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.).

CanadaCrammed rooms with faded paintwork, kinda easy fix. Sink in my room was tiny with a glass shelf obstructing the access, so teeth brushing was a bit challenging. No fridge.
Location and jazz music at the bar. Pretty clean bathroom, towels and bedsheets were also ok.

CambodiaThe room was directly over the bar, which is pretty loud until about 1130.
The location is perfect. It was nice to find a budget friendly-ish stay in the heart of Toronto. The room I stayed in w/ shared bathroom was small, clean, thoughtfully furnished and with a private sink. The shared washrooms and shower were clean. I would stay here again.

The room was very tidy and clean. Very minimal stay.

CanadaIt is an old building. Don't expect the Fairmont. Staff was nice, bed was reasonably comfortable. For a one night stay at a great price, it did the job.
You can't beat the location for price and the bar/restaurant was ok. The music was great and it was close to the theatre.

Canadathe mattress was a bit on the firm side for me personally, and I paid extra to have our own washroom (which I thought was still worth it and would do again) but there was no door on the washroom, just a curtain. I think a pocket door would have been nice so I don't know how comfortable I would be here multiple nights in a row if I was staying with someone else again
amazing location, great public transportation very close by, lots of shopping and food in walking distance, it was clean and cozy and great for the price. surprisingly not that loud above the jazz bar but I did stay on the very top floor. staff were nice and the room and amenities were just what a friend and I needed for 1 night after a concert. they let us check in a few hours early which was great as well. I would definitely stay here again and the friend I brought also told me she would as well, and I'd definitely recommend it to someone else.
