Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

CanadaThe room didn't have an AC even though the listing said the room had AC. The traffic noise with the sliding glass door open was loud.
Beds were comfortable. The soundproofing was pretty decent. When we arrived the owners offered us drinks. They were very friendly and welcoming. Lots of nice flowers. Good for cyclists.

CanadaI think what we didn't like is our room has no table atleast a small one. the pillows is too soft.and I think a little bit pricey.I think the reception area needs a bit of cleaning and presentable.
what we've like is first the location is perfect even its a little bit noisy because along the highway.second thing, the view is along the sea harbor and a beautiful park down the road that you can swim and paddle board, small town but you will find what you need. The receptionist is super friendly and she clean the room everyday.

CanadaThe tip function when paying for your stay. Why would we tip when we only arrived a few minutes ago and haven't even been to the room? I was shocked by this.
The room was adequate but decor and furnishings are tired. The price was a bit high considering the season and the next day we were in Victoria for $70 less per night. The owner was very friendly.

Hong KongWhile clean, it is in need of a bit of a refresh as the property is clearly several decades old. Not a major issue,but worth mentioning, I feel. Also, oddly, the taps in the shower were reversed so for the longest time I thought there was no hot water. When I decided to try the other way, voila, hot water!
The location is very nice. It’s located a block down from the main part of town with shopping and restaurants readily accessible. There’s plenty of parking behind the motel. The people who run the motel are very friendly. The bed was comfortable and my room had a large balcony on which I could enjoy the evening.

CanadaThe road was very close and very noisy. Air conditioner also very noisy. There was no guest registration form to fill out which seemed strange so was told she had no information about what I paid. Was unable to get a receipt itemizing the cost of the stay. Told only Booking.com had that.
There was no breakfast. Staff helpful when asked. The view was lovely but the window was too close to the road to leave curtains open.
