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 reviewLoved the hospitality from Norm and Mitsuko! The room was nice and spacious, bedding was very comfy after a long day of hiking. Best of all was their breakfast! They were also so kind to let me drop off some of my items the night before. It's a full brunch with egg, sausage, potato, salad and a bunch of fruits. Truly beats all hotel breakfasts I've had.
Loved everything

Verified reviewWe enjoyed the amount of space devoted to guests, outdoor seating options, complete morning breakfasts, the cleanliness, the friendliness of the hosts and the ideal proximity to the historic downtown and beaches.
Good to come in the daylight, as access to this property is in an alley. My own fault, but didn’t readily see a plug in source to recharge our vehicle. Parking is tight. Noise level from the vehicle traffic from the bridge connecting West Kelowna to Kelowna proper is pretty heavy at most times - the hosts do provide earplugs, but you may want to bring your own comfortable earpieces.

It could be better if not close to the highway.

Verified reviewThis was truly one of the best accommodation experiences my husband and I have ever experienced. We were in town for a triathlon and Mitsuko and Norm were incredibly kind and just delightful hosts. They were also very accommodating and even made us a packed breakfast for the day of the race since we wouldn't be around during breakfast time. Both that and the 'proper' breakfast we had the day after were absolutely delicious. I highly recommend you go here and I hope I get the chance to stay there again!
Everything was great! I can't think of a single thing I would change.

Verified reviewWe found a good B&B in Kelowna before heading to the Rockies. Mitsuko respond very quick when we have questions and gave us a good information(Restaurants and wineries). Although we suddenly changed our check-in time, she provided us rooms earlier than check-in time. Overall this B&B is very comfortable to stay,(very clean, very convenience location from downtown and beach, delicious breakfast) We highly recommend to stay this place.
Room was hot even using air conditioner and air conditioner is loud. I can't open the window so I fell a bit stuffy. It is close to highway so can hear noise. bathroom ceiling(sink area) is a bit low so if a tall person, might reach his head.
Dear Kaori, Thank you for taking your time to leave us a review. We appreciate both of your positive and negative feedback. We are happy to hear that you enjoy your stay overall.

Verified reviewExtremely clean and comfortable accommodation - the king size bed was the most comfortable I've slept in in Canada. Everything needed was provided with lots of little extra touches. The location was close to three downtown but tucked away in a quiet location. The hosts were welcoming and provided a delicious breakfast.

Verified reviewSpacious and beautiful home with many comfortable common areas; owners are lovely and accommodating people. In a good location for Kelowna. Decent breakfast.
I generally enjoyed my stay, but there are a few things guests might want to know about: 1) Although air conditioning is listed as a feature, there is no air conditioning in the rooms themselves. While there is a portable air conditioner in the main (common) area, I'm not sure how effective this would be during really warm weather, especially if you wanted to keep the door to your room shut. This was not an issue during my stay as the weather was unseasonably cool for late June, but if the weather was warmer it would have been disappointing to not have in-room AC, especially because two of the bedrooms are on the top floor and presumably get warm. 2) You cannot lock your bedroom door from the outside - so when you are not in your room, there is no security for your valuables. 3) The room itself is fairly small, and the door to the ensuite bathroom is a barn door that leaves a bit of a gap between it and the wall. I stayed alone, but this is not ideal if you are staying with a partner.
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking time to leave us a review. We appreciate your comments. It was our pleasure to have you stay with us. Although we do recognize that upstairs can be quite warm in Kelowna's hot weather, the AC we have on upper level 12,000BTU FLOOR CONSOLE professionally installed (not potable) as well as ceiling fans in bedrooms and we do have a central AC in main floor as well. However we do appreciate your concern and we will take it seriously to find a better way to make all our guests comfortable. We hope to welcome you again one day in near future. Thank you. Mitsuko&Norm
