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.).

CanadaExceptional breakfast was offered (salmon, tuna, meats and cheeses, fruits, pastries, eggs, bacon, yogurts, juices) and thoughtfully presented. The hotel is doing a lot to recover and it shows. They've added private saunas and a hot tub. The rooms are big and dated, but the beds were comfortable and the linens were crisp and clean. The staff were lovely! I highly recommend the restaurant onsite. They had a 7 course tasting meal when we were there and my expectations were exceeded!

CanadaIt was -22 at night on the weekend that we went so space heaters were deployed in the restaurant. The food was excellent but got cold quickly as it was a little chilly in the room. The staff were friendly and helpful and went out of there way to accommodate special requests. We will definitely return.
The included breakfast was amazing. We found upon arrival that there was more to do than we expected, outdoor hot tub and barrel saunas have been recently added.

CanadaWindermere is a beautiful spot with friendly staff, great food and awesome views. We were disappointed that the pub was not open when we were there. It opens on the Thursday and we arrived on the Tuesday. We have stayed at Windermere before and have sat outside on the pubs patio. Will make sure it’s open on our next visit.

United StatesThere are a few aspects around the edges that could use some love, for instance the separate stone staircase that is nearest the marina is not weeded or kept up. Things like that. Drinks took a while because the bartendar was new/training, but that's the sort of staffing issue you'll find all over these days.
Windermere is the class of Muskoka if you're looking for a getaway at a boutique hotel. Large by that standard, it has very good facilities. A well-run restaurant with very good food, also a pub operating Thu-Sun, an integrated spa, and there's a golf course across the street. Of course you have the lake and can get out on there with hotel kayaks or rent a boat and so forth. The hotel is in an old style but due to a movie filming mishap, is new from the ground up. Which means it has the feel of a classic old place, and yet has modern amenities and structure, so the rooms are very quiet. Beds very comfortable with nice linens.

CanadaThe room was uninspiring and not worth the nightly rate. The bed was very uncomfortable. We had a garden view room through the tiniest of windows, which meant there was very little natural light in the room. The bathroom was clean, but the water pressure in the shower was awful. The window sill in the bathroom was directly in the spray of the shower where you could see water damage and mould. The room didn’t even have a mini fridge to keep water cold on a particularly hot weekend.
Restaurants and main facilities were nice and well maintained. We enjoyed being able to borrow kayaks one morning. Staff were friendly and helpful, but not consistent in wearing masks throughout the property.

CanadaThere should not be such a high corkage fee for bringing your own wine to the table. That is a definite discouragement.
The location was the best. We enjoyed the water craft and the amenities that Lake Roseau has to offer.
