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...).

This is a beautiful place to stay especially if you want some R&R. 40 minutes away from Halifax. Right on the water, gorgeous view.

NetherlandsDifficult to fault this house and its amenitites, but for the sake of nitpicking, we used the last bit of honey from the pot. The other thing is it took quite some time for hot water to reach the bathroom. It felt a bit like waste of water because we had to run it quite long before it heated up.
It's like having a luxury hotel room in a shared home. Rather then walking out into a meaningless corridor in a hotel you walk out into an amazing home, shared with the other guests. Seating area, dining room, kitchen, games room, sun room, garden. It's all there! Great to have a lot of flexibility. A few comments suggest it's a bad thing to make your own breakfast but we liked it a lot. The selection of breakfast goods is amazing and of good quality, you can eat relaxed, extent your breakfast, change your mind, have something extra, the flexibility it provides was for us real freedom and added to the experience. We had a very light breakfast before going out in the kayaks directly from the garden (free of charge!) and then had a hearthy 'second breakfast' after coming back. :) We had nice chats with the other guests and the host was really nice as well. If you book this house with a group of friends or family for a bit longer stay you won't be dissapointed!

United KingdomLoved my stay here in the beautiful KISH suite and met some wonderful people who were also staying at the guest house. The communal breakfast table / kitchen is a wonderful idea and the owners kindly allow guests to help themselves to food whenever they feel peckish. In the evening we shared the hot tub and chatted for ages in the warm water, continuing the next morning at the huge dining table, also pulling some newly-arrived guests into our conversation and learning so much about each other! We really did leave as friends. Next time, we'll have to say longer, so we can go kayaking and explore the shoreline a bit. This time, there was too little time.

SwitzerlandThere are only a few places to eat in the area, most closed by 7 pm. But then again - if you come with a group and stay for a couple of days you can easily prepare your own meals.
We mainly chose this guest house as we were looking for a place to stay within an hours drive from Halifax airport, there's not that many places. It is a great place for a weekend away with family and friends, it's quite big, with a well equipped kitchen and a spacious dining area and living room, right on the lake with the possibility for watersports. If we lived closer we would definitely come back for a long weekend. If you stay longer and use the whole offer the price is definitely more justified than when you only stay for a stop over.
