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.).

It would be nice if there is a washing machine and dryer for a longer stay. Nevertheless, it was perfect.
We love how smooth the check in process was. And the house has an ample parking space, so we do not have to worry about where to park our car. The host is very well-prepared to accept us as their guest, where all the equipments, kitchen utensils and extra blankets were prepared beforehand.

Having an actual wall and door on the second bedroom would be better. My son found the lack of soundproofing in his bedroom difficult.
I found the place spacious and very clean. I appreciated the extra things like the toothbrush/toothpaste, shampoo in the shower, and the TV was great.

Due to it being a basement apartment there was noticeably considerable noise from the upstairs residence. Due to the unseasonable weather at the time the rooms needed heating up however the "ROOM HEATERS" ONLY GAVE OUT COLD AIR:)
Ease to get to as its barley a 5 min walk to the #25 bus taking one straight to Blair station. Full kitchen is helpful as there aren't that many restaurants in the area. Host was very accommodating

Some repair/renovation work needed to give it more of a five star feel, but the price was very reasonable so I don’t want sound like I’m complaining. We got good value for what we paid.
The apartment was spacious and clean. Was well equipped with kitchen amenities, hair dryer, iron, vacuum cleaner, etc. Also liked that it was smoke free and pet free. No allergy issues for me.

The light on the wall in one of the bedrooms was not working. I wanted to leave that light on as a night light since I had a baby.
The apartment was spacious and equipped with essential amenities. It was nice to find extra blankets for I felt cold with just one layer. It was great to have a kitchen with a kettle and a microwave.

Nothing, really.
We hosts were very nice. Glad we got to meet them. Apartment had plenty of space for the five of us We didn't spend much time in the apartment. Most if the time, we were out and about. There's a Starbucks and supermarket nearby. Drug store around the corner. Bus line (#15) to Parliament leaves from behind the house. 15 min car ride into downtown Ottawa. Very good value for money.
