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.).

CanadaThe kitchen was a bit too small and the staff were pretty stand-offish when approached. Otherwise it was a good vibe.
The property was very well kept, clean and comfortable. It was also in a great spot. They had pretty much everything needed.

United StatesVery few restaurant/ take away options within walking distance. On-site restaurant had limited options and no self service. Pods became quite warm and internal fans weren’t efficient to cool. Slept with open pod during the night so privacy was compromised by heat.
Location is excellent for bus service from AKL and for highways 1 and 16. IMMACULATE facilities. Comfortable beds, nice employees who accommodated special requests. Pods have one USB outlet and one C cable outlet and two NZ standard outlets. Facility is VERY safe with card opening floor, room, bath, and large locker. Shelves, refrigerator and freezer for food storage and pots, pans and utensils provided. Great value,

New ZealandA 24 Hour access to the Snacks vending machine will be great. An optimum room temperature of 18-19 degrees especially during the challenging summer conditions will go a long way in ensuring a sound sleep; An optimum room ventilation would help the occupants bring down the temperature to a larger extent from the prevailing temperature of 26-28 degrees, which is a health hazard and will help us avoid keeping the room's door open during the night, which itself is a nuisance ( Occupants of 4 other rooms next to my room 119 had to keep their door open during the night to ensure an optimum ventilation). The above can be expected out of the most expensive hostel in the country or else the whole purpose of it being an accommodation facility is defeated if we cannot get a sound sleep.
Location Staff Amenities Well built modern infrastructure Probably one of the best in the country.
