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.).

CanadaThere is no breakfast on offer at the hotel, but there is an attached restaurant.
Nice sized room on the 3rd floor. Quiet air-conditioner. There is a very comfortable easy chair to relax in as well as an office chair and desk. Our room had two sinks. One in the bathroom and one in the main area. The mini fridge ran quietly as well. Also, housekeeping did a quick refresh every day. Everything was kept clean and tidy. Lots of on-site parking and an underground parkade as well. We were visiting relatives in town and the location of this hotel works for us for a convenient location.

CanadaIf they are hosting events in the ballroom, it can affect your ability to sleep. I hope they don’t host noisy events till midnight in the future.
Great value. Not the best area as far as wandering, locals, but as long as you park underground, it is good and secure, and a great value.

CanadaThere was hardly any hot water and you had to run it forever for it to start to warm up.
I liked the Breakfast, but was only given one food voucher per day. Not sure but me and my son used them both for one day. Had to eat out the second day. The beds were comfortable as well.

CanadaI didn’t like that Booking.com advertises a pool in the hotel but there’s no pool! Very disappointed when we showed up to no pool!
I liked that the hotel upgraded our room free of charge because Booking.com is falsely advertising a pool at this hotel.

United StatesThe card keys kept failing. It happened every single day. We would be trying to open the door several times but failed. We then had to go back to the front desk for a new card that was tedious!
The breakfast was good my only complaint I just did not know you have to ask for banana out they bring bananas out in staggered basis but that's okay they gave me when I asked. The location was the most favorable closest proximity to Keyano College. We attended the convocation where my niece awarded Valedictorian of the grad class 2023 so that was good just a short walking distance

CanadaI stay here whenever I am in Fort McMurray. I was really disappointed when I went down for breakfast that they were no longer offering breakfast. They told me it was due to supply shortages due to the wildfires so I was okay with that. The lady who helped when I checked out told me that it was because the restaurant contract had changed. So, i was a little frustrated that I had been given 2 different reasons and that I had still been charged the same rate. If breakfast is no longer offered, then I suppose I need to look for a different place.
