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.).

United StatesThe place is a bit dated - but still fully sufficient! The breakfast could be a bit of a madhouse and didn't have many healthy options or protein. Always a line to get a coffee as there is only one machine and no brewed coffee.
The staff was super friendly and helpful! Room was clean & well stocked. Large community room was great for games/cards/etc.

CanadaEverything looks clean and orderly, but every time we were in our room, most of us have this allergy like symptoms which very unusual. Started on second day, when myself and my husband had the same kind of condition , then on the third day 5 of us feeling sick with runny nose and headache - thinking it could be because of our whole day walk outside. But thing was worst during the night. It also might be because of the smell of room/carpet??? Upon return home, most of us felt much relieved just my husband and nephew not so well.
Staff at reception are very helpful and friendly. Same as the kitchen staff- always clean. Breakfast room is always full of healthy choice of food.

CanadaThe location is not super central but it’s not like they are hiding the location. If you know Victoria and you can read a map, you’ll know you aren’t staying right downtown. It was a 9 minute drive to the harbour front.

CanadaCleaning is only done every 3 days, including garbage pickup, and sheets are changed only every 7 days, which is not enough. Breakfast is very small and should be described as ‘snacks included’ rather than breakfast, though the all-day coffee machine is a nice bonus. We heard the hotel recently changed ownership and amenities seem reduced. The AC is extremely noisy and would make sleeping difficult in hot weather, though we were lucky to avoid using it. Using any two appliances at once (AC, hair dryer, or in-suite coffee machine) trips the power, and there was no notice about this.
All the staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The room was dark and quiet, perfect for sleeping, and everything was clean, including the bathroom. I especially appreciated the free e-bike rental since the hotel’s location right on the Galloping Goose Trail. It is perfect for cycling enthusiasts — the trail stretches 55 km from Victoria to Sooke. Victoria’s downtown cycling infrastructure is excellent as well, so next time we visit, we plan to rent e-bikes for longer rides.

United StatesBreakfast. Cereal, toast, pancakes, apples, frozen berries, yogurt and quick oatmeal. It was very basic and could have been upgraded to egg bites or mini omelets like other chains offer.
The hotel is old however the rooms have been upgraded, I.e. new carpet, furniture, bathrooms. The kitchenette had everything we needed.
