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.).

IrelandAC was a little noisy but cooled the room and then turned it off. Nothing to do with the hotel but the town was very quiet and it seems just the one restaurant/pub was open but it was very nice.
Great staff, lovely welcome and very helpful. Room was everything you need for a short stay.

CanadaBathroom definitely needed an upgrade. Taps difficult to use. No hot water. Very worn around tub. No place to put your toiletries . Heard every noise of people above and beside us. We were on ground floor. People walking by outside were very close to our window so we had to close our curtains at all times

CanadaThe smell of cleaning products was a bit overwhelming upon arrival. The room was very clean, but needed to be aired out with open windows for a few minutes…after that it was fine.
Location was excellent. The communication was very good. Beds were comfy, the decor and finishings are a little dated, but everything worked and was clean. Very quiet. I would stay there again if in the area.

CanadaThe hotel itself is very dated, but you can see where the current owners/operators are doing their best to raise the standard. I hope they make this work, they are really giving it a good effort... hats off to them!
Great staff - working hard to make this place a viable business. Really nice location across the road from the walkway along the harbour - close walk to some restaurants and bars.

CanadaThe kitchenette could have had more dishes and utensils. Air conditioning was set to 17C when we arrived, so the rooms were cold.
We had two decent sized rooms beside each other for a family trip. Rooms were clean. One had a kitchenette with a stove, and one just had a microwave. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Nice location and good value for money.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. When he saw that we both walk with canes, he changed our room to the ground floor without us requesting it. He offered free pop and water, 24/7.

NetherlandsThe size of the room was very good, spacious. Walking distance from Cowichan Bay restaurants and downtown. The kind gentleman at the front desk offered ideas of what to do in the area. We could take water and soda from the fridge in the reception area. At the moment there are renovations going on however there was no disturbance from these renovations. Would love to see the end product 😁

CanadaWe had the most amazing stay at this charming seaside motel in Cowichan Bay! From the moment we arrived, Sahil and Michael went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. Their warmth and hospitality really made a difference and added a personal touch you don’t often get these days. The location is absolutely perfect - the motel is right by the beach, so we could literally walk out and enjoy peaceful walks along the shore or just sit and soak in the views. Watching the sunset here was magical - golden skies reflecting off the water, pure tranquility. The rooms were spotless, cozy, and had everything we needed. The views from the room were incredible - waking up to that ocean view was something special. It was also such a thoughtful touch that they provided water bottles and pops in the room. Parking was super convenient too, right next to the room. One of the highlights of our trip was river tubing in Lake Cowichan, which was just a scenic 30-minute drive away. Plus, grocery stores and great local restaurants were just 5- 10 minutes from the motel, so everything we needed was within easy reach. All in all, this place was the perfect balance of comfort, convenience, and natural beauty. Huge thanks again to Sahil and Michael - we’ll definitely be back!
