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...).

CanadaStaff: They need to be trained and more friendly. One of the staff is rude and does not accommodating which they need to improve that attitude especially when regards to customer service. It would be nice to switch for room. Hope they provide soap at least.
The location is very accessible to all like street car stop, parks, walking distance to Spadina and China Town where there is a near convenience store. The room given to me was okay but unfortunately you cannot choose which part to stay.

NorwayThe shared bathroom needs to be upgraded and the bed was not very comfortable. But for the price it is excellent value.
A typical dorm where you share bathroom with a lot of other people and have your own room. It is very central in downtown of Toronto and close to everything and the Spadina subway and streetcar is just some minutes in walking distance. Excellent value for the money and for the location.

LithuaniaThere was only one working (barely) shower for the whole floor and even that one didn't work properly with most hot water going thru the tap and cold water running out of shower head. It was due to the breakage of the shower head.

AustraliaManners of front desk staff were too casual as they were uni students; only one lift available to all residents of the building so it could take a while to wait sometimes.

CanadaPoor quality bed , No place to eat . not even a coffee.
The place was very clean . The room quite small, the bed very uncomfortable , just a thin maybe 5 inch Rubber mattress . So very uncomfortable, one expects more for the cost of the room. No place to eat there , can't even buy a coffee there. The nearest place to eat one must walk 15 minutes to Tim Hortons . For a regular meal walk for 35 minutes plus. Checking in was extremely slow.

CanadaAs expected with university dorms, the bed is a little hard, but the wonderful pillow makes it all comfortable!
The value for money is excellent as long as you don't mind sharing a bathroom! Good AC as well which was very welcome. The shared kitchen is great as well for leaving leftovers in the fridge or cooking something yourself.

TaiwanWashroom was dirty, common room was smelled. Pillow was too low which made my neck hurt… some students made noise at late night…which was really annoying…
Location is great, near streetbus station, or it you walk for 10 minutes can arrive subway station. Also near royal museum & university of Toronto which take 10-15 minutes walk.

FranceThere is literally nothing in the kitchen ! No pan, nothing and that’s a shame. No fork no bowl absolutely anything. When you know most people are staying long term, that’s a shame. At least try. Because for the amount of money paid that should be added. Go to dollarama or something.
It’s central, has streetcar right in front of the place, quiet at night. At the center of the university of Toronto

CanadaThe bed was a bit uncomfortable, showers need better cleaning.
It's located close to public transit, and within walking distance to the ROM and Chinatown. As for the facilities... I mean, you get what you paid for. The room was very clean, with a single bed, a desk, and a small closet. The bed wasn't comfy and the pillow was very flat. The washrooms are divided into male/female, and overall the toilets were clean but the showers needed a bit of a deep clean. Wifi worked great on my laptop, but not so much on my mobile.
