How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. 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, 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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe location is convenient for people travelling from Quebec or Ontario to the East Coast. It’s only a couple of minutes off the Trans Canada. The area is quiet, the room was clean, the shower was strong with lots of hot water, the air conditioning worked, there was a cold mini fridge and a full slate of English and French channels was available through Bell Satellite service.
The first thing we noticed in the room was the strong perfume scent of an air freshener. I’m scent sensitive so we had to close the freshener, open a window and turn off the air conditioner. It didn’t take long for the room to smell unpleasant … sort of an old smoke - mould odour. The pillows were old and uncomfortable and there were no extra blankets. I was cold all night and was completely stuffed up in the morning. The bathroom floor is spongy and sags. There was a 12 inch gap between the bottom of the shower curtain and the lip of the shower pan so every shower soaks the bathroom floor. I’m guessing the spongy bathroom subfloor is full of mould.

Verified reviewVery clean. We all (3 people) got a great night's sleep.
The material quality of furnishings was cottage like, but served its purpose.

Verified reviewThough small and very basic, the rooms themselves were clean and comfortable. Better than other motels I have experienced at this price point.
Could have provided a couple of chairs either in the room or outside.

Verified reviewQuiet place in the country, not far from the highway. Room decent but old. Laminate floor. Microwave oven and fridge with freezer were a plus. TV channels from around the world. Bathroom small but clean. Shower products provided. Air conditioning worked well.
Queen bed very soft; even for hubby who usually likes a not-too-firm mattress, this was overly soft. Dried blood stained spots on enclosed mattress cover when looking under the sheets. Strong smell of room perfume. Shower curtain at least 6”too short, causing water to spray all over the bathroom floor. No shelf or counter space around the sink to place items. Door was hard to open and close because it was poorly adjusted to the opening.

Verified reviewIt is an old motel. The new owners have made a few improvements. The outside looks shabby. It is an OK place to sleep for one night. They advertise a pool which is not true. Good coffee maker.
Paying a security deposit for 85 yr old. Was refunded promptly the next amount.

Verified reviewDelightful location, charming setting in view of the lake. The room had all the necessities though was not at all fancy - I actually appreciate that fact because I don't want or need to pay for luxuries.
My personal preference is a bathtub, not just a shower. However, this is not a "biggie", since a shower will do the job.

Verified reviewLocation, price, could watch the hockey playoff game.
No eatery nearby (BYO food), linens obviously hadn't been changed between visitors (hairs on the sheets), linens had holes in them, outdoor light was on all night, doorlock seemed insecure, shower only, no shelf for toiletries in bathroom, floor had not been mopped well - made my socks dirty so I recommend bringing slippers.

Verified reviewLocation was convenient because it is right off the highway. It served my purpose of a place to rest for 5-6 hours before getting back on the road.
Shower shelves kept falling from the wall. They need to install a more permanent shelf for safety and convenience.

Verified reviewAvailability at the last minute (weather limited our travel). Simple check-in and staff on site 24/7. Friendly and helpful staff member. Offered a discount on our next stay for the inconveniences. Provided us with extra coffee and a space heater. Lots of TV channels and quiet atmosphere. Would be a nice place to stay in the Summer.
The price on Booking.com was lower than the actual price I paid at check-in. Communal amenities (shampoo, soaps, coffee whitener - other guests can tamper with them). The pipes froze - not able to use the shower and had to manually fill the toilet. Room was extremely cold and drafty. Staff member kindly supplied a space heater but it ended up tripping the breaker. The “inconvenience discount” of 15% is only applied to my next stay and not the current one.
