How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The lobby seems a bit run down, there’s a coffee shop attached that may have been part of a nicer lobby in the past.
Location was good, close to ethnic restaurants and gay bars, the area is a bit seedy but not too bad. The hotel has free bikes to use, they were decent hybrid bikes. It’s a nice ride across the Burrand St bridge to Granville Island and also to the waterfront and Stanley Park. It’s also close to the higher end part of downtown and the ole historic areas. We stayed there before a cruise and the washer and dryer were nice to have.

The Burrard is an older motel that's renovated. Therefore the rooms are a bit noisy, the bathroom is very small and the A/C is loud. But please read the first sentence in the other half of the review again :)
The location of this hotel is great, and you'll probably find nothing better in that area for the money. Everything is clean. The parking is easy to find and enter and safe. Suggestion for breakfast (not available at the hotel): The Basic in Davie Street, a 5 min walk. The free bikes provided by the hotel are really OK and well-maintained, but not as comfortable as others from actual rental companies. So if you wanna bike a lot, consider renting.

There’s no integrated AC - the portable unit in the room is very noisy! It would be great if the cafe did a range of breakfast options to avoid having to go out when you want a lazy start to the day!
Great central location and really friendly and helpful staff. Massive comfortable bed! Elysian cafe next door does very good coffee!

A/C was appreciated but loud. Takes up s bit of space in the room.
We ate dinner at Burgoo the first evening and tried Espana the next, and went to Forage for breakfast. Excellent location for walking, checking out Stanley Park,etc.

The room was fairly compact - just OK for three people. It isn't located in a particularly nice area - right by a hospital.
We stayed two nights. Staff were friendly and helpful. Location is convenient to walking in Vancouver. Given the cost of accommodation in Vancouver, the Burrard is reasonable value.

Noisy! They should supply ear plugs because between the loud exhaust, frequent sirens and the derelicts wandering the streets all night, I got about two hours of sleep.

Was a bit of siren noise due to the hospital across the road and the air conditioner was noisy but neither was bad enough not to spoil our stay.
Bed was very comfortable, loved the Nespresso coffee pod machine in our room. The staff were helpful and friendly. Prior to us arriving provided lots of useful information of what to do in Vancouver. The location is convenient to downtown Vancouver and walkable to major attractions, Stanley Park , Granville Island, Canada place waterfront where tours can be arranged . Cafe Elysian next door and also the Burgoo Bistro. The meals there were delicious, reasonably priced and friendly staff.

a lot of homeless and questionable people in the vicinity, did not feel safe at night, reasonably close to downtown was better during the day.
clean and comfortable, court yard looked lovely although we were not there long enough to use it. late checkout of 12 .00 noon which was nice.
