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...).

CanadaJust a note letting people know that this is an older place, but our suite was extremely neat and clean.
It was our first time staying at the Buena Vista. It is waterfront with a nice common patio and access directly onto the lovely beach, where you can swim, or walk. We enjoyed the quietness and relaxed atmosphere. It is truly a get away spot! Everyone we came into contact with were very pleasant and our accommodation was very clean. We will definitely stay here again!

CanadaParking was available but very difficult to park as off very busy highway! Bath mat should be replaced as we didn’t use it, grungy. Recommend replacing with non stick strips for safety.
Quick access to the beach. Beautiful location! Very Quiet. Wifi and had Netflix for evening time. 5 min drive from everything!!

United StatesProvided shampoo and soap in plastic tear-open sleeves that were impossible to open with wet hands... would have been better to have fixed pump dispensers in bath/shower. Wifi was a bit slow and room wifi did not work so had to use wifi from another room. Access to parking in the back was very narrow and required great care to avoid hitting car on bushes or building.
The location - right on the water - was beautiful, and the room looked out at the water. The beach was quite rocky but location was near the city beaches that were somewhat better. And it was a short drive to town. The grounds were quite nice. Room was spacious and reasonably well equipped. Proprietor was very friendly and helpful. Comfortable. Mellow.

CanadaGood location. Clean and had good amenities. The weather was great so we lucked out! Great for a couple looking to get away in a quiet setting for a couple of days. We will definitely be back! The cooking was a bonus and could keep snacks and breakfast in the full sized fridge.

CanadaThe manager/owner(?) was rude when we tried to check in an hour early. He simply said no and to return (which in itself was understandable) but his manner was rude and unfriendly. Was a real turnoff so it’s good that the room was nice otherwise I’d have left.
The view of the ocean was spectacular and the grounds/gardens were lovely. The kitchen was well equipped and unit was spotless. Bed was really comfortable. Good overall.

It was very clean and comfortable with kind and happy staff. Met all our needs and then some. Has exceptional view of ocean, and gardens are amazing! There are beautiful lounge areas outside with comfortable chairs to relax in and watch the ocean and all its entertainment. Another benefit is restaurants within walking distance that have awesome food and service!

Beautiful accommodations with everything you need including a full kitchen as well as an outside bbq and sitting area. We had a huge deck looking directly out to the ocean. Great for beachcombing or just chilling taking in the scenery. Would definitely stay here again.

AustraliaWow what a great little motel. It was like staying at your nan's place. Exceptionally clean to the point of immaculate, and wow that view! The furniture was old fashioned but in excellent condition. We watched seals playing at the front and an eagle eating a fish. There was also a kitchenette that was well appointed in terms of functionality and appliances. Great value for money.
