Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The "king bed" was two twins put together and, differently from other accommodations where I have stayed with this format, there was a huge gap between the mattresses which wasn't comfortable and it made it feel more like a twin bed than a king. It was hard to bedshare with our toddler as well. Bed headboard was just sitting between the wall and the bed, not attached to anything, so everytime we would lean on it, it would make a loud bang on the wall. Communication of the host with the manager wasn't the best, as they weren't expecting our daughter, there wasn't a towel for her for example (we didn't need it, but just be aware that you might need to request). Nothing major, but it did bother me a bit due to the price of the stay.
Amazing location, easy check-in, great quality of bed linen and towels. Breakfast was good, but don't expect huge variety. Manager is very friendly and welcoming. Very clean linnen and bathroom.

The keypunch lock system was fine — if you knew how to use it and re-lock it once you had used it. The bathroom was a little worn down and the placement of the bath towels near the front door of our suite seemed odd.
The breakfast was good, and the people were accommodating: they let us keep our bags on site to accommodate our use of the shuttle bus. Niagara-on-the-Lake is is lovely town. The house was a short, pleasant walk to the Peller Estates Winery where we had a fabulous lunch.

Breakfast serving time is confined to 9 am for all guests. Sound travels easily between suites and limits privacy.
Walkable to old town NOTL dining and entertainment district. Ample on-site parking in a town where that commodity is limited. Spacious guest room and bath (Oscar Wilde suite). Located in a quiet part of town. Hosts are personable.

The first breakfast was okay, but nothing special, like being home. But the 2nd one had ripe fruits, egg and sausage ' muffins', hot croissants, juice, coffee, granola... We had stayed here before, the present owner we never saw...we missed her conversations and presence.
