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.).

CanadaNothing, it was a great place.
Excellent location! Steps to the public beach across the road. LCBO, two restaurants, an arcade/restaurant/bar, ice cream store, general store are all within a minute walk away. You couldn't ask for a better location for a fun beach weekend. Well equipped suite has everything you need, just hope on your motorcycle or car and go. The owner is very nice and very accommodating. The resort is well maintained and above expectations.

CanadaI enjoyed my stay! It felt very “neighborly”, as everyone who came and went chatted with each other and sat together to enjoy the amazing view of the water, and to enjoy the Thursday evening live music on the beach!! I believe this speaks to the kind of atmosphere the owner himself creates for his guests.

CanadaNo complaints. The only recommendation I would make has nothing to do with the property - I would recommend you bring water shoes for the beach but this did not deter our enjoyment.
We had a fabulous beach vacation here! We had an efficiency unit with a little kitchen and with everything we needed for our stay. We liked the little fold out table and chairs in the kitchen,perfect for breakfast. The room was very clean with modern decor and design sense. The location was perfect and we loved being steps away from the beach and it felt very much like a resort. We also enjoyed walking to the nearby bar/restaurant and the little shop with ice cream and LCBO. Tiny is a small beach town that reminded us of bygone Beach towns and we preferred it to the crowds and bustle of nearby Wasaga Beach. You could easily spend your whole time here without driving anywhere. There were a number of bbqs on the premises which were spread out and we enjoyed a bbq most days we were there. We also used the firepit which Mike outfitted for us when we wanted. Mike was great - both helpful and friendly with anything we needed. This is a special place and we would love to come back.

The location was amazing. The room was perfect. Nice and clean plenty of space for us. The grounds were immaculate. The bbq area was private, lots of seating areas on the property to enjoy. We enjoyed a nice fire around the firepit area. You can tell the owner, Mark takes great pride in taking care of the grounds

CanadaNothing.
The resort was spectacularly located across the street from the beach. Our room was immaculate. The small kitchen was perfect for doing our meals as we travelled with 2 small kids. Though the room was small when we had the double pull out setup it was very comfortable and perfect for us. We had a perfect hot, end of summer beach day enjoying the sand and water. And on other days we took advantage to the great location close to lots of fun adventures (hiking at Wye Marsh, St Marie Among the Hurons, Midland etc). It was the perfect end of summer get away (Labour Day weekend). I hope to return for many more years and wonderful memories.

CanadaSome people seemed to really enjoy their stay here, it just wasn't my kind of place. I thought the rooms would be a bit more spacious. The shower knob was installed in an odd way (sort of bashed in), and the furnishings were basic. I am not a fan of dark sheets on a motel bed - everything should be bleachable; these were not. The parking was tight - narrow and full - but we were able to squeeze in each night. I couldn't find any extra sheets for the sofa bed, which wasn't your typical pull-out, so we didn't use it. No cleaning service until you leave.
Cute look and feel to the motel. Great proximity to the beach. Pet friendly was a real bonus (extra charge). In the heart of the action at Balm Beach.

CanadaThe room we were in was very dated and really needed some updating. The room looked very clean but there was a strong mildew smell like a damp basement. It got better the second day having the air conditioning on. The bathroom was functional.
The location was fantastic! Steps from the beach and restaurants. There was a general store and beach store all just steps from the motel. We didn’t need to use the car at all the entire time! The property was well kept and very spacious offering a couple of different seating areas as well as a fire pit. The room itself was very spacious with a well stocked kitchenette. Perfect if you were staying for a week or more. There was a full size coffeemaker included. The owner, Mark, was super accommodating and very friendly.

CanadaI recently stayed at this hotel and unfortunately, I had a less than satisfactory experience. Upon arrival at night, I was disappointed to find that my room was not clean and there were only four bottles of water provided. The tap water had an extremely salty taste, making it unfit for basic tasks like brushing teeth. Furthermore, there was no hairdryer in the room, so it's advisable to bring your own if you plan to take a shower. The bed in the room was uncomfortable, and to add to the discomfort, the refrigerator emitted a loud noise, making it difficult to sleep peacefully. The lack of attention to these details affected the overall quality of my stay. To make matters worse, I found the gentleman at the reception to be unresponsive and occasionally behaving in a strange manner. This lack of professionalism further detracted from the overall experience. I hope the hotel management takes note of these issues and takes steps to improve their cleanliness standards, amenities, and guest services. It is important for them to address these shortcomings in order to provide a more enjoyable stay for their guests.
The property adjacent to the beach is exceptionally beautiful, boasting stunning views. There are well-maintained trails that allow you to immerse yourself in the tranquil blend of the lake and forest. During your stay, you can take a refreshing swim in the lake and in the evenings, indulge in the property's inviting fire pit.
