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.).

SpainThe property is very authentic and is a lovely place to stay in Auckland. The owner is lovely and very helpful. This was my last stop on my holiday in New Zealand. The Ponsonby Manor is well located with lots and lots of very nice eateries very close by, central Auckland is a steady 35 minute walk to the Sky Tower but is a little hilly……All in all, a lovely place to stay in my opinion.

The location is convenient for the purpose of my stay. The room was quiet and could barely hear any traffic. The manor is very charming and relaxing inside and out.

United KingdomThere was a well-equipped communal kitchen with great facilities, but not so conducive to self-catering. The laundry facilities were't obvious - and the only place to iron clothes, needed after much travel, was on a table against the wall, only suitable for bedding. We'd specifically asked for separate beds, got there late to find that our room was open, as discussed, but only a king sized bed - and I'd re-iterated the request 4 hours before arriving, when phoning to confirm arrangements for entry to the property after 7pm - so the housekeeper had to be contacted to separate and remake the beds.
The property was a quirky place to stay, with a nice feel to it and a quiet garden to enjoy, with a table and chairs outside our room on a shared deck/verandah. Lots of interesting resaurants and shop in the area, which we really enjoyed. The staff were helpful and friendly although things weren't always as expected.

Lovely room in a beautiful old home. Great communal kitchen. Dragging your heavy suitcase up the stairs is a challenge if you have physical limitations which we did.

AustraliaWe did not see many staff around, so it may be difficult to find someone if there were any issues.
Very comfortable and spacious rooms with nice high ceilings. Good location in an interesting part of Auckland. Street parking was easy to find and not too expensive, and we were close to the centre of town (a short drive and a slightly longer walk).

United StatesDetails about parking could have been provided ahead of time - it worked well for us as we were there on the weekend, but parking is on the street, and during the week is around the block for untimed spots. Also no screens on the windows meant the room had mosquitoes inside.
Very comfortable and clean, excellent location.
