Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

AustraliaThe bed was only okay.
Nice clean room, good shower. Staff very friendly. The room had a kettle! On the top floor is a full kitchen and lounge and also a coin laundry. We arrived before check-in time and they let us into our room early.

CanadaPillows were clumpy and uncomfortable. The hotel is on the old side - but they were renovating as we were there, therefore it might improve.
Very good location for our needs and it had a parking garage. Rooms were specious. Had a microwave. Walking distance from the boardwalk and Granville island.

United KingdomIt just needs modernising as the decoration and bathrooms a bit out of date. However, it was still a great place to stay in if you want to explore the city and keep to a budget.
The staff were wonderful. They were really kind and helpful on reception. Although basic, the hotel was clean and tidy. The gym was also great.

United States of AmericaHotel is undergoing some renovations, so lobby and area by elevators were a work-in-progress. Felt it was a little overpriced for the quality of the experience.
Overnight stay prior to a cruise, the location of the hotel was a short Uber ride from both the train station upon arrival and cruise terminal for departure. Room was comfortable and clean. Front desk staff were friendly and helpful.

CanadaConstruction in the area and in front lobby. Be mentally prepared for the drug issues and homelessness in Vancouver-definite hardships amongst the natural beauty of the city. Had to walk to other hotel locations for tour picks due to local construction.
Renovations in front lobby the whole trip-should be quite nice in a couple of weeks. Great location to Yaletown and ferry taxis to Granville Island. Loved going to Hornby Starbucks prior to my walk along the seawall. Close to beaches. City very clean. Access to community bikes very close by.

AustraliaHugely over-priced. The number of drug addicts and homeless people swarming around the area like zombies. This comment relates to Vancouver in general. Will not return or recommend Vancouver to friends (or anyone else).
