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 start wasn't good with the car drop off jammed full and taxis blocking the entrance. Then check involved queing with a line marked like in an airport. Not what i expect at a quality hotel. Staff were good, though, and welcoming. The next morning, in the daylight, there was blood splatter on the wall by the door to the adjoining room. I reported this but just got told, "Thank you for letting us know, I will let housekeeping know," but no apology for something that was actually really unhygienic. Also, i had tried to use the website to view Chuan prices and treatments but kept getting package deals. As I had already booked the accommodation I left it. Unfortunately, on arrival, I found all slots were booked. I was unable to book massages or facials, which was disappointing. Similarly, with afternoon tea, there was no mention on the website that I saw that this needed to be booked in advance, so we were unable to have high tea. Overall, it is a very mixed bag, great staff, and comfort, but website, booking, and check-in processes were poor. Cleanliness was very substandard and not addressed satisfactorily. I understand that an issue like this could be missed by housekeeping, but it wasn't actually OK.
Staff were and tried hard to make poor check-in work. The room was very comfortable with an excellent bed..

New ZealandIt was very busy. I tried 4 times to get through to Room service to make an order. I ended up ringing reception however and placing my order through them and it arrived very quickly and was delicious.
The rooms were a great size, so many activities and really catered for families.

New ZealandThe reason I chose the cordis was because they had a bath. And ran the bath soon as we got there. Got in and it drain out to not even half way. So filled it again and it drained out again not impressed the whole reason I booked cordis. Kept doing this every time I filled it. The whole point of having a bath is to have ya body in the bath to soak and relax. Turns out the baths were designed to drain out like that as a "safety " feature. Not happy about that at all. Apparently they are changing that so u can fill bath an have it stay full one bath at a time. But doesn't change the fact it put a damper on our stay.
It was beautiful and service was great

New ZealandThe room was not very clean, there were smears on the walls and door in the bathroom and hair all over the floor. Our room was handicap accessible which we didn't need luckily because the towels were very high off the ground and unreachable for a disabled person. I'd called requesting a thin blanket and some firm pillows in the room which were not there. Our steak dinner that we ate in the room was very overcooked and small for the price. We also could not get a drop of hot water for a shower but the bath got warm enough to bathe the baby.
The staff were all very nice. Valet service was prompt and staff were really helpful when we requested someone take out bags down to the car. Concierge was very kind to help me find a quiet place in the lobby to nurse the baby.

New ZealandInspector was still in room when we checked in. He apologized and left. Everything was ok until 12 hours after checkout, when we received a second invoice and were charged for 4 mini bar items we did not consume. Calling/emailing the hotel has not proven helpful in getting a refund. Still ongoing 2 weeks later....

United KingdomWhat I booked and what I got were very different. There was no balcony for one thing which was assured on the booking, and no free parking as they also said. I was also overcharged for the room and had to ring the hotel days later to get the refund. Staff were unapologetic on all fronts - guess it happens a lot!
It was clean.

GermanyAbsolute shambles - ignored communication before arrival, terrible service at check in, air con broken - room was freezing all night. WiFi wasn't working. Advised to park in a building which ended up not being allowed for overnight parking, had to retrieve the car at full cost to us and then pay the valet parking. We ended up leaving very early in the morning. Tried to talk to staff about the situation at checkout, dealt with a friendly staff member but no follow up until now. Very disappointed.
