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 ZealandWe could have had longer time away available ...lol, But Maybe next time. We used an outside chair ( plastic ) for my wife to sit in the shower, maybe a stool of sorts in the shower would be cool, if someone is disabled... having said that , it is not a complaint, merely a suggestion .
The breakfast options were very good. A nice selection of spreads , and choice of what type of breakfast. The bed was very comfortable and the unit very warm . Everything was very clean and the "Rain" shower was pretty cool. Outside was pleasant to sit and have a coffee, in sight of nice gardens. The location was very cool, nice and quiet and pretty.

United KingdomNothing to complain about. I only stayed one night but It would have been a great place to stay for a week. I was driving and cycling so I got to see the area. I’d have liked to spend longer but time didn’t permit. I’d definitely stay there again if I return to Napier.
Breakfast was excellent, as described, cereal, juice, tea, coffee, bread and home made muffin. The host is super, friendly, helpful and considerate. Cant fault my experience. Very happy I chose to stay.

New ZealandBed was a bit small (only a double) for two so partner slept in the other single bed. Beds were also a bit soft for our liking. Not totally awful though.
Lovely little apartment in a quiet & convenient location, much better than most of the commercial motels in town. Lisa provided us with very generous breakfast offerings and even catered to my allergies, much appreciated. Bathroom & shower were excellent.

JapanIt was no big deal for us as we ate out, but don’t plan to cook in this unit. There are no facilities to wash dishes but this is no problem as the host will take the box of dirty dishes and wash them for you.
It was quiet and safe and has good parking. The room was more spacious than a motel room and has an outdoor patio area. It’s a short drive from the town center but there is no hassle of trying to park your car or dealing with the noises of the city. The breakfast provided was a great bonus also. Oh yeah, Lisa the host is pretty cool.
