Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

United KingdomThe apartment slept 6 therefore the table could have been bigger for 6 people.
I liked the fact it had a full oven and not just a hob, plus a microwave which is excellent if you are cooking for a family. This apartment had a jacuzzi bath.

AustraliaThe only thing we didn't like was that the shower's hottest option was warm and had low pressure, which was surprisingly as the hot water system was in the cupboard opposite.
Good sized unit and super clean. Reception staff happy and friendly. Kitchen had what we needed to make breakfast. Bed was comfy and warm, TV worked and Sky was accessible. I was impressed with the 'Rubbish', 'Recycling' and 'Compost' bins - it's the first motel we've used in our NZ stay that has Compost Bins.

New ZealandThe wifi dropped out a few times.
It was exceptional for the price we paid and we were pleasantly surprised. The staff service was excellent being prompt with requests in a lovely manner. It had been well updated and the spa bath was lovely. Adequate parking and in a position in the town to access the bay and township easily. We checked out Centennial Park, the penguins and had a nice meal at the Bay Hill Bar. Glad we did.

New ZealandWhile i said the location was good, it also wasn't good merely because the motel is on the main road of Timaru so traffic was loud all day and even during the night. There's nothing you can do about that but if you are a light sleeper it could be an issue.
The rooms were good size, bed comfortable, kitchen and bathroom was good and provided wat we needed and location was good for our needs.

New ZealandIt's on the state highway, so there is a bit of traffic noise. But to be fair a large percentage of Timaru accommodation is on the highway, so they have the same traffic noise.
The apartment units were immaculately clean, super comfortable. And had every thing you needed to be able to cook and live comfortably if you were staying longish term. Great size rooms. The beds and pillows were super comfy. Easy check in and out process.
