodating with our requests and overall, a very understanding host. We are definitely coming back!
Thank you very much Ruxandra. I really appreciate you description. I wish I could do more for you guys. It was horrible snow storm during your stay, but I hope you had good Christmas fun in vancouver. You’re welcome anytime.
