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.).

United StatesThere was absolutely nothing we didn’t like about this place
There were lots of things we liked about this property, we arrived at around 6:00pm out of hours! We had been up graded :) the room was warm as the lodge manager had popped down to put the heat pump on :) furnishings modern, bed linen crisp n clean, big stock of tea,coffee, sugar n milk with complimentary biscuits, the little touches that made it warm comfortable & inviting. Big ups to management & staff this place is a real wee gem by the river, will definitely be back to stay

AustraliaIt was clean one bedroom but it was claustrophobic. The bedroom was small but had a queen and a single, and the lounge had a single bed. The bathroom was also tiny. The lady running it was lovely but not onsite all the time. Entry is by code and the door plays up sometimes.

New ZealandI paid for a family room with 3 beds and was given a standard room with 2 beds, causing a huge inconvenience. After checking in to quickly shower and change for an important family event, I had to pack up all my luggage and belongings and then had trouble trying to contact the motel to fix the problem while simultaneously having to run the event I was attended. I was told I was given the standard room because there were only two of us staying, even though I had actually paid more for the family room in case my kids turned up. I found this highly unprofessional and it caused a lot of unnecessary stress and inconvenience. I’d warn people before staying here
Location was great, close to family, rooms was very cozy and clean.

New ZealandI thought the price was a bit high for accommodation in Kawerau. Have paid less for the same, and even better accommodation in the larger centers throughout NZ. But if there's nothing else available, then beggars can't be choosers.
It was just another motel in another town to stay in. It suited our requirements.
