Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

CanadaOnly four parking places, so chance of getting a parking space is almost nil. You’ll need to park at least 100 meters away from the hotel on public road. Dining area has flies issue. There is fly zapper but not enough to mitigate the issue. Washroom is shared. Ran out of hand soap, yet staff did not refill even after request. Breakfast had boiled eggs on Sunday morning but none on Monday morning. My room was advertised as insuite bathroom. In reality there is a shower with no privacy inside the room with an adjacent sink. There is no toilet in the insuite bathroom. Only two starving pillows are provided on the bed for two people. Which is not enough for a comfortable night’s sleep. There are no air conditioners in the rooms. A very small fan is provided which is simply not enough to cool the room during hot summer days. I couldn’t have slept at night if I didn’t have my own fan.
Nice view from balcony. Relatively better priced compared to other hotels in the area. Short drive to Tadussac and some other picturesque places. Front desk attendant was helpful.

CanadaThe soundproofing is so bad. The wall is super thin, and you can hear the conversation clearly from the room beside you at midnight. This isn't the right choice if you're sensitive to noise during sleep.
Breakfast was good, with a stunning view.

Italythe rooms were hot. The window could not be opened and the air conditioning was only in the corridor I had un unpleasant encounter with a drunken guest who followed me into the bathrooms where luckily there was a lady and so he went away The bathrooms are mixed and insufficient for the number of beds The access door would have a digital key but everyone leaves it open so anyone can enter Music from the pub can be heard It could be more clean

CanadaThere was a huge bad smell as soon as you get in the place… the dog peeded on the balcony in front of people which mean the owner doesnt take care properly of them. They were running out of water as well… the kitchen closed very early without being told at the check in but thankfully the guy in the kitchen let us order few things on the menu.
The room was clean, the view was beautiful. Loved their laundry soap

Luxembourgthe beautiful tables with the great view on the bay are not actually for the guests, only for the resto/bar so you can’t sit there unless you buy something, which is very unclear from the photos and the advertisement. the kitchen is very small for the amount of guests and it was the only common space available during our stay- so no place to relax except for your room and the kitchen from which you don’t have the same view. On the last day we were surprised to find that breakfast which is included in the price was not being provided because of the little amount of guests in the hostel, which was not communicated to us at all (and are we expected to count the people in the hostel?), however the staff did open the breakfast and made us coffee after we called :) the kitchen and common spaces could have cleaned more often, the towels in the kitchen were dirty, but within the acceptable limits for a shared kitchen in a hostel. it was a bit cold in the rooms despite extra blankets, and no possibility to regulate the temperature yourself.
the location is beautiful, overlooking the bay. the cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms was impeccable! there is a dog in the hostel that you can pet and take for walks which was lovely. and the staff is trying to make your stay as comfortable as possible and is very responsive to any requests and questions.
