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 reviewI love The Holiday House not because it's a luxurious place to stay, but because it's exactly what it says on the box. A cheap, clean place to stay that's really close to the beach. The kitchen works, the bathroom works, the AC works, the beds are comfortable. No frills.
Things looked a little worse for wear: Paint peeling, no fan in the bathroom, the front door looked like it had been kicked a million times. The bathroom is kind of dated and had very little counter space.

Verified reviewNothing.. the lady working the was so rude and the room stank so bad. There were a bunch of people fighting and yelling all night. I was terrified.
I didn’t like the rooms, the staff and I didn’t like paying 300 for a night in a dirty, unsafe room.

Verified reviewThe room was very very clean, every surface, even every corner of the bathroom. I was pleasantly surprised. In the room there were: fridge, microwave, TV; In the bathroom there were also extra towels and the necessary for washing, as well as a hairdryer. The location of the property is perfect because you can walk to Skaha lake.

Verified reviewThe manager is efficient, intelligent and kind. It’s an old property. Hanging in. But it is cheap and clean … go elsewhere if you want to
Last of its kind. Penticton will soon be unaffordable. If it isn’t already.

Verified reviewThe person who checked us in and was taking care of cleaning was so friendly and pleasant, and was the highlight of our stay. The bed was comfy, and the room was a 4/5 clean.
I did find a toenail on the floor, and the shower was difficult to get going. The hanging space was also challenging to hang a dress since the microwave was right under it.

Verified reviewThe women in the office who we dealt with was so friendly and inviting and very accommodating. Check in time is 4 pm but she allowed us to check in at 1030. The room was clean and the bed was super comfy. We will definitely stay here again.
