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 ZealandThe hotel has no parking unless you pay $49 for valet parking, where they park your car either onsite or offsite (luckily there was space in the on-site car park for us which is very small maybe 20 spaces?) The toilet and shower areas are made with like a fogged glass which is kinda see through & don’t have locks, just something to consider!
Really friendly staff and the room itself was nice and modern with a comfy bed

New ZealandI greatly dislike the trend of opaque glass toilet cubicles in hotel rooms. Unfortunately, depending on your choice of room, one will be imposed on you. Both a glass door that never actually closes (nor reaches the ceiling) and semi-transparent glass walls allowing your partner / travel companion great insights into your intimate toiletry procedures has always struck me as pointless, irritating and just a silly design fad. Also, due to the L-shape of the room the aircon was ineffective at cooling the sleeping area - another example of design over function.
Clean, modern and classy hotel with friendly staff. Like anywhere, the level of room you select determines your experience.

New Zealandthe room layout / floor plan / design was not five star, i didn't like how the bathroom was basically part of the room... i feel like bathrooms should be seperate for hygiene reasons etc.

New ZealandOne of the lift and room access cards didn't work, even after a different member of staff tried on four separate occasions over three days. Luckily we had a spare one that worked!
We liked the location because it was within walking distance to lots of restaurants and cafes. The cleanliness of the room was always at very high standard. The bed was very comfortable too.

United StatesMy room was cleaned even though I had the “do not disturb” sign on the door, which made me uncomfortable. Also, the room telephone did not work throughout my stay, and when I told the front desk, no action was taken.
The hotel was beautifully situated in the town center and within a short walking distance to Lake Rotorua. I had a magnificent view of the lake from my wall-to-wall picture window. The bathroom in the room was upscale. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
