Each 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 are 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 Wi-Fi. 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 arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise 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 else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
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, and 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 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 may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

Canadasome of the walls aren’t sealed properly so you can hear the next suite overs conversations. It would be nice to have an option for early check in.
The suite was exactly as advertised and very clean. The check in process was very simple and we had no issues with our stay.

CanadaUnits to the back of building on lower floors have no view if you are looking for that. Beds were not the most comfortable. No parking on site but parking garage located next street under.
Location is great. Right in the downtown core within walking distance of restaurants, attractions. Place was super clean and kitchen was fully stocked with everything needed to cook for yourself. Keypad entry. Price is reasonable. Laundry on site and access to clean towels available.

CanadaLocation is perfect and super close to all downtown restaurants and bars. The room was a lot nicer than I expected. Rooms are modern and updated. Full kitchenette is a plus. Check in and check out process was super easy. Parking to unload luggage was a was a small issue as barrington St is busy during check in times. However for over night parking there is a large parking garage around the corner. However it is $18 - discounted parking would be a plus. In general no complaints would recommend to anyone looking to experience downtown Halifax/night life. :)

CanadaOnline services is good, but sometimes reply is not so quickly. The past code for enter into the hotel seems doesn’t work, it lead to a bit trouble. But the price of accommodation is cheaper compared to the similar hotels.

CanadaNoisy accomodation (indoor noises during the whole night of the heating and air circulation system). There is no real windows (there are brick walls in 1 meter in front of the windows), so a bit dark flat.

CanadaMy only complaint is the shower floor: the lower lip for the shower door wasn't quite high enough and was prone to some over flow and leaking and the grade in the shower resulted in a fair bit of water pooling. Personal preferences: I would have preferred the water to be hotter but I realize not everyone likes to cook themselves in the shower ;) The self-check in was generally smooth, however mine had a couple of little bumps (took some time to receive the codes for access after check-in) and needed to use the assist for help but they were expeditious and easy to communicate with. This may be difficult for those not as technologically inclined but I believe that the online check-in process is described well before booking.
The facility was not busy, I didn't see any other people, so it was wonderfully quiet. Self-check in was easy once I went through the process. Though there is no parking for the facility, the hollis street parkade is about 2 minutes walking distance, easy to bring luggage etc without needing to park out front. Laundry facilities were on the same floor as the unit, and were clean. The room was very tidy and well appointed with all the necessities (kitchen: full size fridge with freezer, oven and microwave with toaster and kettle in the drawers etc; I have a personal preference for dish cloths for cleaning and I couldn't find any, but other supplies were provided; ironing board and closet space for professionals; seating and work surfaces). The bed was pushed up against the wall which may be tricky for 2 people but worked fine for me and was comfortable and warm. The shower head is quite high (I'm 5'4" and had to reach quite high to adjust), and would likely fit those who are near the 6' range. The shower itself is spacious and had shampoo/conditioner and body wash provided. Very conveniently located next to many coffee shops and breakfast places, all within a short walk, or you can grab a couple basic groceries along the way and make your own in the suite. Fantastic location for any evening/late night activities downtown as it's quite centrally located around clubs, restaurants etc and not far from Scotiabank Centre. However, it can be quite busy with traffic/construction during business hours so keep in mind when driving. Parking was easy to find after hours but is more difficult if coming during business hours (730-8am etc). Also, Barrington street is a main route for many bus routes that can get you around town (most, if not all are accessible for wheelchairs etc) with a bus stop almost at the door step.

CanadaOur room was super close to the elevator and it makes a squeaking sound when it goes up and down which was pretty loud. Other than that the stay was great
Close to all restaurants and bars. I read that it was going to be noisy because of the nearby bar but we had no issues with noise in room 304 which was impressive considering it was friday. The space was big and the tv worked well. Overall a good stay
