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.).

AustraliaLiked everything. And we rarely write reviews.
Wonderful house in a perfect spot. Short stroll to Commercial Drive which is full of fabulous places to eat and drink. Not far from the Subway to take you Downtown. And bring you 'home' to your little piece of Vancouver paradise. 'Molly's Room' was beautifully set up. Big comfy bed and pillows. Even Netflix. Took our breath away when we first opened the door. And with a bathroom, complete with chandelier, endless hot water, and gorgeous feature tiles. Watched the sun set from the front balcony. Great value. Do yourselves a favour.

United KingdomTrying to use a laptop without a small table to lay it on proved interesting. Some in the neighbouring rooms didn't understand the information about noise levels.
The introductory e-mail told us all we needed to know to gain access and feel comfortable in our well-appointed room. The owners were incredibly helpful and friendly. We had all we needed and were sufficiently close to Downtown Vancouver to make it a good base from which those who are active can explore the city. The property is interesting and the business model is well-worked.

We stayed in "The Retreat" suite for a week in August and it was phenomenal. I picked this suite in particular because I was traveling with my elderly mother and there were fewer stairs needed to get in and out of the suite compared to other rooms in the home. We loved the beautiful garden in the back of the house. The neighborhood has many excellent restaurants in walking distance. We never had an issue finding street parking. The suite itself was SPOTLESS and incredibly comfortable. Everything we could need was provided, and I particularly liked the fact that The Retreat had a washer/dryer. I really appreciated the fact that a lot of the products they used (e.g. soaps, coffee etc.) were from local companies. Margit was truly the most amazing host. She made us feel so welcomed from the moment we arrived and gave us great pearls of information about the area. She was always available if we had a question or needed help, and we always felt so well taken care of during our week long stay. Thank you, Margit!

As soon as we arrived we felt as if we had arrived at our families home, extremely welcoming host. The room was set up lovely, with a complimentary bottle of wine. On street parking was easy and 15 mins into the city car park (all day parking £5) - You could walk to Commercial Street for many options for dinner. Would 100% book again here.

The Ivy is a real gem! Spotlessly clean, beautifully furnished and cosy. Fantastic location on a safe, quiet residential street, 2 mins walk from "The Drive" where there are several fantastic cafes, bars and restaurants. 15 min uber into downtown Vanxouver and port. Tram 10 mins walk away. Complimentary wine in the room a lovely gesture.
