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.).

New ZealandOur only complaint is the breakfast is served on very flimsy paper plates and paper cups which we're finding seems to happen regularly in Canada. This is new to us as we're from New Zealand and we never do this there. It astounds us as it's all going into landfill. Surely it's not that hard to wash a few nice breakfast plates and cups and save the environment from more landfill? This is more an observation though, rather than a complaint. The hotel is lovely.
We loved staying here - it has a beautiful view of the lake and the room was lovely, very clean and the bed very comfortable. The staff were nice too.

CanadaBeautiful location and view. Staff was very friendly answered all our questions and made sure we had a great visit. The lodge is such a wonderful addition where my kids (8,11) loved playing chess and the breakfast was an extra surprise. Just waffles toast and muffins cereal and tea and juice but it was enough to fuel us until lunch. The room was a little tight and bathroom was even tighter but we didn’t spend much time inside and the outdoor space and lodge makes up for it. We wish we would’ve had more time to stay there and I am sure we will be back in the future

CanadaCouldn't find ice. A little pricey, but accomodations can be difficult to find during the tourist season so we were quite happy to pay the rate in exchange for the amazing roads and stunning location.
The location was wonderful with all rooms looking out to the lake. Each room had a balcony to enjoy the view. Beautiful golf course next door. Staff was utterly amazing, and bent over backwards to help us with an issue that had nothing to do with the resort. There is a Hot Tub on site, but unfortunately we never found time to enjoy it what with nearby hot springs in Ainsworth & Nakusp.

United KingdomBreakfast was very poor - no real effort made to entice you back. Toast (one kind only), juice, an apple and coffee just doesn't 'cut it' these days and it would take no effort to add some cheese, cold meats and yogurt, if it is not possible to offer a cooked breakfast.
Very good room - clean and comfortable. Great view from the room.

CanadaThe room was advertised as lake view. We were on the bottom floor and could only see the lake through a slight opening between buildings. The door had light coming through it during the night and the window coverings were definitely not room darkening and light shone through as soon as daylight started. The air conditioner was so loud we had to decide whether to have it on or off throughout the night. We went back and forth, consequently had VERY LITTLE sleep. Couldn't sit on our deck because there were 2 bags of dog poop sitting on the deck from the previous occupants.
There was really nothing we liked. Arrived within 15 minutes of our stated arrival and were not told in advance that there was no restaurant, consequently we had to go searching for food and most of the area food establishments were closed. The best part of the stay was Jesse at the front desk was very, very good
