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.).

NetherlandsIt's just a short 5-minute walk from the SkyTower and a 10-minute walk from the city centre. The staff's very friendly, and the check-in was easy too, especially considering you can do it in advance. The pods are just great. It's like your own little cocoon: the matress and linen are very comfy, and the pod has a nightlight, USB-outlet, mirror, and some 'pockets' for small items. There are plenty of toilets and showers, I didn't have to wait, and more importantly, they're clean! The kitchen's fully equipped and a nice place to meet others. There's also a bar on the ground floor that hosts several events weekly.

AustraliaThe dorm was quite small considering everyone has its own luggage and might be tight to walk if you are not in your bed.
I first stayed in a twin room and I loved it, very comfortable and spacious and it was super clean! Regarding the dorm, I liked the fact that beds have privacy and they were comfortable as well with lockers to keep your valuables. Even though is a big hostel there are a lot of different common areas and a bar too. Definitely recommend if you are in Auckland, walking distance to the centre.

United StatesHonestly not sure there was much I didn’t like. I guess the only thing is I was a little confused if Miss Lucy’s was open for breakfast/coffee. Some mornings they were, others they weren’t. I might’ve missed some signage but there were plenty of options near by so it wasn’t a big deal.
Having Miss Lucy’s (the bar/restaurant) right down stairs was really convenient. They always had something going on at night whether it was trivia or taco Tuesday. Laundry on site was a plus. Very easy to use and honestly cheaper than a laundromat in the US. Location was perfect. 10-15 min walk to the shops/harbor. Couple blocks from the sky tower.
