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.).

CanadaThe sofa bed was a bit uncomfortable but the couch was great for my kid.
Meimei is amazing. She takes very good care of you. The rooms were clean and the main bed comfortable. Kitchenette was really nice to have.

CanadaPull out couch as a bed needs to be replaced. Would also suggest a more detailed clean (corners, under furniture)
Unit was recently renovated and provided most of what was needed, anything else we needed (kitchen items) the owner was very responsive and helpful to address and solve right away. Main bed was very comfortable, but the pull-out needs to be replaced. Bathroom was great. Kitchen was great. Small unit but as expected so no issues. Was great for myself and my two boys attending a soccer tournament. I'd also suggest more hooks around the whole unit to hang things, bathroom included.

United StatesWe would have eaten at the restaurant that adjoins the lobby but it was quite expensive. The restaurant is beautiful and the food may have been excellent but it was out of our price range.
We stayed in room 201, which overlooks the lake. The view was beautiful and we spent time on the balcony enjoying the sunshine. It is convenient to downtown, just a short drive away. Two bedrooms and a kitchenette stocked with everything we needed. We didn’t cook there but could have. The beds were comfortable. The highway is very close by but it was never noisy at night. We slept well. We would definitely stay there again especially if we could get that room.

United KingdomBathroom functional but a little tired.
Good and quiet location away from Nelson which in July was heaving. Very nice owner who was happy to let us check in when we arrived three hours early. There’s a small restaurant, open only 3.30 pm - 8.00 pm, but a few tables outside overlooking the lake. Vietnamese style food.

CanadaChanged expected price from March booking. Perhaps did not get loyalty Booking discount but ended up paying $100. more for stay. Possibly the newly renovated was more but not told. Price paid was 2 bedroom price and we just had one. ( not taxes) Pull- out bed not very comfortable but adequate for one. Auto entrance and exit poorly designed. Needs to be changed especially for restaurant usage.
Newly renovated with full kitchen. Bed in bedroom comfortable, full bathroom and nice shower.

CanadaThe kitchen could have used a smaller cooking pot (only 1 larger one found, maybe a baking tray) but generally well equipped. Unfortunately there was no lake access available to hotel guests (families might be disappointed).
A super location about 10 minutes away from downtown Nelson. Great views across the lake, rooms have nice updates and layout. Stove, fridge, microwave, toaster and dishwasher. Quiet smoking area near room with a nice view of the lake (with a friendly local cat that likes pats).

CanadaWe had a great stay, but there are a few small things that would've made our stay even better. It would be great to have dish soap in the room for guests, in addition to the dishwasher packs that were provided. Maybe also provide a step stool for guests to get to the top shelves where the pots were located as we had to pull a chair over to reach them. Please make sure to take a duster to every corner when cleaning the rooms as there were a few spider webs hiding out. It would be great to have hooks on the wall beside the entry door to hang jackets and coats. More that one hook in the bathroom for towels would be better too. Overall though, a great place to stay and I would recommend.
Awesome value for money. Great views. Really nice rooms with ample space. Perfect for families to stay with kids. We had a great stay.

CanadaWhen I booked, I was looking for two beds. I was expecting the second bed to be a standard hide-a-bed. Instead the second bed was a thinly upholstered couch with a fold down back. Not particularly comfortable for sleeping and not particularly comfortable for sitting, either.
Generally, this motel was fine for a couple of nights. The location was convenient -- a few minutes to downtown Nelson.

United StatesWe stayed in one of the 2 bedroom suites with a private balcony overlooking the lake. Very spacious, comfortable furniture, full kitchen. Large common outdoor area to roam around in, and out of the hubbub of downtown Nelson. Mei Mei is a very gracious host, and runs a great onsite restaurant with excellent food.

United KingdomThere wasn’t enough crockery for two people. Though in fairness, we didn’t make the owner aware of this or ask for more. The towels were two small for an adult sized person. The decor could do with a spruce up - but I appreciate that the pandemic has probably put a dent in any funds towards refurbishment.
The location is fantastic. Just an 18 min drive away from downtown nelson. Great place to stay as a home base. Quiet hotel. The bed was really comfy and we slept soundlessly. The food at the restaurant was tasty - try the LAKSA! MeiMei (owner) was lovely and accommodating. Really cheerful and available to us when needed.
