Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United States of AmericaNot enough light for reading,: no outlets by the bed
A very large room with a super comfy king-size bed and plenty of furniture: (2 tables, 3 chairs, 2 bedside tables), a clothes closet and a cooking niche, with fridge & microwave. It seemed to have been recently remodeled & we enjoyed the coal-mining theme of the decor. I would definitely recommend.

CanadaIt is puzzling to me that a room with two beds, rented to two people, consistently has only one chair. One guest must always perch on the side of the bed or lay out flat on the bed! My request for an extra chair was not fulfilled. We stayed two nights and our room was not refreshed after our first night. The front desk provided coffee pods etc for our second morning. I kind of miss the breakfast in a bag provided during Covid restrictions. It was certainly adequate , convenient and free.
It is centrally located and easy to find. Our room was very clean and quiet but not overly spacious The bed was very comfortable . The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. An adequate hot breakfast was available at a reduced price for hotel guests but this was not mentioned when we checked in although there was a small sign which I noticed by chance. We have stayed here several times and are always satisfied with our visit.

United States of AmericaI felt the lighting wasn't very good in the room - there were 3 lamps but one of them didn't work. A hotel worker came and replaced the bulb but it still worked only for a few minutes. I was happy to see there was a restaurant at the hotel since there are no other restaurants within walking distance and I had no car. But I was very disappointed to learn the restaurant wasn't open on Sunday for dinner - only brunch. My stay was a Sunday night to Monday morning. I ended up ordering a pizza and having it delivered from a local pizza joint.
The room was very nice - it was a theme room. It was clean and comfortable and the staff was friendly and helpful.

United States of AmericaWe couldn't get the Keurig coffee maker to work until the staff explained that you needed to plug in either the microwave or the coffeemaker. Who knew? A sign would be nice explaining that, or better, they could install an adapter.
Staff was very nice, and the restaurant had excellent breakfast specials for overnight guests. The hotel had everything one needs in a good location. The towels were thick and there was plenty of hot water.

CanadaFacility is tired and could use some freshening up. Peeling paint in many areas with a general feeling of neglect and lack of maintenance. Front desk staff was helpful but there was an obvious language issue made more difficult with the wearing of COVID masks. A TV operation guide would be helpful as it is not intuitive. WiFi extremely slow and frustrating for Business Guests. Frequent loss of signal.
Room was ready upon arrival and clean. Restaurant onsite was very welcoming with great food.

CanadaOne of the beds was very loud. Our kids are light sleepers and would wake up every time they turned over in the bed closest to the bathroom. We all ended up sleeping in one bed, the bed was way too creaky to sleep comfortably.
The staff was all friendly. From the check in staff to random employees we passed in the halls - everyone greeted not only adults, but our kids as well.

CanadaReception. Two different people were on duty at the reception desk….both seemed to hide behind a screen and only emerged when a question was asked. No friendly, bubbly greeting that we have experienced at other hotels during our travels. Certainly the hotel needs to improve on this very important aspect of guest relations. The Internet was down for the entire three days that we were there without sufficient explanation. Just a simple, “we called the company this morning.”There was no breakfast provided by the hotel. The on site restaurant offered a good breakfast that hotel guests could buy.
Hearthstone has made a great attempt to upgrade rooms. Nice wood floors, new bathroom fixtures and new furniture. Decorating features were interesting …our room had a fishing theme.

CanadaVery dated, had a marijuana smell waft into the room at 3am. Very thin walls and could hear a lot of the neighbours conversations. Was quite a walk to the wharf so stay further down Kings Rd if that’s your goal. The toilet was also dirty when used the first time.
Free parking, easy to access hotel right along the way to the waterfront.
