Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The cleanliness of lifts and reception areas is not quite to expectations, but it is a busy hotel with a fair amount of traffic.
The location is superb CBD and easy walking distance to most of the Auckland CBD attractions of the Viaduct, Sky City, ferry terminal, etc. The bed was really comfortable. The gym is basic but sufficiently equipped for a shorter stay.

View was of the other side of the hotel ie internal. Being cbd I thought a sea view would be the norm. Had to close the bathroom door to turn the room lights on which was weird and difficult on arrival in the dark.
Clean and comfortable. Comfy bed. Breakfast nice. Pretty good location.

I could not hear audio on my phone, this was reported but was not fixed before my stay ended. The barman, Carl, was very rude to one our party when she queried why she hadn't received her drink and he had continued to serve and supply drinks to other guests that came after her, he told her curtly, he was busy serving guests (like she wasn't one) When he finally did bring her drink to the table he put it down very roughly without a word of apology for the delay
The rooms were very comfortable. The shower water pressure was even and easily adjustable and the bed and pillows were like sleeping on a cloud. The small coffee and snack outlet in the foyer was a definite bonus.

Hotel was in a good central location and provided comfortable amenities for a reasonable price for the centre of Auckland.

For us, nothing really. We were happy with all aspects of our stay.
Everything really! For what we were after, ie. close to Sky Tower, Weta and All Blacks experience, couldn’t have been better. Also, a short walk to harbour and viaduct area with loads of excellent bars and restaurants. Breakfast was really good, good choice and good quality. Overall a really good option for a short 2 day stopover.
