Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

New ZealandDidn't like feeling like I'd drowned the shower, it was a wet room, but then didn't know how to dry up the rest of the water to not keep getting wet feet
Owners were welcoming, nice lounge space to sit in, kitchen facilities were lovely and breakfast provided was great!

We absolutely loved the swimming pool and spa pool, especially at night when the fairy lights were on. Glenda and Bob were very welcoming and spoiled us with little extra's like chocolates, wine and beach towels.

New ZealandWhile it was not what I had been expecting it provided what I needed a bed for the night.
Having had my ferry sailing altered I needed to arrange last minute accommodation in Picton. There was little available. The room was comfortable but had no view other than into a carport/work area. One advantage was breakfast was provided.

United States of AmericaIt wasn’t quite what we were expecting, more bed and breakfast than motel/hotel. Our studio queen room was off the communal living space. The private bathroom was located on the other side of entry hall from bedroom but the main entry door into our studio only locked from inside (so when you leave bathroom and hall are not locked). The key we were given to lock the bedroom locked the knob but you could still just push open the door, so not really secure. Not much of an issue since the location is outside of town and not like people will just be wandering in but as main door to communal space is kept unlocked I would have still preferred being able to securely lock it. The bathroom was wet room style, which I’m not as fond of, and while clean had a musty scent.
Host was friendly and provided breakfast. The room worked for our purposes as a place to stay before taking ferry to Wellington. Other rooms upstairs at Lodge seemed more private and better for an extended stay.
