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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

New ZealandThe shower seals on the door had fallen off while I was showering so when I had finished the water had gone through to the outside onto the floor. When I checked you can see the seals have nothing to hold it to the door so when you put them on they just fall straight off again
The location was very handy and staff were very helpful!

New ZealandFridge was left iced up and would not close properly. Our milk went off as we did not realise this until day 2. Shower leaks due to the seal not covering the bottom of the door properly.
Undercover parking out of the sun. Spacious room. Easy access to Restaurants, bars and CBD.

New ZealandMy single bed was strangely on a slope. I'm a side-sleeper. One side felt uphill. The other side felt downhill and I used a spare pillow to chock myself up to a more level position. The next night I switched to the other single bed in the room. It was better but I had the same issue. I wonder if they are two singles that can be joined to make a queen bed and that somehow this undermined the bed structure. My toilet only flushed occasionally. It took several to many attempts each time. By the end of my stay I realised it would flush eventually but getting to that realisation was a bit worrisome!
I loved my own private courtyard garden. The suite looked contemporary and inviting. The fittings are of very good quality. It doesn't look cheap or dated and I was proud to invite a friend over. I am moderately fit. It was an easy 20-minute stroll to town in each direction, and to the lake-front.

FranceRéception was closed when I arrived just before noon. The cleaning team was around but they were most unhelpful. This motel is several blocks from the city center and I had to rely on myself to store my luggage. I found my room quite dark and furnished like a dentist’s waiting room. I realize a lot of NZ motels are like that but I find it depressing.
Close to a beach and opposite a convenience store and a Chinese takeaway. The room had all the basic stuff and a tiny balcony giving onto some greenery. The bathroom had no window but was cleverly separated from the bedroom by folding doors.
