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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United KingdomThe common lounge area is closed during the Winter months. Also, the fridge in my room didn't completely work. Nothing major.
The Aotearoa Lodge is a nice place a little bit outside of the centre of town. For anyone with a car and happy to drive it is perfectly fine. The wifi was good, the bed was comfortable and the shower was good.

New ZealandShower head was very low, so made washing my hair difficult, bathroom door opened right onto you when sat on the loo (or standing, for the fella's), which was fine as a solo visitor but could be a little bit of a hazard for two and would benefit from a little sound proofing (could hear next door snoring lol) but this is me thinking super hard about little things, as overall it was just perfect for my short stay.
Great host, clean and comfortable facilities, with everything you could need. Really well placed for exploring the Coromandel. Super comfy bed.

New ZealandOur toilet had a gurgle which made me laugh every time we flushed and the aircon faced over our bed so it was hard to find the right temperature on the hot nights.
Quick drive to town but a bit far to walk. The airport is nearby but small planes only take off during the day which wasn't too disruptive as we were out for most of the days. Very quiet otherwise and you cannot hear any traffic which is lovely. Peaceful spot with birds singing in the trees outside. We were upgraded to a bigger room which was awesome and we had a bigger deck than some of the other rooms which was great.

New ZealandSomeone knocking on my door at night saying that the walls were 'paper thin' and that the voice from my I-pad movie was too loud and in fixing the problem I can hardly hear any commentary on my I-pad now. Unfortunately she was right. I could hear every movement from the unit she was in next door. I felt like knocking on her door to tell her I'd better not hear her and her man making out!!!!!
Location fine. No breakfast.
