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.).

United StatesRoom arrangement allowed only one bedside table. Lighting was inadequate in some parts of the room. Heating/cooling fluctuated between too much and not enough and required frequent readjustment.
Location was excellent, right in the middle of everything. Historic charm draws us back every year. Staff is wonderful - helpful, courteous, responsive to their guests' needs.

The location was fantastic—very convenient to the 4 Stratford theatres. The room was comfortable, and there were amenities on par with the finest hotels. It was pleasant and convenient to have a restaurant on-site. I was pleasantly surprised there was an elevator too!

CanadaNO complaints.
NO breakfast available -- that would have made our stay even better. But the coffee in the lobby was of exceptional quality. Closest breakfast/brunch we found was at Bentley's, always an enjoyable meal there. The rooms were very comfortable and quiet too. Your staff was really friendly and helpful. We always eat at least one meal at the Boar's Head Pub and enjoy the food there too. The location made it easy to walk to all three theatres where we had tickets.

CanadaIt is a very old hotel I think 1850 or 60. But I enjoy the character of these historic buildings. I would say it's a tiny bit tired. But in keeping with its history.
Location could not have been better. It was right downtown. On the main Street of Stratford Ontario. Within walking distance of all amenities, wonderful restaurants, cafes, and a short walk to the theater.

CanadaAmazing location, located right downtown, and easily able to walk to restaurants, shops, parks, theatres, the river, etc. The room was clean and nice, and the staff were all extremely friendly (let us check in early, and kept our bags for us after we checked out as our train wasn't until the evening).

CanadaThe dining room was not available when we wanted to eat, but the hotel is attached to a pub which was open and had good food. So it was really no problem. Also if you need the elevator, be sure you get a room on the same level as the elevator, since the hotel has a split level with some of the rooms.
I have stayed in several hotels and inns in Stratford over the years and this one had the best location. It's a little old, but unlike many of the older hotels, it had an elevator which was important for me. I don't walk well, but the location is so good it was easy to walk to all the theatres and the downtown shopping. This meant I did not have to drive once we booked into the hotel, and that I could have a drink in the intermission of the plays. The staff was friendly and helpful. I will definitely book here again.

Staff very helpful, rooms were unique, bed very comfortable! Excellent location for walking to shops and restaurants. Also convenient having the Boars Head connected.

United StatesThe shower was a little bit difficult to get the temperature right and consistent. But that did not negatively impact the space that much and it was really nice in general.
The location was amazing; it was walking distance to all the main spots in the really cute town. The check in process was easy and the staff was incredibly kind. The facilities were on the older side, but everything was clean and well maintained. The room was a good size and the bed was comfortable. After the front desk goes home and they lock the front door, there is a code for you to get in for security, but there is also always a person there you can call if you need something.
