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...).

New ZealandI have stayed in quite a few five stars hotels around the world and this is the dirtiest one I’ve ever stayed in. There were used toilet papers in the toilet; one of the slippers was used and half hidden under the bed (I brought my own anyway so that’s ok for me). It didn’t bother me much until I saw pubic hair and some unidentifiable stuff on the bed sheet. I doubt they have changed the sheets and would recommend people staying in this hotel to bring their own bed sheets, duvet cover and pillow cases. I couldn’t bother to tell the staff because we have already changed the room. The room we were given initially had an empty water bottle with half open lid sitting on the chair. I mentioned this to the receptionist when I went down to ask for something else. The staff was nice and friendly, he changed another room for us but it was even worser.

New ZealandThe reception staff gave us a superior room for disabled people (room 702 in the corner) when we first checked in. It looked totally different than the deluxe lake view room I booked so we went back to the reception. They then arranged us to room 706 which looked like the room I booked. However, there was no bath mat and there was only one face towel in the room. In the second morning the power was off after we used the kettle. I just showered and found the hairdryer not working because of the power. I tried to call the staff via the desk phone but there was no power too. I then had to get dressed and go downstairs with my wet hair to let them know the situation. They went upstairs with me to the 7th floor and reset the power from other side of the room. Besides, after we washed hands with the provided hand wash, the bubbles started to show up from the floor drain.
Excellent location and comfortable bed. The AC is quiet too.

ChinaI hope that the rooms will be arranged from the upper floors to the lower floors, not from the lower floors. The superior king-size bed room I booked was arranged on the 3rd floor, but I was only arranged on the 5th floor after I was told.

AustraliaThe staff are not good. We paid for two breakfast but the staff refused my 12 years old son have breakfast alone and said they must confirm with the adult and just let my son wait outside the restaurant. This is not professional and not acceptable. And the manager said they will not charge us for that breakfast but they still charged me when I checked out.
The location is good and the room is comfortable.

New ZealandBad service attitude, dirty room, many excuses. Not recommended for family trip who go with their baby or child. Booked room and cot that confirmed are still subjected to availability without writing terms and conditions to let customers know. No hotel staff were even trying to help on solving the problem. They were only busy on clarifying NOT their responsibility.
