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.).

CanadaEverything was perfect!
We stayed here with my family for a couple days and that was the best experience! Owners are really really nice, they were a big help. The apartment is beautiful, clean and comfortable. A good location, bus stops are 2-3 min from apartment, easy to get to the town. We’re definitely going to stay here more whenever we’ll be in Toronto again!

United StatesBe advised that you need $300 cash for the deposit. I understand the purpose. For me, I now have $300 Canadian cash at the end of my trip (nothing else to spend it on). However, Ankur said I could have done $300 US, too so next time I will ask if that is workable as well.
Ankur is the kindest of hosts and super responsive as well as patient. This place was sparkly clean. Modern. It looks exactly like the photos. He had great coffee and snacks. Excellent location. It’s right next to the 501 public transportation tram line. I used Apple Pay but any tap device will work. You can safely get into downtown Toronto without a problem. I am a solo female traveler and felt safe the whole time. I liked that I was able to park my car for free. The bed is very comfortable and the fireplace was a nice touch. I will absolutely stay here every time I come back to Toronto.

The property was clean and well equipped. There is a convenience store near by for bits and bobs , and a petrol station opposite. There is a nice shore line to walk along but a bus/tram or Uber is needed to get into the city.

GermanyWe had a wonderful stay at the renovated guest suite. It was much roomier than expected, so you get a lot of space for a fair price. The suite was meticulously clean, and our hosts were super friendly and helpful. It's about 10-20 minutes by car (depending on traffic) from Toronto downtown, so keep that in mind should you be looking for accommodation more central. Close by are a lovely park and nice restaurants. Would definitely stay here again.

MauritiusThere is not much to complain. May be the distance from Toronto downtown but Uber was easy to get and except for traffic jams, it was a 15-20 minutes trip. At the same time, the distance was a guarantee of peace away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Cleanliness. The place was impeccably clean and the landlord was most welcoming and available. Reactive service. Prompt responses to messages and fast solutions found for (minor) problems. Space. It was not one of those smallish hotel rooms. You had space to stretch. Small conforts. Coffee, some snacks and other food items from the landlord made the stay more agreeable. Towels were great and there was an effort for multi-ply toilet paper of quality. Decoration. Felt cozy and welcoming. Like home.

CanadaWe loved our stay! The hosts are amazing and sweet people, very accommodating, helpful and friendly. On arrival, the host met with us and made us feel vey homely and welcoming. They gave us useful tips about amazing restaurants and places to visit. They go extra mile to make sure the guests are comfortable. The lake is 4-5 mins walk with amazing view of the downtown skyline. A block away is the famous high park. The airport is 15-20 mins ride and CN Tower is 12-15 mins ride. It was a perfect location, very central for our needs. The Suite is newly renovated with modern decor. It's very well designed with glass panels and high end finishes. The kitchen / bathroom was well equipped with all the supplies, complementary coffee, chips and was super clean. The bedroom is Huge and is designed like a 5 Star Suite with dedicated work space, closet, flat TV and fireplace. The bed is very cozy and comfortable. We loved the fireplace (with heat option) and the setup overall. It felt very Luxurious! We had a lot of privacy and felt very comfortable during our stay. The hosts live upstairs, but we didn't really hear any noise. They do have a $300.00 deposit that is returned on checkout. This was the only private host, who had low deposit requirements. Overall, it was a Great Experience and Stay! Thank you so much!

CanadaI would definitely recommend this property. It is clean and nicely renovated, the hosts are very helpful and responsive. The location is great, a couple of minutes walking from bus stops, about 40 minutes by bus/streetcar from downtown. I loved the small touches like decour pieces and books about traveling I found on the shelves. The electric fireplace is cute and functional, you can heat the room up a bit if you like warmer temperatures.

United StatesThis is a wonderful place (as we explain in more details in the "pros" part of the review later). To help future travelers, it is useful to make a few clarifications about the place. The main clarification is that there is no significant separation stopping light and sound between the basement and upper floors. Glass panels were installed at the bottom of the stairs, in the basement, but the stairs are directly connected with upper floor, without a full wall or door. So sound and light can travel freely. The hosts are wery respectful and did not walk down without first notifying us. But the bathroom and kitchen being right in front of the glass panels (stairs), you have have to be more careful, reducing somewhat our feel g of privacy. Another clarification for future traveler is that a cash deposit is required for this place. This seems to be an issue with booking.com not offering this service (handling deposits) but it was our first time in 15+ years of recent travel that we had to do a cash deposit. The cash deposit was given back at the end of the stay, but it requires more planning for check-out (and check-in) and since we received no receipt for the initial deposit, it brought more uncertainty. One smaller clarification is that heating/AC is controlled upstairs, by the hosts. They were helpful and accommodating in changing the temperature. The basement (as any basement) was colder than upper floors, and the fireplace heater from the bedroom was not able to keep a constant temperature (since the AC was still on). One last clarification (another small one) is that the bedroom window does not have any curtain or shades. We wanted to share these clarifications for future travelers, but as previously mentioned, we loved greatly the place and wanted to thank the hosts for their warm and helpful welcome.
This place is very well located, only minutes from a beautiful park next to the lake with some small beaches, playground and a long bike path. The place is nicely renovated and cleaned with a large bedroom and functional kitchen. The place is in fact the whole basement of a house, where the hosts are also living upstairs. The hosts were very welcoming, always available to help and share advice if needed.
