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.).

AustraliaThe arrival information was pretty average. Limited signage and the corridors are long and windy. The place is a bit tired. A curtain rail fell off and the kitchen tap was loose.
The place was clean and central

New ZealandThe hallways were ice cold (it was winter but colder than outside). The door was a bit tricky to find, but once we found it the first time then it was easy.
Good location, very central and had everything we needed for a short stay as a family of 5. Lots of restaurants and bars nearby, we enjoyed exploring from here. Kitchen is well stocked with plates, bowls, cooking utensils.

New ZealandThe noise of the works next door can annoy some people. We didnt mind it as we spent most of the day out and about. Parking your car to offload your bags can be tricky too and you might need to do a couple laps around the block before th loading zone becomes available for you as its a busy area of town in the afternoons/evenings.
Great location can't fault it really. Kids loved being right next door to a place that sells bubble tea. So many eateries, cafes, restaurants right at your door step! A short walk to New World, Te Papa and the waterfront. Great for anyone wanting to explore the CBD, great for especially families and those who want to be close to the night life but also enjoy a quite nights sleep. The room itself is away from the hustle and bustle of the CBD noise so you don't hear anything at night. A pity that there were major works happening next door as they were very noisy during the day and the scaffolding blocked our view on the deck but to be fair we were out and about alot so didnt affect us much. A comfortable stay for us and our two children. Plenty of space for us all to move around. To good sized rooms. Loved having a dryer and washing machine. The room could do with an oven tray or oven dish so you can actually cook in the oven.

New ZealandThe lighting isn't the greatest and the construction work on apts directly next to building meant we couldn't open windows and doors. Quite a bit different from images online but reflected the cost (location, space, otherwise quiet). Definitely bargain!!!
Great location, close to eateries, public transport, supermarkets and decent parking. Lots of room and comfy homely feeling. Easy pick up of access card and process to get in and out. Other than workmen, really quiet. Good number of heaters and so easy to keep warm.

New ZealandOne thing comes to mind, it is well documented that there is construction happening right next and to be fair it wasn't noisy at all during our stay, however they have a security light which is super bright at night, the curtains help block it out, but it is very bright.
Location was great, room was nice and warm on arrival, room was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Bed was super comfortable. For the location it was very quiet considering being in the heart of Courtenay Place.

New ZealandThe spacious rooms/ high ceilings made heating a challenge, we found it alittle cool in afternoon/ evening. The oil heaters seemed unable to turn up. It was good to have one in each room. We were lucky to have nice winter weather for our stay.
Great location, spacious rooms, good kitchen and bathroom/laundry and big bedrooms with comfy beds. Didn't notice much noise from building site though it was weekend.

New ZealandHad to phone 0800 to get curtain put on bedroom windows. Towels had yellow stains. Sofa hard and uncomfortable and has stains The area of courtenay place is ok during the day but quite unsafe at night, there was a fight outside one of the bars with people using objects to attack and spilling into the street. Having no parking is a disadvantage

New ZealandOne bedroom had a skylight with the blind/curtain on it being a bit fidly and very slow to draw closed. In one of the other bedroom's the doorstop had a screw missing, and because it was attached to the wardrobe door, when that door was opened the doorstop scraped across the carpet making a scraping sound and feeling like you would just about tear the carpet up. We could hear water running at times, wasn't sure if it was something running into the roof or a neighbouring shower? Was a little bit disconcerting. These were fairly minor complaints though.
Stayed two nights. Loved the location. It was down the street from the St James theatre which we were going to on the Saturday night. There was convenient drop off parking outside the door of Courtenay Village, plus a parking payment console/kiosk a few metres from the door when we wanted to park for a while longer. A public toilet was in the close vicinity as well, and this turned out to be a bit of a god send after a long drive, having endured the slow stop-start crawl of 5:00pm Friday traffic, when we couldn't wait to get upstairs. Also, the bus stop was right outside the door which was a perfect surprise, as part of our stay included guests getting a bus to and from the apartment. There were plenty of take aways, bakeries, cafes and bars in close proximity as well as art and craft galleries and shops near by. It was a handy location to the waterfront and good varied shopping options were close by. Because these apartments are unmanned by staff, we made no face to face contact with anyone, but the receptionist I spoke to by phone was most helpful, friendly and able to explain the check in and check out procedures in simple detail, plus carried out my request regarding how I wanted the beds made up. I was reassured that if we had any problems or concerns pre-arrival or during our stay, help was only a phone call away. The code-opening pick up box outside the door was easy and convenient to get the "keys" and apartment instructions. Having two swipe cards was handy, allowing our group to split up and do separate things without having to rely on others to gain access to and from the apartment. There are both stairs and a lift The passage way to the apartments is easy but quaint, with slopes, changes in direction and fire doors adding interest to the journey to get to the apartment.

New ZealandPlease attend to the missing curtain in one of the bedrooms in apartment 2 - more to shut out light than privacy.
Really appreciated that heaters were on when we arrived- which because of our flights was after 9pm - so a lovely warm apartment was very welcoming- thank you!! Also apartment was super clean and beds were comfy, clean and cozy. Also the milk in fridge really appreciated thanks.

AustraliaThe cleanliness could be better and if you have a car, it doesn’t come with a car space but plenty of paid car spots nearby. However it’ll be a bit hard to find parking during peak hours.
Convenient as it’s situated in CBD, pretty good value for what we paid for, extra point for the really strong water pressure.
