Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

CanadaThe beds were a little too firm for our liking. So, we didn't get the best sleep, but the beds were clean and well presented. The parking lots were a little tricky. I had to back out most of the way when we got stuck since someone parked in a non parking spot, but I was able to get out and find a spot no problem.
The hotel was beautiful, the rooms were beautiful as well. Sadly, I didn't get a good view from our room, but that's ok. It was easy to navigate throughout the hotel, and it was easy to find it as well. The restaurant was great. We had an amazing server who was able to help out with picking a drink and even help out with our meals as we are a tad picky with our food. The chef was great as we wanted to try the steak, but we were unsure of the sauce they used. He put it on the side for us to try, and it was so good. Next time, we will get it on for sure!

CanadaNothing comes to mind other than a little bit of noise early in the morning (6am) from other guests in the hallway that woke us up briefly.
Very nice staff, very clean, nice to have a restaurant with a view. The pool and hot tub were clean and inviting. Upon leaving I found my vehicle battery was dead and the hotel provided me with prompt assistance to get it started from a very helpful man named Kevin which was really appreciated. Thank you.

CanadaI would like to know about restaurant closures before I book. The food and coffee are really not fabulous…it’s ok but for the price it could be much better. Coffee is a big thing, I shouldn’t have to go to the Starbucks in the hotel across the street for decent coffee in the morning. I have had the same horrible view every stay, my brothers experience the same thing? How does this happen? It would be nice to see the city or the ocean instead of a parking lot. (Room 709 🤮) I have been told just recently about a loyalty program but never offered by hotel staff. If there is no perk to booking directly and no loyalty when all 3 of us stay in separate rooms quarterly, then I will keep booking through 3rd party sites to get points I can use at any hotel around the world.
We stay here frequently to visit our Mother who is just up the street at Mt St Mary’s. The location is fabulous and the beds are really comfortable. The staff treats us very well and we see familiar faces every time we stay.

CanadaThe bed, as above. I also needed a down throw I’d taken with me for warmth. The bed cover alone would not have been enough.
I chose the hotel for the location and because I thought it would have a kitchen. It was a kitchenette, which was adequate but no tea pot and I had to ask for decaf coffee pods. My problem was the bed. Way too soft. It’s why I didn’t give higher marks.

CanadaThe staff are amazing and the location cannot be beat. As we stayed in 3 suites starting on the 9th, 15th and Penthouse floor we found them to be a touch dated and worn. However, we have stayed 3 Christmases over the last 5 years and look forward to renovated suites in the future. We also all had brunch on the 25th and the 26th and found the food excellent. One suggestion while the Nespresso machines are a lovely touch a kettle for tea and hot water would be appreciated.

CanadaThe room was on the same level as the pool, and ice machine. Those are popular with families with children and adults. Therefor, it was noisy. We could hear every voice in the hallway quite plainly. This went on until after 11 PM at night. Next time, I will try to request we not get that floor.
Room was clean and comfortable , with a pretty view over the hotel entrance. We were able to get access to our room early, which was wonderful. The hotel is a perfect location for walking the downtown, and has a wonderful restaurant and bar upstairs for an end of the day nightcap .

CanadaWhen I booked through Booking.com I expected to pay the amount they put on my paper but when signing out it came to over a hundred dollars more. They said that Booking.com had the wrong percent on it. They charged us more than we expected. Couldn’t believe all the extra charges above the room price. Would like it if they would put all the extras in the actual price. Pretty frustrating if you trying to budget for a trip. My husband didn’t like the coffee and would have preferred regular coffee maker not the pods.
It was a beautiful stay, rooms were clean and everything we needed there. Loved being on the 14th floor, beautiful sunsets.
