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 StatesSadly, the restaurant next door was not open in early May (so the cooking facilities were much appreciated!)
A standard motel room--a little old but with thoughtful amenities (fridg, toaster, coffee, etc) and a scenic location right on the water! Good base for driving the Cabot Trail.

CanadaNo shower curtain.. they probably forgot to put it up and it was too late to call and report. Also, even though there was a toaster, coffee maker, kettle, microwave plus refrigerator, there were no dishes or utensils. Great location and good value for the rate we paid.

CanadaCurrently (March 2024) the WiFi doesn't quite extend as far as room 8, which was of course where we were staying!
The view was lovely (although a bit misty as we were staying out of season) and it's in a nice central location.

United KingdomUnfortunately there were a couple small maintenance issues such as the shower making a weird noise when in use, and the lampshade lining being broken (the light still worked, just the lampshade).
The location is great, perfect as a jumping off point for Cape Breton and exploring the local towns, but also surprisingly peaceful for being so close to a main road. The view across the water is stunning, even on more gloomy days. Additionally, Vince and Tina were super helpful and knowledgeable about the local area, and speaking to them both was a pleasure.

AustraliaNothing. Late check- in was accommodated, area advice was exceptional, extremely clean and tidy and comfortable room.
Pleasantly suprised - was expecting a budget strip hotel and instead had extremely high level of personal service from all staff, high quality inclusions in the room and a view for morning sunrise (or evening sunset) over the water that was exception. Yes, this may appear to be a standard hotel room, but the managers have gone all out to add nice touches (types of products provided for bathrooms and kitchen) that raise the standard quite a lot

CanadaThe location of this motel is great, on the water, with great views. While the property is a bit worn, the rooms are priced accordingly and the space was comfortable. Staff was friendly and generous with information about the area, including eating spots in nearby Baddeck.

CanadaThe Bathroom need and update.
Good accommodation, very well located in the area of St Annes Bay, perfect for travelers doing the Cabot trail. The price-quality ratio is very good, the rooms and furniture are a little dated, however, nothing to worry about. The view from the rooms is dreamlike. The manager very friendly.

United StatesThis was a blast from the past as it is a motel that we don't usually get to expericence. All rooms are waterfront with big windows to enjoy. The property is older but nicely maintained and equipped with comfy beds and kitchenette. It was a great start for our trip around the Cabot Trail.

United KingdomThe facilities in the room were basic. No plates, or cutlery save for one teaspoon and the furnishings were worn and mismatched. The bed was queen size and not very comfortable. Unfortunately, there was minimal outdoor furniture facing the bay and it was not possible to sit outside and enjoy the bay view and afternoon sun which was a shame. The wooden bench and chair provided outside the entrance to each motel room had little merit.
The motel has an excellent location on the bank of St Anns Bay. It is also at the starting point of the west side of the Cabot trail. Our motel window looked directly on to the Bay. On our last afternoon, we saw a bald headed eagle alight on a nearby jetty and watched this magnificent bird for twenty minutes or more before it was disturbed and flew away. A highlight of our holiday.
