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 ZealandI’ve been a professional housekeeper in the past and I noticed when using the bathroom to apply make up that there was green grime around the bottom of the taps on the bathroom which could’ve easily been removed with Jiff and an old toothbrush. There were brown marks and a brown substance up high on the bathroom wall which could’ve been removed by a mop by the cleaners before we arrived and also there was mould in the grout around the bath which made the spa bath unappealing. A good spray with some bleach in the grout could probably fix that problem. I just noticed these things because as I mentioned I was previously a professional cleaner myself and I would’ve cleaned these things before letting any guests stay. Perhaps have a talk with housekeeping about these things, it would’ve made a huge difference to our stay if I hadn’t of noticed these things.
It was close to the location we were headed to for a function so it was very convenient. It was comfortable and tidy and the coffee in the sachets was nice. We liked the large screen TV and the free wifi available. There was a heater if you’re cold and a fan in the wardrobe if you’re hot. The bed was very comfortable. We used the microwave to heat our food and there’s also a toaster etc but no sink so you need to get water from the bathroom for a coffee. We were delighted to see a spa bath when we arrived but unfortunately we didn’t get to use it as we only stayed one night.

New ZealandThey weren't going to give a refund when I thought I couldn't stay due to illnesses
The room was huge and incredibly clean. It was a bit run down, but the size and obvious care put into it made up for it. It was like cute art deco surrounded by boutiques and cafes. Yes run down but so much better than I expected.

New ZealandNot in all nfairness a complaint for the pricing, but car park is remote if you're worried about security. Some noise from flat upstairs and internal gutters when it rained, may annoy some, but it is what it is.
Competitive pricing in comparison with other local facilities and fits the bill if you need three beds. Large bathroom. Lady we dealt with was very helpful and even had the heater own before we arrived. Very close to local eating facilities and the beach.
