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):
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.
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.).

CanadaRoom and shower were very small. The door was not properly fitted to the frame, with large gaps at the top and bottom. Light from the hall leaked into the room all night. We never got to see any management personnel our entire 2 night stay.
Bed was comfortable and the room was clean.

CanadaSmall room, close quarters, needed updating. It lacked amenities such as wash cloths, coffee/tea, cups, mugs, etc.
The room was tight but served its purpose as a haven in a storm. It was on a quieter street so that was good.

CanadaInterestingly enough my room did not have a trash can, so I ended up collecting my trash over the few days I was there and discarded it at the end of my stay. I am sure if I had asked the front desk they would have been happy to provide one! Parking was rather tight even though I had a smaller car, so be prepared for that and the bathrooms can be a little tight as well. There is no complimentary breakfast as some booking sites suggest for this place, but there is a restaurant that supposedly has great fish and chips located just downstairs.
The room was quite spacious and it had everything I needed for a relaxing weekend! An added bonus was the mini fridge and microwave plus the tv that had various streaming apps available. The overall inn had a warm, welcoming and comfortable feel to it and it really had the "country" vibe! I also loved how close this place was to the lake/beach and to grocery stores.

CanadaThe hotel's amenities were limited, which may not suit everyone's needs.
The Windspire Inn in Port Elgin served as a convenient base for our recent trip, primarily due to its proximity to the MacGregor Point Provincial Park

CanadaBooking pricing was too high per night and for the end of season.. Pricing at other inn per night and closer to the beach was only $90 per night, which brings us to $180 plus taxes. We could had saved over $120 for the 2 nights. This pricing was for a much higher quality inn or hotel.
Location. On a quiet street 3 blocks from beautiful beach, 4 blocks from Main Street with restaurants. Shops, gas station and only 15 min drive from the national park.

CanadaThe duvet didn't have a cover on it which we found a little odd. The inn is definetly old, and therefore has quirks. But it is still a great place to stay!
The location was great and we were pleasantly surprised by our room! We can see that there are improvements to the property and inside decor since our stay last year! Our room had a TV, mini fridge, microwave, and AC. The bed was comfortable with clean sheets and we appreciated the free toiletries, and how close the beach was.

CanadaStaff was unresponsive and unhelpful, place looks like it’s not being cleaned, stairs were dirty, flies everywhere. The shower stall opens directly into the room. Looks like it was once a really nice boutique inn but new owners are not keeping it clean and it’s become more of a short/long term lodging house.
Comfortable bed, clean sheets.

CanadaThe room was so small and the door wasn't fit properly so light and noise from the hall poured in all night long. Air conditioning took forever to cool the room. Shower stall so small I could barely fit. The exterior of the Inn really needs a clean up as the back common area was overgrown with weeds and not flowers in the gardens. Patio furniture broken and uncomfortable.
The location is great as it's within walking distance to the beach. Staff very friendly and helpful. Restaurant attached to the Inn provided good food and beverages.

CanadaThe continental breakfast had few options. It was difficult to communicate with the owner, she barely speaks English. I asked her to leave us some items for the breakfast because we needed to leave at 7 am and her answer was that the breakfast started at 8:30 am. In any other hotel, breakfast starts at 6:00 am
The location is good, close to the marina and the public beach
