How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewIt was a nice, clean hotel with comfortable beds and pillows. Good water pressure.
Front end staff were awesome upon arrival, but seemed annoyed at any requests for food or towels for the remainder of our stay (2 nights) Food was nothing to be desired, when it was actually available. There was a small space of time to eat, and the following night, there were no food options available on site. The walls were very thin. We will look for other options for accommodation next time we are in town.

Verified reviewLovely set on the water, quiet and peaceful. The top room feels like being tucked in a cozy cabin on a cruise ship, with balcony, views, light. Perfect. Hotel staff and manager were helpful and made my stay memorable. Thank you
The restaurant area iis convenient (and food was good) but could probably benefit from slightly better arrangement to make it more inviting. The outdoor area is great though

Verified reviewUnique experience in remote Alert Bay, with an interesting and entertaining gardener, chef and proprietor who shared her local knowledge with candour. She made our visit all the more meaningful.

Verified reviewThis was a great place to stay, the ocean views were incredible. Location was fantastic. You can walk all the way across the island and get a bite at one of the few restaurants or coffee shop.
The room was small and cozy. It's definitely an old original building. If you didn't know that going in.

Verified reviewFrom the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome , treated more like returning friends than new acquaintances. A stunning location . We had the quadruple room as we were travelling as a mother daughter combo A super comfy large clean room with 2 distinct sleeping areas and spectacular views . Will, one half of the owner duo was really friendly and helpful . Tina who takes care of housekeeping and is also a constant in the restaurant is a lovely young woman - efficient and friendly always helpful and with a ready laugh and smile . All 3 of the meals that we ate in the restaurant were very tasty- not a huge menu but perfectly adequate and they were happy to adapt for plant based preferences . We started by booking 1 night, then read about the island and extended to 2 . We loved the island and the hotel so much we then extended to 3 . Highly recommended
The absolutely only thing that could be improved on was the breakfast - a bigger choice of yoghurt to include plain , some berries and some nuts/seeds/ granola . A plant based yoghurt option maybe and definitely plant based milk .

Verified reviewThe breakfast room on the water had lovely views. Pillows and bed were comfortable
Continental breakfast was limited. Heavy focus on toast. Some instant oatmeal and granola would have been appreciated and recommend supporting local roasters for coffee over the American Costco Kirkland brand.

Verified reviewThe breakfast seemed rather weak. Maybe some cereal added to the menu and fresh croissants or bagels and cheeses.. More fresh fruit or maybe a fruit salad. There were no knives and no one at the desk to ask.
No headboard on our bed. Room.1
