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):
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.
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.).

United KingdomA friendly welcoming host who offered a different cooked breakfast option each day all of which were healthy and nutritious. We had access to a shared kitchen with tea and coffee provided and a relaxed seating area and garden. Within easy walking distance to Pacific Spirit Park and lots of information provided about local attractions and transport links. The quiet hours suited us.

New ZealandThe room is in the basement (which has a window), but the walls in the bedroom and bathroom are painted in quite dark colours - the room and ensuite would feel much brighter if painted in lighter colours.
Quiet location just a couple of blocks from shops, cafes and restaurants on Dunbar. Comfortable bed and nice linen/duvet/towels. Host is very friendly and cheerful.

PolandWe greatly appreciated the excellent breakfasts served by the land lady. She's a wonderful woman who helped us with some good ideas of what to see around the city. The whole backyard was available for us. Very friendly and calm neighbourhood, away from main roads, but short, 5 min. walking distance from the public transportation. Our bed linen was replaced and room cleaned half way through our stay, just after 4 days or so. We highly recommend the House on Dunbar 🥰

CanadaWhen we arrived, the bathroom sink was dirty and had hair in it. The unit is in the basement, which I don't recall seeing listed on the Booking.com site. The basement smelled musty and damp. We were able to open a window in our unit but it took a whole day for that smell to disappear. There is black mould on the bathroom tiles. The room was cramped and the bed was average. It would have been nice to be offered to eat breakfast outside in the fresh open air rather than the musty basement kitchen. Compared to what we payed for a beautiful room in Tofino, this room is overpriced, but hey, that's Vancouver for you!
Host is friendly and accommodated our dietary requests. The neighbourhood is lovely. The backyard space was nice, although we didn't use it. It would have been nice to have the breakfasts outside.

United StatesThe location is in a residential section with nothing much in walking distance, the bus stop is several blocks away, you really need a car. The room is small and crowded, it was not clean to our standards, we asked the owner to clean it again and she did. We stayed in a second floor room and we had to walk through the private residence where the owner often was sitting, and her bedroom was next to ours, lack of privacy. It was awkward and unlike our other experiences at B & B's or Airbnb's. The front steps are treacherous and my spouse, a builder, said they would not comply with most building codes. At breakfast you have to sit on these hard cold ceramic stools, quite uncomfortable. Other guests we talked to felt the same.
The hot breakfast was pretty good. The bed was comfortable. The bathroom was spacious

United StatesThis place is basically someone's normal house that is rented out to multiple guests and not much of an official B&B. You can hear everyone and everything. The cleanliness could have improved by a lot: visible stains on bed sheets and pillowcases, dust and spider webs in the room. We had a safe and ok stay overall but it definitely was not meeting our expectations especially given the price.
The location was nice and quiet. Socializing with other guests over breakfast was interesting and Joanne is a nice and respectful host. Enjoyable backyard.
