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...).

CanadaYou should be aware that this is the basement of a townhouse, with three bedrooms and a shared bathroom, kitchen and living space. You might be sharing the place with two strangers. Not a problem for me, but something to be aware of. Getting in was complicated. Three consecutive doors, each with a different code (an outside door, a door into the basement, and then the door to your bedroom). A total of 16 digits, so you'll want to write them down somewhere. Might be a plus if you're a fan of escape rooms. I could hear the people who lived upstairs moving around and talking, so they were probably able to hear me as well. Again, not a problem for me but something to be aware of. There is no cell phone signal in the basement, so you'll have to go to the top of the stairs just inside the outer door. I was also able to stand on a chair near a basement window to get signal. I'm with Rogers, it may be different depending on your mobile carrier.
Clean and modern, with lots of space and up-to-date appliances. Quiet residential area. Plenty of workspace, if you're travelling for business. Great shower! Kitchen has microwave, toaster oven and induction hotplate along with a nice big fridge. Comfortable bed. Fast, solid internet connection. Very good value.

CanadaI stayed an extra day and paid under the table, the host made me park out on the street upon my late arrival and I was fined $80 for parking out during a snow event. I was told the host is not responsible despite my reasons. I would not have stayed there if I knew I had to park out on the street but I was left with no other option. Very upset.
I had an exceptional stay at this incredibly clean and well-maintained apartment in the Preston area. From the moment I arrived, everything was thoughtfully laid out, with a clear pathway to the private basement entrance and convenient garbage, recycling, and compost bins right by the door. The parking was hassle-free, with a driveway spot close to the unit. Inside, the space was spotless, featuring an updated kitchen and bathroom, dimmable lighting, and a spacious area to take off shoes upon entry. The bed was super comfortable with plenty of blankets, and the fast Wi-Fi (thanks to an extender) and large TV with all streaming services were perfect for unwinding. I also loved the security of having my own private lockable room with a memorable code. The host was incredibly kind and responsive, providing fresh towels immediately and answering any questions with ease. The location was ideal—close to Kitchener, Cambridge, and the 401—while still being peaceful and quiet at night. For the level of cleanliness, comfort, and upgraded features, this unit is a fantastic value for money. Highly recommend!

Canada"YOU WILL BE FREE TO PARK ON THE STREET ANY TIME" is not true. On Thursday I was waiting to park front of the house and I could not (two cars were parked in the spot). I should leave my car far after 10 pm and I got a ticket ($35).. Offer LDR in your amenities ( My stay for 5 days) but to receive rules after payment like "YOU CAN DO YOUR LAUNDRY ONLY ON FRIDAY IF YOU STAY MORE THAN 7 DAYS" is not fair. Social areas in the Unit are confortable but the bedroom 2 is very small, no spaces nor furniture to organize personal items. Sorry but no "LUXURY". The couple in the bedroom 1 was polite but share only one washroom sometimes was not easy.
The shower was good.(The pression was excelent). The king bed is a confortable size.

CanadaThere was a bit of confusion on parking. I thought we were able to park in the driveway the second night we stayed but did not. There is street parking around, so that’s something to be mindful of.
The place was very clean, had everything we needed, and the beds were comfortable. There were four of us staying there so it was nice to have the second bedroom.

CanadaI recently stayed at a rental that was impressively clean and appeared new, but the overall experience was disappointing. The host, preferring personal texts over the official booking platform, created arbitrary rules such as a sudden ban on leaving lights on – a rule not disclosed at booking. The listing was misleading regarding the shared spaces. It only mentioned a shared bathroom, but I discovered after a non-refundable booking that the entire unit was communal. (There was no QA at the time answered on that) Parking was problematic; the listing included a parking spot, but with only one legal spot available, this resulted in my car being inconveniently blocked. Although the rental’s cleanliness and newness were commendable, the old and grey towels provided fell short of expectations. Additionally, the lack of a receipt for the stay is inconvenient to say the least. In summary, despite the rental’s pristine condition, the issues with communication, transparency, and amenities significantly detracted from the overall experience.
