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...).

United StatesInternet connection was terrible- basically it didn’t connect in our room. It was fine at the pool area. Ability to connect to the internet is now essential to a traveler. Very disappointed! Staff seemed efficient but not very welcoming Peeling paint on the wooden deck in front of the motel unit makes for a worn out look. Exercise equipment is very old & should be replaced.
Didn’t try the breakfast as we are not fond of buffet breakfast. King bed was very comfortable ,

The location is very good. Baddeck is a good central place to other locations in the area.

CanadaThe only somewhat negative comment was that the decor could use a "sprucing up". For instance the toilet paper dispenser was a bit far from the toilet.
We stayed in the main lodge and our room was spacious. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom had a bath tub and shower although the tub was a bit small. There was an excellent view of Bras d'Or Lake from our room. There was access to the front lawn from the room and chairs located in front if you wanted to sun yourself or just relax outdoors. A swimming pool was available which we did not use. The dining room attached to the main lodge was bright and airy with a nice view of the lake. The meals were very good with a buffet served at breakfast or dinner based on the attendance of a bus tour. The staff were very friendly and accommodating.

CanadaNothing to dislike from this one encounter.
We stayed in a pet friendly room (#44) which was the top row and at the end. The room was very spacious and the beds/ pillows were very comfortable. All the staff were great & helpful. The whole place has amazing grounds and views to put a smile on any face. We chose to eat in the restaurant for breakfast and the food was amazing as was the view!! There was lots of choice for breakfast and was great value for money. They have a little shop area in reception to grab snacks, water, juice and souvenirs. Baddeck itself is quaint, it was a Sunday so most places were closed but it’s a beautiful place. We’d stay here again.

AustraliaWifi was intermittent, however considering where the hotel is located that’s not surprising. Rooms were a little musty, however there were plenty of windows to open that allowed for cross ventilation.
Good size room with great view. Coffee maker and fridge in the room. Decent bathroom with plenty of hot water available Plenty of space for baggage. Lovely staff. Restaurant available onsite.

AustriaOn the day of our arrival the hotel restaurant was closed, although a rest day is well deserved it said nothing about it in the ad. Since we have been travelling all day we would have appreciated staying in and eat there, let alone have a quiet drink ending the day - the bar is attached to the restaurant and was therefore closed as well. In such a remote location and in such a big house this came as a serious surprise.
Very well situated hotel at the city limit of Baddeck. It was very quiet and we had a beautiful view towards the water. The room was big and comfortable with a little terrace and two deck chairs.

CanadaNothing comes to mind.
Have returned multiple times to this place -- excellent on many levels. Well cared-for property, comfortable rooms and beds, excellent to have sitting chairs for reading, as well as outdoor chairs on the attached balconies. Restaurant on the property is good for breakfast and dinner. Short walk or drive into Baddeck for other amenities and options. Great view of the water, access to the highway and to the activities on the Cabot Trail.
