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.).

CanadaI would have liked an option of breakfast on site. A few coat hangers in the room would have been good. I'm not sure if the lighting in front of the mirror was available, but I didn't need it then. Thicker toilet paper would have been appreciated. I didn't need the refrigerator this time, but I'm glad there was one if I'd needed it, as I had heard that there would be none this summer.
I found the room temperature very good. There was lots of room to put my things, including a mirror which was great. Everything was exceptionally clean in the room and the bathroom; liked there was soap container there at the sinks. The toilet tissue was too thin, but I expected that from staying at Wilson Hall before. The mattress was quite thin, but not uncomfortable. There was no food service at this time, but commercial ones not too far to walk. I thought everything was great for the price it cost! I only stayed 1 night because my bus to get home out of town that night had been cancelled. I had stayed at Wilson Hall for a week at a time twice before, in 2013 and 2016, as well as 1 night I needed to stay in town about that year..

CanadaRooms were a bit far from the shared bathrooms, the electronic keys were a bit fiddly to use (didn't always scan on the first try), and the windows were super dirty (on the outside - practically opaque). The air conditioning system was missing some of the top grates for the vents. The mattresses (plastic covered) made a lot of noise whenever you shifted your weight/rolled over. The on-site coffee shop was closed (for renovation), but there are local coffee shops that did the job.
Hotel location was great for a U of T-related visit, room was spacious, air conditioning was set at good temperature and it created a pleasant white background noise for sleeping. Since it's normally a dorm, staying there is more like staying at a hostel than at a hotel, so dial back your comfort expectations. But generally a clean and functional place to stay. The listing just mentions towels and bed linens, but they did also provide pillows.

CanadaParking is a problem. The overnight they proposed was several blocks away, and not at all as described. The time allowed ended at 6 am. To renew one needed to be there at 6 am. We just took a chance. Worked out for us. Best perhaps to look for a more professional parking operation.

CanadaThe bed was definitely a little rough, not terrible but not great by any means. Only a communal fridge which I didn't feel safe leaving my beer in, just not trusting. Ended up making a make shift ice bath. Overall good place, especially for solo travel.
Amazing location, right on spadina and the street car will take you right downtown/past Kensington market. Very secure building, easy to get in and out of. Communal washrooms but super clean and always stocked. Definitely worth the price, and they take visa debit card so no credit was required which is definitely a huge plus!
