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.).

New ZealandCold basement and a bit tired. Kids preferred to stay upstairs! Tired property but nothing fundamentally broken, it all functioned and did what we needed.
Good location. Well suited to most Rotorua attractions but bit of a walk to shops so best suited for car trips Comfy beds Heat pump upstairs worked well Big tick - accepts pets :-)

New ZealandSome of the appliances are in need of updating to be honest. We had troubles with both washing machine and dryer and the dishwasher only just worked too. Kitchen is lacking a bit of cooking equipment too. The only reason we booked a house was to have these amenities.
Great layout, fit all 13 of us comfortably with lots of room. Would book again if we have a big group meet up

great location, lots of rooms and beds. great views of the city. lots of space for everyone. The beds were very comfortable and it was great there were 2 heat pumps and also heaters in the bedrooms.

New ZealandThe house smelt extremely bad like cat piss or a bad type of chemical. We had to go out and buy some spray and smelly stuff because the smell was so bad we couldn’t stay inside. Looked like the carpets had just been cleaned and carpet was still damp getting wet socks as you walked around the house.
Location was perfect and plenty of space

AustraliaThe bed were not very comfortable & the house only has one bathroom. At least the toilet was separate. This house sleeps up to 12. The kitchen is well equipped with crockery & cutlery but there is no supply of foil, baking paper or cling wrap.

New ZealandThe house was really nice. All rooms have heaters and 2 heat pumps in the house they all worked great. It had everything we needed eg washing machine & dryer, pots, pans, shampoo & conditioner ect ect. Yes there were a couple of cockroaches and big spiders but that is to be expected when the house is up on a mountain. We had a group of 11 people and there was plenty room for us all! would highly recommend this property! No complaints at all! 27/11/2022

United Statesthe lack of cleanliness and the kitchen was not set up for cooking
The house was freezing cold when we arrived so it would have been helpful if the host turned on the heat before we got there. The kitchen has no spices and condiments so it was difficult to cook a meal. there were no paper towels or other kitchen towels to clean up with. The fan in the bathroom was covered in dirt. not worth the money.

New ZealandThis house was filthy! There was mould on the walls, ceilings and on the windows. The house reeked of mould and was very damp. The were hair is some of the beds, slimy mould on the shower walls, old toiletries in the bathroom. The kitchen walls and windows were dirty and the oven racks dirty. There were holes in the walls and one of the windows didn't close. This property is in serious need of repairs, maintenance and a decent clean. This property is terrible and we would never have stayed however we were in Rotorua for a funeral and at short notice could find nowhere else for our large group to stay together.
The view was nice but pity the windows were so dirty

New ZealandCleaning wasn't really up to standards. Toilet walls had old blood stains on one side of the wall. We ended up cleaning it off ourself. There was also old fat on the blinds in the kitchen. And on top of the fan in the kitchen. And also the rubbish bin hadn't been cleaned. overall I would rate our stay a 5 out of 10 if the cleaning was done properly it would be a 8 out of 10.
We liked that it was a big house and everyone had there own rooms.
