Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

CanadaNo elevator, (for physically challenged) bathrooms in units, but it was very cool to experience the era. The long walk to the hotel from the parking lot. Have something to transport people that are physically challenged that arrive later than normal hours.

CanadaThe hotel is an original which makes it unique but you must be prepared for thin walls. Some guests can be thoughtless and loud. It is a reminder of the old days… so you need to be for prepared that. Most guests were lovely.
Fun to stay in Barkerville. It was quiet in the evening and you could really experience the town.

CanadaNothing to suggest... it was all good.
Our host / owner Rea was very accommodating throughout our stay. She made our Barkerville experience very enjoyable, from her initial warm greeting - later than we had originally planned - to providing us with a great breakfast., and providing an additional activity that was very much appreciated.

CanadaEverything was in keeping with the historic nature of the place - no complaints. Only two of the 7 rooms have private bathrooms. Cars must be parked outside the park gates, but carts are provided for the short walk up the historic main street to the hotel. All bedrooms are on the 2nd floor and no elevator is available.
This historic 19th c. Cariboo Gold Rush hotel is located on the main street in the middle of the historic Barkerville Provincial Historic Park. The park has about a hundred restored gold rush buildings, extensive interpretive programming, many restaurants and stores, a theatre, and costumed "players" to help with interpretation and entertainment. A generous continental breakfast was served.

CanadaThin walls as it’s an old structure- sound carries very easily- could hear people chatting and singing in the shower next door.
Lovely old historic property- really great continental breakfast with lots of choices/ room was comfortable and ours had a private bathroom. Our hostess was incredibly helpful and friendly- there were always hot drinks and cookies and fruit available in the entrance foyer.

CanadaBeing a Victorian hotel, in every sense of the word, the walls are a bit thin between the rooms so I would not recommend honeymooners stay there. Not that they would not enjoy it, but guests in other rooms might be disturbed.
Breakfast was highly varied, delicious and plentiful. The ambience was terrific and the lady of the house (staff) was fantastic. We were made to feel very welcome and I would return and also recommend the hotel to others. The hotel is within the attraction of Barkerville and we were able to enjoy wandering around after the visitors had gone for the day. The long summer solstice gave us a wonderful opportunity to experience nature (fox, ground squirrels, birds, etc) as well as the fine museum quality attractions.

CanadaThe weather turned cold and wet and we weren’t as prepared as we could have been. The location is remote and high in the mountains.
The is a wonderfully unique experience as you are literally sleeping in the museum. I felt like we should be dressed in period costumes. The rooms are cozy and comfortable and the bathrooms nicely updated., Rhea gave us a very warm welcome. Continental breakfast was lovely. Tea and coffee available all day in the parlour.
