Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

CanadaThe mattress was not good. There was no temperature control in the room, room was very cold with air conditioning consistently on 24 hours a day. No utensils for use in the kitchen common area.
Good central downtown location, very accessible through public transit.

United States of AmericaThe kitchen was definitely lacking of basic stuff to help the cooking. You cannot expect non student coming for less then a month to buy their pan or any other utensils.
Having a pretty clean room with everything I need: a desk, a bed and a big shelf. Good location in Toronto with a lot of transportation options around. Very clean and quiet.

United KingdomWashrooms are oldish and lacking hooks for towels & clothes. If you wish to cook, need to bring kitchenware/tableware. Curtain partially seethrough, bring your eye mask if you want to sleep longer (passed 5h30 in the morning) during Summer.
Great & calm area, with streetcar 510 (tramway) stop in front of the building, and 2 stops away from subway line 2. Found a supermarket nearby 15-min walk. Room with a decent size.

CanadaThe bathrooms and kitchen are communal and could have been cleaner. Not a comfortable accommodation for more than one or two persons or older folks or long term stays .
I loved and appreciated the late check in time and the fact they provided a towel soap and blanket. Check in was very easy. The location was fantastic. Staff was very friendly and professional. No multiple key cards or fobs required. Clean sheets and clean room. Temperature was perfect (it’s centrally controlled). The price of the rooms was great too.

GermanyYou pay for no frills, but as a summer guest, a kettle would be a welcome addition! But there is a ton of cafes nearby
The room was a decent size for a student dorm and it and all the communal areas were very clean. Great to have a laundry room, as I'm travelling for a couple of months being able to wash and dry clothes for just $1 a load was awesome. The location is great, a streetcar stop right outside takes you downtown and it's a fairly easy connection to the airport

CanadaThe washroom was a little untidy. I probably wouldn’t use the showers without flip flops on. I was a little cool during the night. I could’ve use some advice on nearby food services.
The price point and proximity to the downtown core were excellent. Simple room that meet all my needs. The wifi, spacious desk and security were all appealing.

Franceshared bathroom. this is a no no for me and don't like it. This is the only negative thing this about this place that makes my reconsider booking a room here for a next time. If the room were bathroom en suite, this place would deserve an 8. also sometimes hydroalcoholic gel and paper towel were missing in our floor, which was a bit inconvenient but it's okay.
There were no breakfast facilities unfortunately, but the residence is well maintained, facilities are clean, room is very clean. Plus my room was warmed up by the sun which was very enjoyable. The residence is very nice and clean.

United KingdomMy first room had a great view over toronto, the second, this time, had all of the A/C vents for the surrounding university vuildings and bars. Far noisier night and notably more light coming through the blind that didn't allow the room to go dark.
Well located right next to a tram stop, and easily accessed.

CanadaThe shower water didn’t go very hot which was uncomfortable, but I was also showering quite early so I don’t know if that made a difference. Also the pillows were awful! So uncomfortable, making it hard to sleep.
I liked how secure the building and rooms were, especially as a female solo traveller.

CanadaThe room was incredibly hot and the A/C machine didn’t work that well, if at all. The hallways and common room were very well-ventilated and always cold, but the room had south-facing windows and got a lot of sun during the day, which made it really hot at night.
The location was very accessible since it is so close to Spadina Station and the 510/310 streetcar line. The amenities were bare bones (which I expected) but I appreciated that they gave me a towel.
