How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Nothing to complain about
The cottage is roomy and in such a lovely location. It backs onto a wooded reserve and is metres from the shore of Lake Ontario. It’s in a lovely part of Niagara on the Lake. So many beautiful homes nearby plus parks and a golf course. We swam daily at the beach which is around 100m from the front door. Inside the house is fully equipped. A full and very well stocked kitchen with all the utensils plus a great selection of coffees. We also appreciated the washing machine and the effective air conditioning as it was warm during our visit. The beds were comfortable and our daughter’s loved having their own bedrooms :))

There really wasn't anything that we didn't like, the only con was that it would have been nice to have another table in the kitchen for surface space and perhaps because of all the rain the basement was a little musty - a dehumidifier might help. Everyone in our party was happy with the accommodations and said they would not hesitate to return.
The Cottage was lovely, with lots of room to move about and everyone commented on how comfortable the beds were. Great water pressure in the upstairs shower, (which I used) which is brand new with 3 shower heads and more than enough towels for everyone. We were a party of 6, and the house was fully stocked with plenty of dishes, glasses, pots and pans. The location was amazing and the neighbourhood friendly and safe. Although we cooked for ourselves most of the weekend, there were several restaurants and pubs close by. We had lunch at "The Sand Trap" which was within walking distance and the prices were reasonable and it offered plenty of choice. We had some rain and drove both to the restaurant for lunch and into town for groceries - both were less than a 5 minute drive, although the neighbourhood and scenery was so beautiful you wanted to drive slower to have a good look around.

Mattress in main floor bedroom facing the back desperately needs a new mattress. Mirrors in each bedroom would be very helpful. Tub mat for bathroom in the basement would make it safer. Some oil for the squeaky bedroom and bathroom doors would ensure everyone sleeps through the night. ;)
Location. Host responsive to communication via text when we needed them. Proximity to lake and NOTL - incredible. Home is very clean and comfortable. Would absolutely recommend!

Westwood cottage was a lovely place to stay. It suited our needs because we were doing winery visits and there is many on that side of NOTL. It isn't walking distance to the main part of town if that is important but it is very close. It had everything we needed and lots of space to be comfortable. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Nice comfortable cottage. Clean and well appointed. Located on the edge of town a short walk to the lake, and walkable to town. Parking for 2 cars. Owner was promptly responsive to questions and helpful when needed . We could have stayed longer and would happily return. Thanks,

We really enjoyed the cottage and the location. We met so many nice people and a short walk to the lake revealed a spectacular sunset. We would definitely rent again and recommend to others.

Honestly the property was excellent. One thing we would note is that the beds were squeaky/noisy so a bit tough getting a good sleep.
property was in a perfect location. Very clean and perfect for our group!

Not a lot of negative aspects to this place. We would recommend it to others as well as go back! The few things are really minor. Bed mattresses need to be replaced. They we’re creaking at every movement. A few additional things seem to be missing to make our stay more comfortable: Kleenex, coasters and table mats (the tables were wood and we were afraid to damage them), beach towels.
Location was great, with proximity to a park and Lake Ontario. Beautiful backyard. Great for enjoying a nice meal outside. BBQ available was a plus. The house was clean, great layout and washrooms were beautiful.
