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 first room I was booked into was not made up by house keeping and real shock walking into the room to a total mess. Reception was able to find another room. Also, I paid for 2 breakfasts not one and staff did not offer a refund on the over payment.
the room once I was swapped over from another room was comfortable but tired and a little dark. Staff were very friendly and helpful and the young lady that brought up my room service was cheerful and helpful.

New ZealandThe bathrooms were quite small and annoying that the toilet was right behind the door. There could of been other milk options in the rooms for those with allergies. We had booked rooms 107, 109, and 111 and in room 111 the tv wasn't working at all and our request for a crib was missed
The staff were very friendly and helpful especially those in the restaurant part of the Motel. Very lovely full of character throughout the motel. The location was perfect for what we needed.

New ZealandThe room deco is slightly old fashion. The sink in the bathroom should be moved a bit closer to the tap.
All the staff I met were very good - the receptionist, staff at the restaurants were all very friendly and welcoming. They are very smiley and polite. Well done. Good location, close to the city, lots of parking space. Clean. Lots of drink choices inside the room - coffee, tea bags, hot chocolate. Beautiful building and plants. The room has one single bed and a double/queen bed, spacious. Having a restaurant in the hotel is a big bonus, very convenient. Dinner was nicely presented and good price too. Breakfast has lots of choices. I like the deco in the restaurant, a nice place to have function.

New ZealandThey came to put in fresh linen but I had just got out of the shower - they said they would come back but they never did so we had no fresh towels during our stay. The rooms are looking old and tired and the carpet by the front door was badly stained - disappointing considering what the charge was per day
It was handy to where I needed to be

Receiving a complementary upgrade on the room upon arrival. The hotel was very close within walking distance to the center of the city to access restaurants and bars. The breakfast is worth including in your stay as its very hearty and saves trying to find a cafe open in the morning.
