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 ZealandNoisy at night. The neighbours in the unit next door were noisy until 2.00am and kept us awake with their total disregard for others. Carpets need a good clean.
Location near the township and across the road from the lake. We appreciated the fact you took a late booking for one night and at a reduced rate.

New ZealandThere was an outside light that kept blinking on and off all night in the parking area, only the door had a blind, not the window beside it, so it was a little annoying having a bright light turning on and off all night. The gardens outside the window overlooking the lake were messy, a shame considering it's a million dollar view.
A great location and view of the lake, a nice pub right next door. Clean and tidy, easy check-in process.

New ZealandRoom wasn’t ready for our check-in time due to staff shortage so they reduced the price which was good in the end. Somewhat steep exposed staircase to first floor rooms, not a problem for me but my wife has limited mobility.
Good size room, good view of lake from our room (#817), clean & tidy, nicely decorated and well maintained. Nice deep spa bath and big tv in room. Looks like some rooms have been and some are under renovation which is good to see.

New ZealandA bit out dated. The Room could do with some maintenance, painting, whole in bathroom wall, door hanging in kitchen part. Update the info folder on the table. The noise from the Kitchen next door.
Just across the lake was Awesome. Restaurant next door, good food, awesome service and staff. No real kitchen, but hot plates, pots, cutlery etc. available. Room and beds comfortable and clean, just a bit out dated and could do with some maintenance and upgrading. Staff very friendly and helpful. Overall very satisfied and will come back.
