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...).

CanadaA little more space for food would be nice. Unfortunately, the fridge was noisy, which was a bit of an issue at night.
The most marvelous thing was the peaceful location with a little private deck area. You can see a bit of the bay and the Whiffin Spit as well.

CanadaThe bed was not comfy,limited dishes.No where to wash dishes.Breakfast and fruit were to be provided, but it was not. The website needs to be updated since some things have changed. From what I understand there is new Property management. And that is why some of the things that had been. There was also no place to hang your clothes as the closet. You weren't allowed to have anything except plastic cups by the hot tub. They were supposed to be provided but were not. The dishes that were provided to us could not be cleaned. Because there was nowhere to wash them, So they were left unwashed. There was no dish soap or tea towels either.
Location,hottub,owners was very accomidating.

United KingdomThe new management company aren't great to deal with but I guess this is just one of many properties they run and it's no longer a family run cottage. A large additional cleaning fee of $75 was added to our booking, although we were given the option to cancel our booking but we had already made plans to visit Sooke so we went ahead. No staff onsite as it's managed remotely and they don't answer the phone, so you have to email them. Wouldn't rebook with Iris Properties.
Beautiful location, although you need a car. Favourite part of our stay here was getting a pizza delivered one evening after a soak in the hot tub and eating it on the decking watching the seals and eagles right next to us. Great location for wildlife. Cosy room, very peaceful.

CanadaNot sure anything could be better, I wish I had been able to stay longer!
This is a cute little property within a 2 minute walk of Whiffin Spit. The suite we stayed in had a queen bed in the main living area, and 2 twins in the one bedroom. It has a very basic kitchen, with coffee maker and beans from a coffee shop in Sooke(wicked awesome coffee), and a basket of snacks in the kitchen, as well as some fresh baked muffins in the fridge.

CanadaThere was nothing we didn't like. Just felt like the place was getting a bit dated and so could use a few upgrades such as a built in kitchenette (microwave and counter) and bigger table for sitting. I don't think the "steam shower" worked anymore. I don't want to complain, as these things did not have a big impact on our stay.
Great location, comfy suite and loved the hot-tub! Thanks for also providing robes. Our host left us a wonderful assortment of breakfast and snack items which we greatly appreciated. Thank you!
