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 StatesThe only complaint would be shower too gentle, not adjustable, and no enough towel racks/hooks.
Clean comfortable studio with full sized fridge, stove/oven, dishwasher, microwave etc.. Equipped with dishes, pots, pans, utensils, table for two, cleaning supplies. Clean bathroom and ample linens. Bed very comfortable. Blackout curtains, minimal noise from street or other guests. Very secure entry, especially at night. Convenient garage parking. Excellent location for sights, restaurants, groceries.

CanadaParking , although it is right there under the hotel, is a tight fit with crazy turns. Not suitable for a larger vehicle.
This is an exceptional facility. We were very pleased with the extras- shelving, hooks, lots of seating and very comfortable beds. The area was reasonably quiet for a good night's sleep. We will definitely book again with sonder Rideau.

Overall, we were very pleased with our stay at Sonder Rideau. The room was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with everything we needed for a pleasant stay. Pros: Cleanliness: The room was impeccably clean, both upon check-in and throughout our stay. Internet: Wi-Fi worked perfectly, without any interruptions or disconnections. Amenities: The room had everything we needed for our stay, including dishes, a kettle, a hairdryer, a refrigerator, etc. All equipment was in working order. Staff: The hotel staff was friendly and courteous, always ready to help.

United StatesThe only downside is that my room doesn't offer a nice view.
It's incredibly comfortable and has everything you need for cooking, which is very important to me. Cleanliness is also a top priority, and this place is a 10/10 in that regard. The bed is also wonderfully cozy.

CanadaThe shower wasn't the cleanest but it was still better than other hotels I have been too. The gym was also a bit lacking. Most of the machines (treadmills, ellipticals, and the one bike) were turned off at least once. The pully on the weight machine also snapped mid workout.
I had never heard of Sonder before and I am so glad I tried their hotel. The location was great! Near all the tourist attractions, University of Ottawa, the Rideau Centre, and tons of food options on Elgin. The O-Train wasn't too far. All the staff were super friendly. Security was also top notch. As a solo female traveller I felt so safe even being downtown. My friends who visited were also very impressed.
