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 ZealandThere was nothing we didn't like or were unhappy with. It is old but well maintained, everything works fine. The bedrooms are upstairs and the stairs are narrow and steep. It would be a problem to those with physical limitations but was no problem for us.
This was excellent for the cost. It is a 'backpacker' type accomodation but was clean, cosy, everythinng worked well, staff were very helpful. If you are on a budget you will be very pleased, if you just like to save you will be very happy here. If you want luxury look elsewhere. But clean comfortable quiet handy, this is great. We are mid 60's and could easily pay more but like to save and we liked it and would stay here again.

New ZealandCar problems delayed our arrival by a day and the inflexibility of the booking service meant a financial penalty. The motel proprietor was unable to contact Booking.com to try to sort it out. I am unlikely to use Booking.com in the future

New ZealandThe older design, with a sloped ceiling in the bedroom and steep stairs, was a little inconvenient.
Practical place for us with a separate upstairs bedroom and car parking right outside the front door. Good laundry and outside lines to dry our gear. We really appreciated being allowed to store our bikes inside a secure room.

New ZealandThe place was looking a bit tired and the bed was a saggy (although I only tested one!) Technically you could have up to 6 people staying in one of these 1-bedroom cabins, which would have felt pretty cramped as the living space was quite small, but it was fine for 2 people (up to 4 would be manageable I think). It was a fairly long walk into town but an easy drive.
The chalet was cosy and the grounds were nice. We didn't actually see the staff but they left clear instructions. Definitely had more character than a motel room.

AustraliaThe sleeping arrangements were not great as we were all squished in together, and the stairs and just the upstairs in general were extremely noisy. Every time someone moved it was very loud. The stairs were really steep so hard to navigate at night.
The location of this accommodation was very beautiful. We had a perfect view of Mount Ruapehu which was just amazing! Having washing facilities was also very helpful as we are a family of 4.

New ZealandThe toilet's quite small. Also, I had to open wide one of the windows upstairs because it was so warm, and unfortunately, the air-conditioning's downstairs only. Then, a cat came in through that open window, which went through my bag.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating, and the place was clean.

New ZealandThe chalets are made of wood internally, and no carpeting- so was very noisy. Could hear all downstairs movements from upstairs.
Ossie's was great! The owners were not there on check in (we arrived later in day), but left clear instructions with contact details. Our chalet was clean & tidy, and had great facilities whilst we got prepared for hiking the Tongariro Circuit.
