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...).

AustraliaDirectly across the road is a building full of heavily drug affected people. Constant fire trucks and ambulances with sirens on throughout the night and it feels very unsafe once its dark to enter and exit the building
Beds were extremely comfortable, was located in a great proximity to everything in the city, kitchen was very useful and equipped well, Aircon was perfect

IcelandIt was a bit strange not to have somebody from the staff there for most of the day. One evening we had to evacuate the building due to a fire alarm. Luckily nothing was wrong so we could go in again. That took a long time because one of the lifts was out of order (to go back up, we went down the stairs when evacuating). It would have been a good idea if somebody from the staff had organized how people would get up again or even opened the stairs to let people walk up. Instead this took a very long time. It was also a bit sad to see the homeless people on the streets of Vancouver, probably many on drugs. They were not aggressive in any way.
Very central and clean. All necessary facilities. Good web connection. Friendly staff.

ColombiaIt is a couple of blocks from Hastings Streets and there were some drug addicts and home less. The building right in front of us is abandoned or invaded it didn’t help with the apartment view
The apartment was huge, I wasn’t expecting something like that. It has everything you need, a fridge, stove, laundry and dryer, a bathroom and the beds were so comfy

United KingdomAs others have mentioned, there are a lot of homeless drug users in the area. We had an alley view from our room and everyday there were fresh piles of rubbish, people doing crack/heroin/fentanyl or selling stolen goods with frequent shouting and other noises. This made my partner very nervous and scared.
The property having cooking/washing/drying facilities is brilliant for being in Vancouver. The cutlery/kitchen utensils are good. The staff were very pleasant. We had the room for a large discount which is the basis of my review.

SwitzerlandThere are practically no shelves in the closet and no other cabinet to store the clothes. We needed to have the suitcases accessible and open all the time to get the things in and out . Ok for 1 night, but for longer stay it’s not ideal. Also, no hooks in the bathroom to hang the clothes. Only one rack on the wall for a towel. The location would be ideal, if it were a bit further from China town. We thought that the price was rather high, but compared to the hotels in Vancouver it was a bargain.
New building with the beautiful terrace on the top of the building, washer and dryer units in the studio. Coffee machine and microwave.

United KingdomLots of homeless and drug users in the neighbourhood, so not a great area if that's likely to spook you. But we didn't feel threatened - it's just unsettling and sad. Arrival procedure was difficult after hours: we followed someone else in through the outer door, without realising that it was essential to use the buzzer from outside in order to activate the lift. So we found ourselves inside but unable to reach our apartment. They were very helpful via WhatsApp, but you'll need phone data in order to use that, and at that point we weren't on the building's wifi.
Lovely clean, spacious apartment, very comfortable and walking distance from the shops and waterfront.

CanadaThe location isn’t the best. It’s across the street from an old theatre that is now riddled with open drug usage in front. Felt extremely dodgy walking back home at night in the area.
It is a great value compared to everything else in Vancouver. It has everything you need for a short and long term stay. Check in and check out was a breeze.
