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 reviewThe location is great, walking distance from the river front, major landmarks, and right at the C-Train stop. We were upgraded to a better room at no additional cost, which we appreciated.
Although the room windows do block out some noise, the hotel's location still means that there's still a lot of city sounds coming through (the train, sirens, cars, and when we were there a major construction was happening right at the street). Something to consider for light sleepers.

Verified reviewGreat location and price, staff was really friendly. Beds were adequate, not the most comfortable but still satisfactory. Location is walking distance from a lot of great places to eat, drink and visit.
The showers weren't great, kind of a small washroom/shower area. I wouldn't complain but if I had to pick one thing I didn't like quite as much.

Verified reviewI booked this accommodation for my young daughter who has moved to Calgary from Australia. The staff were incredibly helpful and accommodated her extremely well. She felt completely safe, welcomed and she couldn't have wanted anything more. All of this of course is relief to a parent on the other side of the world. Unfortunately we don't come from a 'tipping' culture and so we probably dropped the ball on not rewarding the staff financially. Anyone that is looking for accommodation I can tell you that Sandman were excellent.
Nothing.

Verified reviewN/A
Waited half an hour just to check in, even though there were only 3 people ahead of me. It was a Saturday, so I didn't think too much of it. The AC in the room was terrible, barely a breeze even though it was on the highest setting, and not cold air at all. Unfortunately, i did not realize this until around midnight when I was trying to sleep. Couldn't stay asleep because it was so uncomfortable in the room. Ended up leaving b4 8am. Reception said they would comp my parking (woo $6) after bringing the inoperable ac to their attention. The Monday after, I noticed multiple charges on my card from the sandman. I called and spoke to the manager who told me it's due to smoking in the room, which we did not. He said he would look into it but did not give me much hope it the matter and basically told me there's nothing i can do about this false accusation. I called and left a message with the General manager the next day, the manager called me back 20 min later saying they had picture evidence of smoking damage, im still waiting on a copy of that and cleaning costs to be sent to me. I am not letting this go. I work hard for my money. And here's the thing, i treat myself once a year by coming to calgary and getting tickets for a show. I could not afford to stay two nights so I got the one. I already have a problem paying over 300 for a 1 night stay, but like I said it's a treat for myself. The fact that they are now forcing me to pay $250 on top of that for something I didn't do?? NO! I'm calling it for what it is complete theft.
