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.).

CanadaNeeds a bit of love ... some painting, shower fawcett is old and really hard to turn (for old woman's hand!) Bath tub drain filter was missing.
Perfect location. There is a little coffee shop 2 min. walk with awesome breakfast. The hotel has underground parking and a few spots beside the building.Good wifi. Our room with 2 king beds was really big. Comfy beds! Not a fancy place but allows for a good night of sleep. Elevator to 2nd and 3rd floor

CanadaWe came at 215pm and tried to check in early, but we were told it wasn't ready yet and wait until 3 p.m., and it was okay. So, we came back at 3 pm, and they handed us the key card for 2 rooms. 1 room was okay, but the 2nd wasn't done with the cleaning yet. So we came back to complain and they gave us a new room. But the room was just as bad, flash wasn't working properly, and water kept dripping for the whole night. Not to mention, no fridge/cooler, hair blower wasn't working. We have an 8 month old baby who wasn't able to sleep properly because of the noise of the water continuously dripping from the washroom. It was a terrible experience in our 2nd room.
We booked two rooms. 1 room was okay, and the other one was bad.

CanadaSadly, the property beside this property has been bought for a homeless shelter so as soon as you would go out on your balcony, you'd see people smoking crack and smoking, meth and just mayhem, and we like to go on our patio in the mornings and we were met with that constantly so it's in a terrible locationand I feel really bad for the property owners cause they do not deserve their investment to be turned into that kind of a neighbourhood
It was off the beaten path, but close to the downtown core

United StatesOut flight out of Victoria was canceled last minute and we had to scramble for a hotel. This was the last room available on the island as far as we could tell. We were thankful that it was located in the city, was reasonably priced and clean. We got in around 10pm and checked out around 7am, so it was a very short stay. Just glad to have had a real bed to sleep in.
