Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

New ZealandBest rooms were booked out had to accept a lesser standard room but it was my choice - potential guests should be aware that the accommodation is more like basic back packers - walk down hallway to toilet shower lounge and tea making facilities.
The location was great - in the middle of town next to a supermarket able to walk to any cafe sights - great to sit on the upperbalcony and watch the worldgoby.

New ZealandThe night bar lady short hair very rude, obviously it was our first time staying and headed back to our room not quiet understanding how to get back to the main stairway inside, we obviously opened the wrong door by accident and was yelled at by her to outside and go in that way. Also upon arrival we asked 2 different staff where we go to check in, one said go to the other bar we then was told by another staff that he was just a cook and couldn't help.
Location, Room clean tidy friendly concierge Mike

United KingdomYou need to be prepared for a bit of noise if you have a front room, with people out on the terrace in front both late evening and early morning. The facilities and decor are a bit of a throwback to hotels of 50 years ago and are in need of modernisation.
It's a great location right in the centre of Raglan, with several bars which were very lively on the Friday night we arrived. Although the room was small the beds were comfortable.

AustraliaCheck in a bit confused and unclear instructions at check in. Location ok, not easy walking distance from town or check in location. Some lack of privacy - not apparent from booking that the studio is a flat downstairs from someone else’s home. Not much soundproofing.
rooms and beds fine, clean.
