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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

CanadaWe asked for a different room facing the lake and the front desk was not able to accomodate our request. Our room faced the front door and parking lot. The breakfast was just OK. The muffins put out were all smushed and the fruit bowl wasn't the greatest. The second day we were there the muffins weren't smushed and generally the whole breakfast was somewhat better. The breakfast restaurant looked out to the lake so that was better.
We were there for two nights and the bed was comfortable, the room was clean and the place was generally fairly quiet. Bike/hiking Trails nearby and a short drive to Peggy's Cove.

CanadaWhen booking through booking.ca, the lady at the hotel counter did not check my reservation but made a new account. Which in turn ended up double charging me until brought up and fixed by another employee. However in the end the refund was done for one night but I did not get my booking rate for a cheaper value and I did not get the rooms I had chosen. After this, with out full proper refund, I'm not to keen to book online again.
The staff was amazing, buffet good, rooms clean. stay was awsome.

United KingdomThe hotel is also used for weddings and the Lakeside Grill restaurant (the only one in the hotel) was closed to residents for two of our 3 days there. It would be better if there was a separate function facility or a second smaller restaurant for residents to use on such occasions. Parking was difficult on the two 'function' days as there was no parking that was reserved for hotel residents. Would be worth checking if there are functions on at the hotel before finalising your booking.
Room, air con, breakfast, pool and gym were all good. The ice machine was good.

United StatesWe were put in a pet friendly room and you could definitely tell by the smell, so if that's an issue for you then I would be sure to let them know you do not want a pet friendly room. It's great that they allow pets and for anyone traveling with an animal this would be a great option. The rooms seemed to be well sound proof as I didn't hear much from the other rooms. The outside door did not lock as stated at night and there were no cameras for security. The area did not seem to be a high crime area but something to keep in mind. There also was a lot of trash left on the grounds but that seems to be an issue throughout Halifax.
The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The building was well maintained. Breakfast was at a great time and a great value. The pool was very clean albeit a bit on the cooler side. My kids loved playing the vintage arcade games like pac man and street fighter. The views were beautiful and it was lovely to be able to sit by the lake. We did not swim but we saw multiple people going in for a swim or a ride on a paddle board. The showers were very hot and the water pressure was a waterfall! Bed were comfy. Our room had a microwave and a refrigerator with a very small freezer.

JamaicaThe left elevator was not working for the duration of my stay. This was very inconvenient. Very long waits and the single elevator was always full. This was very poor.
Breakfast offerings were great. Room was also good, However my room was not cleaned one day and I had to ask the front desk to have it cleaned when I was out. Location was also good. That was also one of the reasons why this hotel was chosen.
