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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

CanadaThe Wellness Centre was amazing. The hotel services were also perfect, and staff were accomodating and did door service for fetching ice and gave us water. The pleasantries of chocolate and macrons with a personal note were a very sweet touch. The BKS was an amazing experience. The room was beautiful bathtub and shower. Also bed was so comfortable. For a couple that isn't new to Halifax this felt like a newfound treat and will make you feel pampered and lovely. Thank you Muir.

CanadaSome staff were quite up tight. We were questioned upon entering the property as to why we were there and how they could help us. In other words, you really don’t belong here. We had been there for two days. 90 minute wait to check in without any real explanation other than they were full. So was every other hotel in the area. House keeping staff were awesome.
The rooms are amazing and comfortable.

CanadaUpon arrival staff were so fast to take car and luggage that we went without belongings such as sunglasses and odd and ends that we didn’t have time to get-but wished we had. So maybe give clients more time and less swarming. Also nOise in hallway at 5:30 am of dishes clattering. Perhaps wait for picking up room service if that was the case. Finally. I taught an online yoga class from the yoga studio and to prevent noise from staff opening and closing the service door for water and and towels I placed a yoga block to keep the door slightly ajar and staff movement noiseless. Staff however, said that was not possible. And closed the door then made noisy click every 10 min with the door. It surprised and disappointed me that staff could not make that exception for 30 minutes to reduce noise from the movement. The location of water and towels replacement limits the usefulness of a tranquil yoga space
Gréât location, excellent beds, nice gym sauna pool facility.

United StatesWas a busy Saturday with rambunctious kids in the pool - even outside of the "family time" there were kids under age 16. It isn't pleasant to police people, but if you promise adult-only time in the wellness center, you should politely deliver.
The facilities were beautiful, but it's the staff that deserve honorable mention. Welcoming but not intrusive. When we came down for breakfast the day we were leaving they went above and beyond to get our car, and even bring our luggage there while we ate. Also they expedited breakfast so we were under no pressure to get to the airport for our flight.

CanadaThe Muir is hands down the best place to relax. If the views of the Hotel are not stunning enough, visit the 2nd floor and enjoy an outstanding wellness centre, gallery and gym. The Muir has brought a touch of class to Halifax.
