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 and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

United KingdomThe shower water pressure was a little bit low.
The room I was in was incredibly spacious with plenty of room to relax, cook, get washed etc and also contained a heater which the owner of the motel had already turned on so the room was warm for when I arrived. The staff were also really welcoming and I was offered fresh towels/cloths after my first night. I was also very pleased the the laundry room was accessible free of charge.

New ZealandWifi not suitable, I was on unit 9 which is at the end. The shower could have more water pressure and be larger, very small cubicle and I am petite.
Nice easy going staff. Clean facilities, lots of appliances, nice bed. Parking right in front of the unit. A/C was on when I arrived which made the unit very comfortable on arrival, since I arrived when it was already getting cold. Plenty towels provided.

New ZealandThe entrance off the main road was a little difficult to distinguish at night. I had read reviews about the friendly staff but I think the lady was having a bad day as there was no friendly greeting, just grumbles about all that she had to do. I don’t believe she looked at me or spoke to me for 5 mins or so after i presented at the desk, was more concerned with cats darting inside. She was not rude or anything, just not that welcoming.
The motel was on the main road but the rooms are set down the back so were very quiet. The motel is older but we expected that from reading reviews but it was very clean. It was comfortable with a small table and two chairs plus a couch. The king bed was very comfortable and cosy on a chilly night. The heat pump soon warmed up the room.

AustraliaRoad noise is noticeable, even from rooms at back of property - it's not TOO loud though and can be drowned out easily with low volume music or a white noise app on your phone.
Cheap (for NZ) for what you got. Fairly spacious room. Convenient for driving onto exit roads in the morning, Air conditioning was a bonus (many other budget NZ hotels didn't have it).
