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 ZealandMotel is filled with permenant residents. Although nice enough people, we didn’t feel comfortable letting the kids play outside. Room was nice enough for what you pay. Probably more ideal for young people looking to stay in a quiet beach town.
Close to township. Most affordable place in town so you get what you pay for.

New ZealandI had room with shared bathroom. About 3 toilets and two showers to service too many rooms. At least one toilet basin was loose on the floor and needed securing. The wooden walkway around all rooms was stapled with wire netting to prevent slipping when wet in one place but needs extending as I nearly slipped over just prior to this when it was wet. No wall mirror in the room.
The room was cosy and reasonable in price . Bed cud be made better with foam mattress. Current spring mattress past it’s best.

New ZealandNo staff were on site when I arrived - nor did I see any the whole time I was there. The manager had written a contact number on the office window for arrivals to use. I had no phone and asked another guest from another unit to ring him and he then told me where the key to my unit had been hidden. The lawns were overgrown and had not been mowed for at least six weeks - possibly more. The bathroom taps all moved around when they were used. The whole place looked and felt tired, worn out and badly in need of a coat of paint. The pillows were thin and useless.
I liked the quiet. The location was good for the things I wished to do. The free parking and availability of the parking was excellent. The free wifi was good.

New ZealandVery poorly kept. The room wasn't dirty, but it had an underlying smell. The shared kitchen was dirty and the showers weren't clean. We had a noisy guest next door. Kept us awake....a domestic argument involving shouting and swearing. Is this lodge being used for emergency accommodation?
Good location.

New ZealandIt could have been a lovely little place but, it hasn't had any attention in a long time. Never saw any cleaners, it was being used as a homeless shelter and could get quite rowdy, and basically they did the 'cleaning'.
The room was clean and the bed comfortable.

New Zealandit was filthy. although our room and linen was clean the outside area was littered with trash, smelled like stale cigarette smoke and was very run down. My husband cut his foot on some broken glass. the toilets were dirty and graffitied. Another guest checking out at the same time said her room smelled like urine. we barely saw any staff. he came and went, check in was just a text with the room number and door pin code.
it was waling distance to the restaurant strip, town and beaches.
