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 ZealandNo heads up that there’s a $50 bond per night when booking which took me back a bit, considering I hadn’t expected to be $100 down. A fan/vent in the bathroom would help with the steam from the shower.
So close to everything. Had a concert at Spark Arena so was perfect walking distance to the venue and back. Right by Britomart so perfect if travelling throughout Auckland, and right in the CBD so everything is within walking distance for shopping. Rooms were comfortable, and surprisingly pretty quiet from how close to the street it is. Chocolate hour is an added bonus. Staff were so friendly. Would stay again.

New ZealandA staff member helped carry our bags which was lovely - would have been great if bags had been taken to our room prior (we stored them prior to check in). The lifts were really slow and only 2 appeared to be working. We couldn't work out if room service was available. A brochure of info about the hotel would have been useful. The main concern was the noise from the bar/restaurant below - which kept us awake. Next time I'd ask for a quieter room.
Very comfortable beds - nice tea selection, friendly staff. Location was excellent for restaurants and concerts. TV was big, clear and easy to operate.

New ZealandBathroom door had come off its slider upon check in. The floor we stayed on had a broken button for the elevator where you had to push the up button to allow the elevator to arrive at your floor and then had to go up with other customers before being able to return to ground floor. We stayed on a Friday night and the noise from outside was very disruptive. Comes with staying so central but got maybe two hours sleep as lots of bar noise, music and yelling happened on street.
Location was great. Beds were very comfy, room was very clean and decor modern.

New ZealandOur room hadn't been cleaned by 4pm and reception were surprised when we contacted them to let them know. They quickly got it serviced but it would have been nice if they offered us a drink in the bar while the room was serviced for 20 minutes. I also don't think the view is worth paying extra for as the building isn't tall enough to get a truly stunning sea view like some of the other hotels in the area. So save your money and hope for a decent view anyway (which we did previously and it was an equal view with no additional cost). The room also had very limited storage -a wardrobe only and no drawers. There was plenty of space for suitcases but we like to unpack and this wasn't possible.
The beds were comfy and the view was nice. Chocolate hour is a cool addition and the kids enjoyed their free ice cream. The location is excellent. The valet car service was quick.

AustraliaOn the 7th floor the left hand lift down button did not work and the lifts were slow at times. For some reason one of the lifts was stopped at the basement level at times. Was this a form of cost saving - I don't know.
The hotel is in a good location for my visit and offered easy access to the venues where my meetings were. The included breakfast was nice and the view from the 13th floor restaurant was lovely. Staff were friendly too.

United KingdomThere was nothing special which would make it a 5 star hotel. The room was nice but nothing special. Facilities were ok, just nothing “wow” about it.
The location is excellent. It is a 5 minute walk from the waterfront. The room was clean and had everything you would expect. Restaurant had a decent view overlooking the harbour.

New ZealandWifi was quite patchy much to my children disgust and they couldn’t get a movie to play on their iPad. Also a bit disappointed with the phone “sundae service”. TV advertised a caramel popcorn sundae which looks delicious but when we phoned we were told they didn’t have it and only had chocolate or strawberry sundaes. The sundae that came was very delicious but not what was advertised and not really worth $20
Great location, staff were very friendly and helpful, room was lovely and clean. Room service was good and the chocolate hour was great…kids loved it!
