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 ZealandWe stayed in a one bedroom suite and it was perfect for two adults and a toddler. It had everything we needed and had plenty of room for our toddler to run around safely. I would recommend the room to other parents with young children. Room was quiet and clean. Excellent location.

AustraliaCentral location. Down at ground level, close to countdown other restaurants nearby (McDonald's, Subway, Chinese & Japanese restaurant) all within walking distance, wonderful location! Loved the big apartment especially the washing machine & dryer. Room was beautifully serviced when we came back to our room. Another tv in one bedroom, handy for kids. Good old Nickelodeon channels for kids, Sky movie channels. We had excellent reception using the unlimited wi-fi! Where reception is, is level 6 at an entrance road from a back street. Narrow but manageable drive into the City life entrance. Onsite parking complex (cost involved) is about a 50m walk, need to park cautiously as narrow but this is Wellington so we are quite used to the roads here being narrow, steep and windy. There's a few diagonal parking spaces at the front of Reception, we were very fortunate to find a parking space when we needed to load and unload kids from the car. Reception always helpful and very approachable, thank you!

New ZealandGreat kitchen facilities but no table to eat at? You could get rid of the clunky tv stand, put the tv on the wall and put a two seater table and chairs in. Undercooked room service chips. Really foul. Had to put them outside the room because they smelled so bad.
Location is great for central Wellington. Bathroom amenities were great. Staff as always were lovely. Kitchen facilities were very good.

New ZealandWas surprised not to have the same facilities as the exact same type of booking as last year. We only had one bathroom, whereas last year we got an ensuite too - which had been perfect for our needs. The wardrobe was only available on one side due to a water tank on the other- which was rather noisy.
Great location.

New ZealandNeeding some TLC, the paintwork needed touching up and the cleaners need to make sure that they didn't miss any spots, especially in the bathroom, a few dust bunnies.
The room was pretty good and the bed was very comfortable. Central in the city, so could walk anywhere without using transport. The room was enough for my needs and would use again.

New ZealandFront desk staff. Your previous staff were upbeat, knowledgeable, caring and went out of their way to make things happen. My experience with current staff during our stay was that they were just doing their job and a customer experience was missing. These front desk staff are your Brand!
Having stayed at Citylife before many times I love the apartment style accommodation for my family. The kitchen is user friendly. The rooms are good. Beds comfortable. Location is superb and so easy to get around Wellington. Having a washer and dryer in the apartments are awesome for a family! Perhaps from a sales point of view your staff could also upsell the 2 bedroom with 2 bathrooms to customers who are willing and wanting to pay a bit more at check in for the convenience of having 2 bathrooms.
