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 staff and owners were so lovely and friendly! Dinner at the Bothy (on-site restaurant) and breakfast was delicious. The property is beautiful and the accommodations were fantastic. The location is very convenient to the fort and lighthouse. I highly recommend if visiting the Louisbourg area.

Verified reviewLoved the vibe, the team (Colin, Justin, and the amazing Julie!), and the breathtaking ocean view with Fortress Louisbourg. Quite stunning. The food in The Bothy was some of the best we've ever eaten, and the service was kind, caring, knowledgeable, and cordial. North Star Beach Resort is the best of hostelry incarnate: sophisticated, elegant, unpretentious.
That we only stayed one night...

Verified reviewGreat location. Pictures on website show it a little more detached. Having Justin and Colin making the whole operation go smoothly and enhancing guest enjoyment was added value and staff are on their toes and great.

Verified reviewThe staff were nice and friendly and the place was spotless.
Bed was like plywood. Room smelt musty. The bathroom needed updating. I normally wouldn’t complain about out of date tile and vanity in a bathroom, but when you have to pay nearly $350 for a night you should have your bathroom facilities match the price tag.

Verified reviewMy husband and I stayed for two nights and wished we could have stayed longer. Colin and Justin are very hands on owners and can’t do enough for you. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Ate at The Bothy for dinner and had breakfast and lunch in the Coast. The meals were delicious! Highly recommend!

Verified reviewThe location of North Star is really amazing if you have an ocean facing room. It was great to hear the water lapping the shore as we slept. The room itself was lovely, nicely equipped and comfortable. Both the onsite restaurants are stellar - the french onion soup and chicken pot pie are really excellent. The hosts and staff at the property are topnotch, friendly and efficient. Great stay.

Verified reviewThe view and the people were great. The location is very close to the Fortress at Louisbourg. The restaurant has a very nice vibe.
The room we stayed in did not match the picture on Booking.com. Expected a balcony and a bedroom suite, got a small porch with no seating and a cramped room. Bathroom could have been cleaner and more updated. No place to put clothes. Outside seating could be much nicer. Exterior light was so bright it was nearly like daylight in the room.

Verified reviewGreat view over the ocean and very comfy large room with good facilities and very comfy bed. Food and environment in the Bothy restaurant was great.
Not a lot to do in Louisbourg other than visit the fort. A few outdoor areas of the accommodation could do with a repaint.

Verified reviewThe suite was a ‘wow’ with every comfort catered for. The breakfast and lunch options were many, varied, freshly prepared and delicious. The staff were attentive and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. We were advised places to visit and encouraged to see the locale. Entertainment was excellent while the location was calm, peaceful and relaxing.
There was nothing really..!

Verified reviewThe restaurants were charming and had great food and service. A little pricey but great atmosphere. My room was lovely and had everything I needed to be comfortable. I liked the bed personally but some might find it form if they are used to a plush mattress.
I really can't think of anything. I loved it there! Maybe blackout curtains for the windows facing the street lamps? Some people don't sleep well when the room is too bright.
