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.).

Every little thing you could think of or want and more was there. Hands down the best place we have ever stayed in. Monty and Brenda gave us a warm welcome and showed us around the home. It was fabulous. Lovely touches like nice bathroom products, the hairstyling items (mine wouldn’t work !). The welcome items in the fridge. The lovely card as it was my birthday. Could not fault it.

CanadaNothing to mention!
I’d read all the reviews before booking and they were all 100 correct. We stayed for 7 nights and had an amazing time. The suite itself was perfect - a kitchen with microwave, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer. The living room had very comfy reclining couches which were so relaxing after a long day of exploring. The view was incredible overlooking the water and the location was perfectly situated for exploring all over the island. It was immaculately clean and the hosts had thought of every need including blankets on the chairs outside to relax with. The hosts themselves were amazing. They left us breakfast items in the fridge which was very much appreciated as we arrived late in the evening and hadn’t had a chance to grocery shop yet. Monty came to greet us the next morning offering us his tips on where to visit and places to see including a printed list of restaurants and breweries. He also sent us google map itineraries with routes and suggested stops along the way. They even came and did a midweek clean and linen/towel change for us. It was truly an amazing place - the island and the suite - we will definitely be back and are so thankful to have been able to stay in the most perfect place.

CanadaMonty and Brenda are amazing hosts! They went above and beyond our expectations. The amenities in their apartment, from the kitchen to the outdoor patio with the million dollars view, are phenomenal! Everything was thought so that guests have a delightful stay. They even offer to do a quick clean-up and fresh linens a couple of times throughout our stay since we were there for over a week! The breakfast fixings with the homemade jams and jellies were a bonus that we appreciated a lot. Monty and Brenda really care that their guests have a wonderful experience on Vancouver Island and provided us with many great things and adventures to do in the area. They are very knowledgeable of the area and do not hesitate to ask them any questions, I am sure they will have an answer for you. Thanks again!

Our hosts were very accommodating, and even left us fresh granola, yogurts, juice, milk, water, and even some butter for our toast! The suite was gorgeous, high ceilings, a lovely polished concrete floor with radiant heat, providing a cozy environment. Not to mention the massage chairs you can enjoy while watching some televison. Truly a luxurious experience, 1000/10!

I don’t know where to start but we had the perfect stay at Brenda’s & Monty’s home! First of all - the view is spectacular and a good reason to wake up for sunset l. The location is quiet and by car there are many shops and restaurants nearby. The apartment itself is well equipped, spacious and very clean. The bed was comfy and we had a good rest. But the hosts are what makes it special. Monty provided many recommendations for hikes and our itinerary. Couldn’t ask for more and we will definitely come back. Thanks for having us :)

LithuaniaThe place is amazing! I usually don't leave reviews unless it's a crazy bad OR super good experience. So, it is that good. Everything is exceptional: the place, how clean and quiet it is, the location, the kitchen and how well-equipped it is, the bedroom with a view and a comfortable bed, the living room with recliners (my husband's favorite spot to chill), AND the hosts! The most caring hosts you can meet. We felt very welcomed and were sad to leave. They also provided breakfast and all the best recommendations for the island. I don't think there is a better place to stay on Vancouver Island for a couple. The place is located quite centrally on the island, so everything is close if you travel by car.

CanadaThe location was very wonderful. The accommodation is separate from the main residence and has its own entrance. The views from the patio/entrance overlooking the water is to die for with beautiful sunsets. Even the bedroom overlooks the water and the dining space has good views. Monty was a very thoughtful host and provided extensive recommendations for places to visit and to eat in. The king size bed in the bedroom was very comfortable. The accommodation is very clean and full of amenities including a dishwasher and washer/dryer. Breakfast is available and is well worth the money. Highly recommended. I definitely plan to return in the future.

CanadaNothing at all!
First of all - that view was next level!!! My jaw dropped as soon as I arrived. Aside from that, the suite was perfection - it was so spacious, bright & clean. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were so soft. They had all the amenities I needed. The hosts were so kind leaving little pastries, yogurt, juice and fruit out for me. I travel for work a lot and these little touches go such a long way. I don't always have time to stop and grab things on my way in, so it really shows the care and attention of the hosts. The owners were communicative and the check in was simple (just a key in a lock box) so I didn't have to worry about my arrival timing. I will 100% be rebooking this place anytime I have work in the area.... I wish I could have stayed even longer, I'm going to book an extra night the next time I'm in town. This place is a dream!!! Look no further if you're on the hunt for somewhere to stay. 10s across the board!!!

CanadaOverall, Brenda and Monty were fantastic. They were extremely welcoming and accommodating! They even left some food in the fridge as we were arriving later in the day. The property itself was extremely clean, and the view of the Sunshine Coast was stunning. Such a beautiful way to wake up and end the day. The property is very close to grocery stores for any necessities, and only about 30 minutes from Cameron lake and Macmillan Park. There is just about everything you need, from all kitchen utensils and appliances, to reclining sofas and a big comfy bed. After a roadtrip/camping week, it was the perfect way to end our island adventure. We will definitely be returning if we find ourselves near Nanaimo again!
