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...).

PhilippinesThey did not have a fan available, it got too warm. The floors were noisy and creaky. If you’re a light sleeper, this place is not for you
Middle of Motueka and the Live music was cool and fun. Room rate was affordable and good enough to sleep in.

New ZealandShared toilets and showers could be cleaner. The rooms were a bit small, and I missed having a kitchen facility to prepare meals. With a few improvements, this place could be even more enjoyable for guests.
Perfect location in the center of Motueka, close to shops and other facilities. The live music created such a great atmosphere, and the staff were incredibly responsive and kind, making the experience even better.

New ZealandBathroom facilities...... Not too flash eh No shelf space for shampoos, soap etc... No room for clothes. It's an expensive area to improve, but, it would 100% improve your guests stay enjoyment. No doubt you guys know this. Was a bit unnerving hearing some of your other guests? patrons, talking about a fight incident on your your premises. Squeaky floorboards outside bedrooms are a bit noisy. All the best for the future and I will be staying again.
Really nice, friendly, helpful staff. Room was comfortable and clean, carpet was clean? shampooed recently? I didn't notice anything obvious, it's just when you see carpet of that age and style, it makes me wonder. Your hotel building is a gem. Thanks for hospitality.

New ZealandInternet did not reach my room. Would have to sit out on verandah for better reception. The hand towel in the bathroom didn’t get changed at all in the three days that I was there. The hardwood floors were covered in mats that felt really dirty on bare feet. Pillows were very flat.

New ZealandSuper disappointed with my stay. At $118 a night it was a disgrace. Basic cleanliness was not met, the basin in the room had not been cleaned from the previous occupant and the bed sheets reeked of urine. The fridge in the room did not work and the electrical fittings were lose and broken. It was advertised live music for Friday night, I stayed on a Thursday and instead was kept awake until 2am with live music in the bar below, then proceeded with drunk guests stumbling and shouting outside my room until 3am. I can’t describe how disgusting the shared bathroom was. I would expect a refund for my stay

New ZealandPaper cups for coffee and tea. Thought loud music would finish at a decent hour not 2am... Large spiderweb above window. No fridge supplied for guests supplies, milk etc. Alarms sounding at early hours for no particular reason...twice! Ignored by management when checking in, asked to wait while they conversed with patrons in the bar/gambling room.

NOTHING!! This hotel was a rundown doss house and I’m surprised you even advertise it on booking.com The bed linen was clean and there was hot water. The landlady who was trying to run the place was lovely and friendly and worked hard but the property was so dilapidated that it was impossible for her to cope.
