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.).

Our host, Jan, was wonderful. She is very welcoming, friendly and helpful. She assisted us with recommendations when we asked. Jan arrived at our apartment each morning with a tasty, hot breakfast to start our day. The apartment is spacious, full of light, and very comfortable. We wish we had booked our stay longer.

Jan was warm and friendly and provided us with a lot of information on the area - what to see and where to eat. Jan cooked us a delicious breakfast every morning too. There was so much to do in Rotorua. Highly recommend the Polynesian Spa.

Jan was a superb host. She was really friendly and welcoming. Her breakfasts set us up really well for each day's activities. The apartment was spacious, spotlessly clean, well equipped and felt like a home from home. Jan's local knowledge helped us choose some excellent restaurants. The garden was great for sitting in the sunshine and relaxing at the end of a busy day. If our travels take us to Rotorua again, we would love to stay with Jan again!

Jan is a wonderful host and we had a lovely stay in her place. From her friendly greeting to her delicious cooked breakfasts to her great local advice, this was one of our best stays in a long holiday. Her place is comfortable, spacious and has great facilities and you are made to feel like a friend of Jan's as soon as you arrive. We would definitely stay there again if we revisited Rotorua

United StatesMy husband and I stayed here 3 nights and were very impressed with both the property and Jan, the host. The place looks brand new and is quite roomy, quiet and comfortable, and Jan was extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfasts were tasty and the B&B was in easy driving distance of major sights as well as downtown restaurants. The fresh roses on the table were a nice touch.

SingaporeWe stayed at Jan’s for 3 nights. Jan is a gracious and warm host with great recommendations on where to visit. It’s clear that Jan takes pride in hosting guests - the home is beautiful, comfortable, clean and well maintained. The bed is very comfortable and the home is very well-equipped with high quality cookware and branded appliances. There’s also a library stocked with books, magazines, and board games. This bnb is also really convenient- just a short drive away from the main area in Rotorua. Despite the proximity to town, it’s situated along a quiet road in a residential area so it’s pretty quiet and we had a restful time after busy days of exploring. We’d love to return one day and will definitely stay at Jan’s!

This place was so easy to find, even though it was dark when we arrived. Jan, our hostess, made us feel welcome, and we settled in for a very comfortable night's sleep. The living area, separate from the bedroom, made so much sense as one of us had some work to catch up on. The hot breakfast Jan served us was very welcome. She is warm, caring and very helpful and introduced us to her lovely garden. We had an early start the next day and she happily agreed to serve us an early breakfast to save us time. This place is in a quiet and charming neighbourhood yet is so central. We had a car and drove around, but the beach is close by and has many dining options.
