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...).

United StatesOn Dec. 31, 2022, my husband and I booked a large room (1 king bed) with living room in order for 4 people to deposit bags and use the bathroom, if necessary. We arrived at 5 pm, had dinner plans at 6 and a flight that evening for which we had to leave for the airport by 9 pm. Upon arrival, the check-in male employee told me I had only marked 2 people but there were 4 of us. I explained we just go the room to have somewhere to deposit our luggage for a few hours, so we could go to dinner in town before our flight and we would not be spending the night. He then insisted I would have to pay the equivalent of an extra $60 for the 'extra guests.' So, I told him only two of us would go up and drop the luggage, to which he responded that now that he knew the luggage wasn't ours, we could not bring it up to the room because of 'liability' (even though our friends were right there in front of him and agreed on the plan). This is clearly ridiculous and shady. The man was so rude it was just unbelievable. I then asked to reserve a taxi for the airport at 9pm. He did call the room to inform us it had been arranged, but when we figured we had a bit more time than we thought, I called to see if the driver could come at 9:15, to which he just responded that we were lucky he got us a taxi at all. I might add, because we really needed somewhere to deposit our bags that evening we all kept calm while expressing our incredulity and displeasure, but in the end we just sucked it up. Fool me once...Never again.

United StatesHallway was dark . Couldn’t find room at midnight when checked in. Kitchen was not equipped as stated. No pans, no cooking utensils. Suppose to have cooking options in room but stove and oven did not work..no microwave. Air conditioning in master bedroom not working properly. Shower terrible. Half of the lights were out and had to get maintenance. Slider doors would not lock.. Had to have the front desk come and put sticks in doors to secure our room. Tv is not for English visitors.
It was spacious.

New ZealandThe bathroom needs to be refurbished and the design of the bath and shower meant that the water ended up on the main floor. The bath mat could not cope. The rest of the building certainly looked that it need a lot of TLC and refurbishment.
The rooms were good size and as a suite it was really good. The staff were excellent but they had to work in some difficult conditions. Breakfast was basic but met our needs well.

Location. The room was hugh and clean. Easily compared with the Intercontinental for facilities at less than half the price They serve freshly squeezed orange and pineapple juice for breakfast

French PolynesiaDidn’t like one thing about this hotel. They say it’s close to the airport but it’s near the port so tons of traffic. The shower has the worst design so the bathroom floods. No restaurant or food outside of dinner time. The pool is cold and in the shade. No TV Zink the sitting area. A miserable experience.
Absolutely nothing.

New ZealandWhen we arrived the floor we arrived on was pitch black - no security lights, nothing. The breakfast was a rip off. There was no selection of anything, we are not fussy and will eat anything but it was extremely poor.
A very lovely check in at 2am. Lovely big spotlessly clean room.

New ZealandPlace needs brighter lights so one could see to find your room number etc or a lighter colour paint. Brighter lighting will make people feel more secure. Theres a language barrier; require staff who can speak English as well. Not understanding the menus in FRrench. Need stable showers, rather than a hand held. We thought that breakfast was included in the cost, and it wasnt.
Friendly, helpful staff. Upgraded to a larger room, when we had power problems in the hotel room.

AustraliaThe hotel appears very run down and there is a lack of maintenance on obvious issues. I assume that travel restrictions during the pandemic has hit these hotels hard. Lighting in the corridors in the evening is very dim. The floors in the rooms are very dirty- seeing the cleaner at work I can understand why. The same mop for the common hall areas was used straight into the guest room with no change of the mop pad- no wonder the soles of my feet were black when walking barefoot in the room. I think management needs to overhaul their cleaning routines and do more to maintain fittings in the property.
Generous sized rooms. Friendly and helpful staff. Proximity to ferry wharf- but offset by being in a run down area . Close to the local market , boat marina and nice harbour park which are a short walk away. This hotel suited my needs for a quick stopover prior to catching the ferry to Moorea.
