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 ZealandYou should type the password rather than write it. You couldn't distinguish between capitals or if it's numeral 0 or the letter O. There was also no sink or dish washing liquid to clean dishes.
Location was close to work. The facilities were good.

South AfricaWe moved couch got some food under it. I had to pay $30 extra for the exact same bed structure. I was told we would get 2 x single beds but sleeper couch was kept as is. Not sure why I had to pay extra if it was kept the same. Also till late at night and early morning there was banging above us. Also like someone running the whole time. Plugs in bathroom didn't work and hairdryer didn't work.

New ZealandBathroom floor didn't appear clean, long hair and crumbs on it, felt tacky to walk on. Plus shower seemed old & mouldy. No teatowels or way to dry your clean dishes. Was also very road noisy.
Helpful reception staff, easy access in & out of room and liked having a opening door & windows. Comfy beds.

New ZealandBooked disabled room. Shower rail was broken so staff swapped into other disabled unit. Unfortunately this unit had a terrible smell which we should have complained about but didn’t. Toilets are too low even though there is a rail very hard to pull up on. Grab rail from shower was too far away from seat. Bathroom floor was dirty. No extra blankets in room - was cold. Staff didn’t make bed on second day. We were then charged for a dent in the rubbish tin which we didn’t do. Would not stay again or recommend to anyone.

AustraliaRooms were dated, well past when they should have been refurbished. Price was exorbitant for the class of rooms presented. No facilities close by for meals, location was poor and rooms were sub standard
Nothing, would have changed motels if I’d seen the rooms before paying. The hassle of getting a refund was all that stopped me cancelling the booking

New ZealandTHE PARKING WAS RIDICULOUSLY TIGHT! No aircon Very limited room servicing. There were several spiders in the room. The sky box was mounted behind the TV so the remote only worked when very close.
Friendly staff at reception. The location was great for our needs. Had a rear door opening onto a pleasant grassy courtyard.
