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...).

NetherlandsThe light in the room is very bright, bordering on harsh. A few lamps with more subdued, warmer light would be a major improvement to this room. A few hooks near the bathroom to hang towels and clothing would also be a good idea. I did miss a table to sit and work at, though I can see that would come at the expense of the couch.
Wonderful and surprising place hidden behind a small facade in a lively and colourful area of Toronto. Cool room, good bed and shower. Friendly staff, who gave me some very useful tips for food and coffee. Good and friendly communication by text.

CanadaI was a bit surprised by the basement room and the lack of light but I slept really well and was mostly there to sleep so it didn't really matter.
Very comfy bed, appreciated the high-quality soap/lotion/shampoo and the complimentary eye patches. Extremely clean and great location.

United KingdomCheck in is a bit weird, there is no lobby and if you don’t have a phone connection or internet data is hard to make contact. We waited 20 minutes for someone to come get us from the front door. They could simply share the WiFi password and solve the communication problem. The hold deposit on the room is pretty expensive and I just don’t think it’s a nice thing to do.
Good location, nice room, modern and clean amenities. Bathrobes and towers and slippers provided, which is a nice luxury to have!

United KingdomThe hotel is a family owned and run (all female) business and they’ve done an amazing job! Erica (Mum) is so helpful and responsive. It’s in a great area of Toronto and easy to get downtown, either via walking or streetcar. So many little shops and restaurants are close by so you don’t even have to head downtown if you don’t want to! Would highly recommend and would come back in an instant when returning to Toronto.

We loved the coffee shop next door called Larry’s. Great coffee and pastry for breakfast. The studio has a kitchen which is a plus. Highly recommended. Look no more and book this place!!

CanadaNothing! Everything was perfect. I didn’t see any coffee/tea in the room but I didn’t ask either.
Location was perfect for me (I arrived by train, made a commute from Union Station and then a commute to Budweiser Stage). And I loved the personal touch of eye masks on the pillow and the style of the room was welcoming! Loved having the tv on the fireplace channel, too.

New ZealandThis is a great property and I cannot fault it. We both loved our two nights there.
The room why compact was very nice, very clean & comfortable bed and lovely small kitchen. In addition the roof top deck was amazing and great to sit up on. The most amazing thing is the Host. She was amazing and super knowledgeable / friendly & passionate about the property and told us all about the local area and where the best dining was & bus / town car etc. I cannot complement her more as it was just a great experience.

BrazilThe only point I would note is that the room I had was very dark and did not really have windows as the windows were about 10 cm from the wall of the house next door. This was ok for me as I was not in the room much during the day.
Extremely well located and well furnished room. Reasonably priced for Toronto which is super expensive.
