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 ZealandWas unable to book direct and was directed to make our booking on booking.com, and when we needed assistance regarding our booking, we were told they couldn't help with our questions and were told to wait to discuss at check-in as they couldn't pull up our booking. On arrival, the room wasn't ready as we were slightly early, only to find there was no toilet available after our big dive. The cleaning staff that we did see were nice and friendly 😊
The location was great. Walking distance to the city and we were able to enjoy the walk to the casino

TaiwanThe online customer service responded slowly and perfunctorily. The washing machine was broken and only produced hot water. I contacted the counter and online customer service staff but still couldn't solve the problem. As a result, my clothes were damaged.
The diverse facilities make you feel like home.

New Zealandunfortunately the air conditioning wasnt working properly. A cooling machine was provided but was pretty useless. Also we were only allowed one key which was needed for entry to the building plus the lift, so one person couldnt stay in the room if power required or go out separately etc.
Good location = was able to walk to the viaduct and sky city. Great shower. Nice clean apartment

New ZealandUnfortunately, the after hours service after 5pm was literally nonexistant. Just after checking in, the laundry machine broke halfway through forcing us to call the after hours emergency number (only number available). We were told nothing could be done until the morning (we were checking out in the morning). Didn't really want to spend almost $400 to handwash laundry for a couple hours for a one night stay. On the morning of the checkout, the receptionist had no idea what had happened either until we told her, so there's no communication among staff.
Coming here on New Year's Eve, there was an excellent view of the Skytower from the balcony.

New ZealandThe apartment smelled like mould from the second we opened the door, this smell of mildew and mould stayed and kept getting more noticeable, the fan in the bathroom does not work yet there is a dryer and no ventilation. The soap was heavily diluted with water about 70% I would say and sprayed everywhere upon using, it was also bright blue so this was disappointing going all over white clothes just before heading out. The toilet was actually disgusting, there is a thick 3 inch rim of black mould and dirt stained, this would need to be sandpapered off I hate to think how long this toilets been neglected of a proper clean. Both mornings but especially the last I woke up feeling sick/nauseated and all I could smell was mould I actually threw up from the overwhelming smell. when you take a shower the bathroom becomes saturated with water all over the walls/floor. I was also emailed by quest asking me to write a positive review for them and them telling me “by the way we are refurbishing in 36 months so please give us a positive review” this indicates to me they know full well that room was not adequate for guests to be staying in.
The location was great.

New ZealandShabby dodgy entrance next to graffiti on vape shop boarded up as windows broken. Opposite city mission, area doesn't feel safe after 11pm. Bed was 5/10 for comfort. No duvet just one blanket...sheets clean. Bathroom clean, shower powerful and hot, but hung crooked and sprayed the wall not the centre of the cubicle. Couldn't correct it. In bathroom was a washing machine and drier. Very handy, didn't check if they worked, but heard someone else checking out saying theirs didn't work. Staff didn't seem too interested. No heater in bathroom and extractor fan not working. No window to let out steam, so after 4 nights had become quite stale. Airpump in bedroom not working. No heating. Used pump to circulate air with door open. No windows that could be opened in room. So room became airless at night. As other reviews state, decor, carpets and bedding old and tired. Place needs a make over. Very little effort made to present this property. Cleaners are doing their best to make it habitable. Overall not satisfactory. Will not return.
Great location for city centre...but..., staff friendly, not sure they would resolve any issues though. Quiet building.
