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...).

New ZealandThe lighting in most areas was quite low, with no apparent option to have it brighter.
Overall range/availability and quality of accommodation facilities as well as separate bedrooms was great for our family, even though we didn't use them all. Much better value than a motel.

New ZealandThe water even through the filter tasted like dirt and we had to buy bottled water for drinking.
IT was a great place to stay for myself and 7 family members, with enough space for everyone to not feel cramped. The best thing was waking up early to enjoy a morning coffee with the sound of the various birds starting their day.

Among all the houses/ apartments we stayed at during our 12-day trip to the north of NZ, this was the best. It was a very cosy, beautiful, very clean family house. It had a beautiful, peaceful view to outside. The host family was very friendly and helpful.

United KingdomEverything was great, we didn't want to leave!
The apartment is beautiful, so tastefully decorated. We arrived late evening so it was dark. The owner had made sure that the lights were on so it felt really welcoming. The beds are comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped. The views are phenomenal, you could spend hours sat on the balcony taking it all in. The host is very attentive and left towels and suncream ready so you can easily spend a day at the beach. It is a short drive into paihia where there is lots to see and do. We particularly enjoyed the half day island tour.

This place is amazing! the decorations are so pretty and homely, but you still feel like you’re in a deluxe stay. The showers are amazing and there are lots of amenities which was a life saver. We had the best time away and all want to come back! The property is a good location from paihia and still nice and secluded because of the surrounding bush and wildlife.
