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 ZealandRoom I was in needed an upgrade, very small. Outside light on overnight shone right into bedroom space. Whilst I acknowledge this has to stay on for security reasons it could be a downlight.

AustraliaA balcony would have been nice to sit and stare at the mountain. There is a pub across the road which was noisy and we had to keep our windows open for fresh air as there was no air con. Noise finished by 10pm, so it wasn't a big problem.
Excellent location and we opened our curtains from our first floor room to the beautiful Franz Josef Glacier which was stunning. Room quite large, but without balcony. Comfortable room with enough space for a two night stay.

CanadaIt is a bit pricey.
Room is large, and I particularly like the long bench which can serve a a sofa, or just a bench to place your open luggage(s)/bags. There is 1 double bed and a single bed. Breakfast is buffet style and busy as they cater to tour groups. Location excellent, short walking 3-5 min to other restaurants/shops/tour companies on the Main Street (Hwy 6).

United KingdomCommunal corridors, stairs and balconies appear dated, which gives the Impression maybe not as clean as the rooms were themselves. This appears to be a large hotel complex. So maybe some areas are more up to date than others. It seems expensive for what it us, but maybe that’s because of the area. The room was clean and bed comfortable.
Bed was comfortable, good location, room was clean, friendly staff and close to restaurants and parking available

United StatesThis hotel reminded me of a Best Western hotel in the U.S. that hadn't been renovated for past 20 years. The chairs in the room had stains on them. Property is right across from the helicopter pad, which reves up every morning at 8 a.m. sharp.
the staff at the front desk were very helpful and gracious. very close to restaurants and grocery--so that was super convenient. They also had bikes you could use.

AustraliaMy request for two rooms close together was not met. However we had the end rooms in each wing which gave more privacy so it was not a big issue Also the plumbing in room 214 gargled all the time when water was flowing from other units' toilets / handbasins There were no chairs on the balcony of room 201 I would have assumed the bed configuration standard would be a double and a single, not 3 singles
