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...).

Great facilities, and when I had to leave earlier, they returned the money for the dates I wasn't staying with very little notice. This was much appreciated and not something I requested, so very nice if them to have done so.

United KingdomYou need meals on sale with more vegetables - perhaps some salads. I ended up going to Subway round the corner a few times as I could get a more balanced choice of proteins and vegetables and it was MY choice. No pies available at all. I struggled with the use of my phone for so much, including checking-in. I couldn't work out how to scan the bar code so was unaware of all the facilities and extras and it seemed the only way to find out without asking. I am of an age where we do not rely on phones and prefer paper copies of everything. However the staff were excellent in looking things up for me. I really panicked over leaving my luggage for a week at Lylo and I was charged a staggering £1,503.62 (NZD 3,000) by Elocker Ltd for it in error. The only notification I had of this was by checking my credit card statement online. Fortunately, again, by checking my credit card statement online I saw it was quickly reinstated with £1,484,26 (2,970 NZD) paid in but the amounts appeared on separate statements so, since getting back to the UK, I have had to check with the bank (in person) to make sure the second amount is taken into account when I pay the first otherwise I would have been out of pocket until the end of June when this second payment was due.
Preparing my own food and plenty of storage for it. Was there breakfast? I must have missed it despite staying at Lylo for 9 nights in total! No window in my private room but a better view than I probably would have had with the rooftop camera linked to the large TV screen in my room. I grew to thoroughly enjoy watching the changes throughout the day. The 'quiet' area on the second floor was a real find and great to relax in. I was really impressed with Lylo and I would definitely come again. So much thought had gone into it and it was certainly an improvement on your Juicy Snooze in Christchurch (which was good but not as good as Auckland). If wanted, there was a programme of entertainment in the evenings in the bar area - which was also open to the public. Great idea.
