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.).

AustraliaFrom start to finish this was one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had, and I have had a lot. Very welcoming reception staff. The room was perfect for a solo traveller but plenty big enough for a couple. Bed was super comfee. Great lighting . The shower was fab and there was a toothbrush, razor, and sewing kit for emergencies. Pillow turn down and Freddo frogs greeted me on returning after dinner !!😍There is a drinks station on every floor with sparkling water tap, coffee and tea There is complimentary breakfast downstairs every morning. Puffin wine bar is on the ground floor. Very cool vibe, great wine by the glass , a real local hangout. The location is amazing. A few steps to Cuba Street where you will find fantastic shops, bars and cafes , and a short walk to all the main attractions. There is nothing to fault about this Hotel, it is wonderful.

New ZealandOur only observation, was that the heat pump may need some attention (noisier rattle sound than it should've been making), though ultimately no major - it was still lovely and warm in the room.
The moment we walked in we were greeted incredibly warmly, and Kayla (?) made checking in (and out) a very easy affair. She was elegant, gracious, kind, and knowledgeable. We were thrilled upon discovering the room, proving to be a perfect blend of industrial and chic with delightfully appointed separate bathroom & water closet. The handwritten, and 'Intrepidly' sealed, envelope and accompanying instruction letter were also a very nice touch. All attributing to one of the best nights we've ever had in Wellington. Thank you Intrepid Hotel - we'll look forward to the next time we get to see you!

New ZealandBecause the hotel is centrally located, it can get quite noisy, but luckily the hotel provides you with free ear plugs to help you get a good nights sleep.
Central location, with parking a few doors up. HINT - use ParkMate and extend your parking every night and every morning - only cost $20 per day. Free croissant's and in-room treats every day. Super comfy bed and extra large. Loved having separate shower and toilet, with lovely toiletries.

New ZealandThere weren't any spare pillows available to swap for a thinner one.
Location is perfect, in the middle of everything you could want to do, buy, eat and there is even a popular bar downstairs. Room layout is great, design is excellent and lovely bedding, wool blankets like a luxury guest house. Hot croissants with butter and jam to go - even paper bags provided :) Mini bar is complimentary and restocked each day.

New ZealandShower a bit temperamental and went almost burning hot due to leak I think on hose, but to be fair I forgot to mention it to hotel.
Great central location, stylish without being pretentious, decent bedside reading lights with flexible lighting options ( rare!) lolly bag if jet planes kinda cute! Staff lovely and helpful. . Communal tea making facilities a good way to reduce individual room amenities and encourage a little social interaction.
