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...).

Showerhead was fixed so couldn't move it around easily for preferred height, part of the door handle was also broken (though this didn't affect the ability to close the door).
Staff were very friendly and accommodating, the room was tidy and very comfortable, with all the amenities we needed.

306 Motel certainly delivered on service and cleanliness. The location was great for my holiday. I would definitely recommend this Motel and I would definitely stay there again. Parking is available and there was easy access to the unit from the carpark. 306 was great value for money. Lots of restaurants and shopping within walking distance and also not far to drive for other options.

The host, Carol, is very friendly and cordial! Whem shwe known that we were heading to Timaru and Mount Cook, she recommented us to the Fairlie Bakery which was a great pie and coffee cafe! The room is good and tidy. The location is also excellent if you are planning to leave the Christchurch town as it is located at the boundary of the town.

It was all good. There was nothing I didn't like.
It's a good stroll along Riccarton Road to Hagley Oval. There's plenty of eating places along the way especially Crispy Chicken (not far from the motel) and an excellent cafe - Park Ranger. The accommodation is exceptionally clean, roomy and comfortable. It's also quiet considering the proximity to Riccarton Road. The hosts are friendly and helpful. Regular public transport is available virtually right outside the gate.

Nothing comes to mind.
We chose this accommodation due to its location only. We didn't look at any reviews. A bed in this location was all we needed. But from the moment we arrived, we were SO impressed with its tidy grounds and super welcoming host. The room was perfect, it was spacious & tidy, the bed was comfy, the extra toiletries in the bathroom were a nice touch. Not to mention the delightful full-length mirror, which is something ALL accommodations should have. Carol went out of her way to return stuff to us that we left behind, we are so grateful for that, thank you. Absolutely recommend and will definitely stay again!!
