Each review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Traffic noise ... being in a suite that faced the corner there was a little traffic noise if we had the window open at busy times early in the morning. Also not so private when sitting on the porch, but hey very nice inside the room. Working out the TV operation was challenging, instructions not seen anywhere on remotes ?
Location was good, loved the back garden & deer that visited, also & restaurant downstairs was fabulous ! Also loved the table across the street, so nice for sunsets. Also cliff walking trail was good.

It was a long walk to the beach which the photos implied were closer to the property. The staff were friendly but hard to get hold of. A car is necessary to visit the village. I had thought breakfast would be available and I was wrong
The view was incomparable. The suite was beautiful and very comfortable. The restaurant was excellent. Lovely location with gorgeous seaside walks. There was a huge TV which I didn't watch but some people would love it. There was a lovely balcony with a view of the ocean

The tv opened three times in the middle of the night!!! To eliminate the problem at 3:00am… we unplugged the tv. Next morning we informed the reception desk…. The answer was: they were sorry… the tv control is shared with other rooms… so if someone open his tv at 2 o’clock at night it opens in the other rooms!!!
The dinner at the restaurant was wonderful!!

The room was scorching hot when we checked in. +31 in the room when the outdoor temperature was only +23. We did the cool the room off eventually with the windows wide open and fan going constantly. Also, our room would not be good for mobility challenged guests as there are lots of stairs and two stories of stairs are outside (might not be fun in the rain!).
A beautiful old house just across from the ocean just outside of Gibsons. We stayed in one of the third floor penthouse suites, which are large, airy and very comfortable with a tiny deck and view of the sea across the road (access is on private property though, but there are other paths to access the water). Restaurant on site is open for dinner for the latter part of the week.

There was no possibility to have breakfast or lunch at the lodge. It was complicated without car so it is not for those who don't like long walking. Bus is close, like 1.5 km, but it is up the hill. Dinner was delicious, but we were waiting 50 minutes to get it. But it was worth it 😊
The location. It was calm and exactly what we were looking for. The stay was amazing.

Furniture was a bit dated and the rug and couch were positioned on a slant, which made the room look messy even though it was very clean. Bed mattress not very comfortable. Felt like an old, springy mattress that had a topper on it and I didn’t have the best sleep.
Absolutely stunning location! Room was very nice and had everything we needed.

For the price they could have provided the charcuterie board and a bottle of wine as pictured on their web page. They could also have served a breakfast tray or offered some selection.

No breakfast. Microwave and fridge in room but even if you did prepare or heat a meal nothing to eat with! Asked for crockery and cutlery and it was willingly provided. But why not just put it in the room?
