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 are 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 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.).

CanadaThe neighbourhood was so sketchy and there was a lot of homeless people nearby. Also, It was super hot outside and the second room only had a fan that wasn’t very strong so we were hot.
The hotel was really clean, the staff was super sweet and the free breakfast was pretty good. Good value!

Location, friendly staff, delicious breakfast, clean room, terasse on the balcony. It's not a typical hotel, but exceeded my expectations. Very satisfied with my stay. Bonus: cheap interior public parking just beside the hotel.

CanadaWas unseasonably warm during my stay and I was hoping to get a breeze from the window. Nope but thankfully a large fan was in the corner so problem solved.
Terrific location just a short walk from Byward Market. Lots of amazing food choices nearby, friendly staff and many breakfast options to chose from. Thank you all for making my solo trip to Ottawa a memorable one!

CanadaThere was no wardrobe in the room, had to put clothes to drawers of a nightstand. Underground parking was super confined, so drive it and out with extreme caution. Also, there were no slippers even though they were mentioned among room facilities on Booking. All these are minor nits to me though.
Great location, walkable distance to most points of interest in Ottawa. Was able to secure a spot in the underground parking garage which was super convenient! Free breakfasts were pretty good. The room itself was clean, as well as the balcony. The views were also nice. There was an elevator - but please note that there are stairs at the main entrance which can make it a little bit challenging if you have a stroller or are experiencing mobility issues.

CanadaThe portable air conditioner in the room was a bit awkward, but we were grateful to have it.
We loved its location. The ByWard Blue Inn is within walking distance of all the sites we wanted to see on our Ottawa visit - the parliament buildings, the museums, the Rideau canal and the ByWard market. The breakfast offerings were generous, and the staff most accommodating in that area as well as at the reception desk. We liked having our own little balcony for morning coffee and to unwind at the end of the day. There were a wide variety of restaurants and pubs in close proximity to the hotel for drinks and dinners. Although an older accommodation, every effort is being made to keep up the facility. Hopefully work will continue on the little courtyard area as that would enhance the inn’s offering. While limited, underground parking is available which is a real bonus in this area of Ottawa. We would definitely make this home base on any future visits to Ottawa.
