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.).

New ZealandI was very disappointed when I arrived at 1.30pm no one around for ages. When the Asian owners arrived the were very rude and tried to give me unit 4 that was already rented out to a group of unsavoury individuals. Then I was moved to unit 5. The unit smelt and was damp. I was uncomfortable with the unsavoury individuals smoking and lying about the doorways in the other units, I felt unsafe travelling and staying there alone. So I left and found alternative accommodation. I would not recommend to any woman travelling alone or even families. This run down motel seems to be a dos house for drug users needing emergency accomodation. Not impressed!!!!! Awful awful place. I would love my money back please.

New ZealandThe servive. The way I was spoken to being told I hadn't paid, when I had. Bathroom basin needed replacing, checked sheets and a dark mark was on one. It appers that they have people living there. I asked for refund and he said I would have to do this through Booking.com. So no refund.
To be honest I arrived, didn't like this motel at all and left.

New ZealandOld, out dated, tired, a relic from the 1970's, dubious cleanliness, in sad need of maintenance, shower tiny and had brown silicone staining around the base, depressing, the most expensive stay on our South Island trip and the worst value for money - $175 for a 1 bedroom unit was poor value. Motel looked as if was used for emergency housing, receptionist grumpy with poor English. Booking,com you are letting your clientele down and you should take this accommodation off your books. It was an absolute dump and photos were misleading. I highly recommend you avoid this accommodation

New ZealandThe person on duty was not at all helpful and the motel seemed to be a bit run down. No tea bags to make a cuppa and no sink to wash dishes in, had to use hand basin in the bathroom, and no tea towel to dry with. Pleased we had only one night there, would not use again.

New ZealandMan who checked me in put his arm around me and rubbed my back when showing me my room. The same man groped my breast when he later came to my room to show me how to work the television. I had booked for two nights, but left after one night because I didn't feel safe (the man who just touched me inappropriately almost certainly had keys to my room).
Large room, some kitchen facilities (eg sink, bar fridge)

New ZealandThe whole unit needed to be thoroughly cleaned top to bottom between guests.For example dust accumulated on light fittings ,back of TV dusty and just about everywhere else. Vertical blinds above kitchen completely useless when closed(half not there) In shower cubicle used soap and shampoo bottle was there(very unhygienic). Hair dryer still sellotaped up and we noticed from a previous guest written back in September 2022. Cobwebs and Fly poop in ceiling light fittings. Microwave not cleaned properly and electric jug urgently needs replacing. Bedside light cover kept falling partially off .Power point between bed and settee I think dangerous and unsafe. One light not working THE FIRST THING TO GREET YOU WAS A VERY STRONG MUSTY SMELL WHICH WAS OVERWHELMING AND AS I DO HAVE A BREATHING PROBLEM SOMEHOW I MANAGED TO GET BY.ANYONE ELSE THAT IS ASTHAMTIC THEY WOULD STRUGGLE WITH THE SMELL. No milk in fridge The proprietors were not that friendly

New Zealand1) We paid for a room which was supposed to have a kitchenette. When we were allocated a room which didn’t have one I obviously approached the operator and asked why. His answer was simply that “sometimes people get that and sometimes they don’t” and then he tried telling me the toaster and microwave constituted this facility. 2) the tv had Netflix but it didn’t have normal tv. 3) the bathroom window latch was loose so the window was always slightly ajar when the heater was running. 4) the microwave in the room worked fine the first day but then it stopped working inside even though the counter dial would go down. Fearing it was a fire hazard we unplugged it. 5) the kettle had a layer of brown mould on the inside. 6) though we were provided enough towels for our stay those we used were never taken away once.
The tv had Netflix, the location was handy to town, the nightly rate was reasonable, and the room was clean (mostly). We always had enough towels and soap was provided.
