We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 ZealandNo tea towels or cloths for the kitchen. No anti slip mat in the bath for showering. No bath plug. Light from outside front door too bright - for sleepers who were downstairs in the double bed. Downstairs heater not assembled properly - the heater was sitting on the legs, which were not properly attached. No extra blankets for colder nights. Single bed in big bedroom upstairs had very loose legs and it felt like we were going to end up on the floor whenever we rolled over.
The price.

New ZealandIt gave us kainga Ora emergency housing vibes when we walked in. The carpet didn't feel clean and there were holes in it. Everything was outdated. It said reception closed at 9pm so we needed to collect the key from another motel, we got to the accommodation after 8pm, no reception, and walked 5 mins down the road to look for the lock box that had our key in it. We eventually found the lock box and retrieved our key. There were no cloths or tea towels for the dishes, no face cloths or hand towels, and the shower curtain was close to the shower that it would try and stick to you while your showering.
It worked for what we needed and the beds were comfortable. The location was great for travel to Naenae

New ZealandThere were stains on the bed spreads and the carpet needs shampooing otherwise the room was good for the price. I used my own bedding.
The helpful staff were most accommodating, and she went out of her way to ensure I was happy. She even changed my room to be able to park my car outside of it. There was a big bus blocking the parking for the room that I was first allocated. AWESOME!

New ZealandWe booked 3 studios and 1 family unit. All the units were very tired, musty, carpets were dirty. There was only 1 towel in the family unit - where were 6 staying. The studio units had little or no cutlery, hardly any towels. There were no extra blankets or pillows. Thank goodness for KMart down the road for us to buy what we needed. The rooms weren't serviced, what towels we did have were taken but none were replaced as it was raining and they didn't replace them as they left the clean ones sitting in the rain in shopping trolleys all afternoon. We finally got fresh towels day 3 of our stay. The fold out couches couldn't be unfolded so we had to purchase an airbed blanket and linen. In one of the units, the shower constantly leaked, the shower curtains in 2 of the units were far too big and too long and filled up the bottom of the shower. We paid a lot of money and travelled a long way for our whānau function so we were very disappointed.
Parking and good location was pretty much the only good thing about our stay.
