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...).

CanadaThe first morning of my 4 night stay, I was awoken by the sound of heavy traffic on the busy street but by the second night the sound was simply white noise and was not an issue.
The host was very accommodating. The room was clean and bed very comfortable. Having the small kitchenette in the room was very much appreciated. I could keep basic necessities for breakfast (yogourt, cheese, fruit) in the small fridge and could heat things like soup in the microwave. The coffee maker was easy to use and coffee/tea/hot chocolate was graciously provided. Sharing the bathroom with one other person was not an issue as it was kept exceptionally clean. I will definitely be staying again when I am back in Hamilton. The central location can not be beat!

AustraliaI have absolutely no complaints whatsoever.
I went on a trip from Australia through Sri Lanka, the UK and Iceland to get here but this was the very first part of my journey that I booked before anything else including flights even though I'd never been to Canada before. I could not have been more satisfied with my booking. The location was excellent and the facilities in the room were much more than what I was expecting with the provision of snacks and drinks in the room at no extra cost. Even though I didn't use it this visit, there was also a microwave. Would recommend learning how to use a Keurig as I'd heard of them but never used one, had to look up a video on YouTube. The specific room I had (Number 1) overlooked the driveway so I could look outside and see when my lift arrived each day without having to wait outside in the cold. Also, the room was huge and much bigger than I was expecting and was well heated. I also had no issue with noise. I would also highly recommend not only reading any guest books in the room to see all the past guests who've stayed there with no end of well-deserved effusive praise but also to add your own entry. I found everything about my location that I saw to be really, really nice. Also, please do keep in mind that even though there's a very wide and generous range of arrival times, to arrive during these times as you have to be checked in in person. Communication via the messaging through the booking.com site was very good. Finally, make sure your keys are on your person so you don't accidentally lock yourself out and in my case, I made sure to attach an AirTag to it so I didn't have a similar mishap than what I did in Iceland with a very similar set of keys!

One of the best places I’ve stayed in a long time. Host was friendly, place was clean, packed with everything you need (towels, fridge, microwave, snacks, coffee maker, toiletries). Had tons of character and was in a great location. Cannot beat it for the price. Honestly, you’d be hard pressed to find something comparable for 3 times as much…

CanadaEverything was great
It was a large room in an old house, with great a/c. The shared bathroom wasn’t a problem at all. The rate was cheaper than any hotel in the city. Host greeted us and was available - but we had no problems. Very close to everything in the city.

CanadaWould prefer bathroom closer to room, but not much could be done about that.
Large, seven-sided room in a lovely old home. Busy street outside, quiet inside. Very comfortable bed. Comfy armchairs. Large bathroom with good shower. Appreciated the snacks. Ample parking. Despite being on a busy noisy road, it was quiet and restful in our room.

CanadaThe home decor is dated.
Location worked nicely for Around the Bay Road Race expo and race morning at Tim Hortons Field, as we used the municipal bike share program and the closest station for that was only a 6-minute walk away. Other positives we noticed: bed was very comfortable, room had huge windows with a decent view, room was well furnished, shared bathroom was spacious and clean, towels provided, parking space was provided, etc.
