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 KingdomA bedside table should be installed for ease, and a side light rather than having the big lights
Not sure why this property only has a pleasant score. The unit was very clean, large, kitchenette was very well equipped with a microwave and toaster as well. Location perfect, reception lovely.

New ZealandDisappointed there was no iron or ironing board especially when I paid $161 per night and was there 2 nights. Couldn't park outside my room at all and had to park some distance and go back and forth unloading/loading up car.

New ZealandThere was only one towel rail in a unit capable of accommodating three guests. There was enough wall space in the bathroom to hang three towels. Not a difficult problem to fix. There was no soap capsules for the dishwasher or milk supplied.
Comfortable beds. Reasonably well appointed, good fridge freezer and dishwasher. A older motel unit but refurbished with a modern kitchen and bathroom. Good air conditioner which worked well when required.

New ZealandCouple of minor things need fixed. Curtain in corner on room had come off its runners and wouldnt close properly which means when the lights are on people can see in when walking past. Its missing the hooks so hubby couldnt hang it back up again. Also the blind above sink is broken so doesn't open or close. Makes the room too dark. Also doesn't quite cover the window so a curtain there would provide more privacy, stop the street light glaring in through them too considering it faces the street.
Location was good. Unit is a good size. Bathroom was great. Bed and pillows were comfy.

United KingdomA little bit basic and in need of a bit of TLC and updating, particularly the curtains that were hanging off the rail. The double bed was practically on the floor, not good for getting out of and springing into action. Didn't bother with breakfast. it seemed a bit of a chore to organise . No hairdryer in room
