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 ZealandHighly recommend this accommodation. The room was spacious, clean and very comfortable. It was great to have a lovely new kitchenette with a stone benchtop. The photos don't do it justice. It was especially great having dedicated parking and having many different eateries / takeaway options just across the road. The lovely lady at the reception warmly greeted us and, even though the motel is on a main road, it was very quiet in our room. We would definitely stay again.

New ZealandArghhh.... I even video'd this but the aircon starting up each time, sounded like a big truck was driving past. It did take a few seconds to calm down. I could not work out where the noice was coming from. Realised it was the Aircon unit in the main area, that also backed onto the bathroom wall.
Location great, on main road coming in to Rotorua.

GermanyVery basic kitchen equipment (small pan and tiny cooking pot in a room that sleeps 4). Other pottery was also not available upon request at reception. Perhaps this could be upgraded...
New motel, very clean rooms. Good location to drive to (along the highway) but a 45 min walk into town. Fastfood restaurants and a large supermarket across the street. Despite the highway, it was very quiet inside the rooms.

My Mother had an issue getting in the bed on the first night. We informed the office of the issue. They Purchased something to make it easy to get out of the bed and this made it great to get in the bed.

New ZealandWish we could have stayed longer!
Had a fabulous stay with my husband and two young children. Directly across the road form the skyline gondola. Greeted by a lovely gentleman who checked us in super quick. Booked a room with 2 queen beds which had our own private spa outside in a nice private courtyard. The beds were super comfortable with electric blankets and I loved the lighting in the room with lamps everywhere which you can create a lovely ambience. The room was faultless clean, the kitchenette was fantastic and the bathroom with bath was lovely, clean and warm. With young children it was amazing that all the quick convenience food shops were only meters away across the road and fuel and a supermarket! Only minutes from the main city of Rotorua where we enjoyed so many wonderful eateries. We were super happy that we chose a hotel just slightly out of the Rotorua CBD. I would highly recommend staying here. Special mention to Selina, the lovely receptionist? who was so friendly and accommodating.

The facilities were great, the beds were very comfortable and firm. The small kitchenette had everything you needed (microwave, stove top, fridge, teapot and coffee plunger). The towels were very plush and large. The best part was the outdoor spa pool although it took some time to fill up it was wonderful and nice that they don't reuse water from previous guests.
