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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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.).

New ZealandThe springs in the queen bed rolls together when one person moves or gets up, interupting the other person sleeping. They provide capsule milk which is not enough and not the best for morning cereal. It was a cold winter night and the wall heater was just not strong enough. Had to switch on the small wall heat pump as well to get some warmth. No hair dryer in the room. The shower spray was not strong enough.
Closest motel to the railway station. Nice that the motel provides free transport to the railway station at 7.30am to catch the 8.15am Tranzalpine. There are many food outlets on Lincoln Road just a 10min walk from the motel. The tasty and affordable Afghan Restaurant is nearby. The couple that run the motel is friendly enough. Shower had instant heating.

New ZealandThe only downside was that there were only 2 pillows which were 'thin'. There was 1 small long life milk in the fridge, but we take fresh milk with us so it didn't affect us. The reception is not staffed after 10pm so we couldn't get more from them. The outside of the motel is overdue a refurbishment which could put some people off.
The room was clean, the bed was comfortable. There were 2 chairs with a table to eat at and the kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. You could easily make your own meals if you wanted to. We had booked the courtesy coach to pick us up and return us to the motel late at night. It turned up promptly and the driver was pleasant.

New ZealandThere were breadcrumbs in the cutlery drawer. The shower head had to be hand heals as the slide was broken. The garbage container in the kitchen hadn’t been properly cleaned from the previous occupants and had a sticky substance on it which attracted ants. Fortunately, they only occupied the garbage container. There is a sign in the bathroom talking about “daily” servicing of the room - this most certainly did not occur.
We were doing the Trans Alpine train trip and the motel was close by. We were given a one bedroom suite with a separate living room, which suited us as one of us is an early riser.
