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 ZealandRooms were quite dark - I was trying to study in between outings, and the lighting was inadequate, even in daytime it was dark! Often in hotels the tea making area has a little extra light, but even there it was dark, and enclosed in a 3 walled tea making space meant you couldn't really see what you were doing. Breakfast had no fresh fruit - all tinned fruit.
Close enough to the beach despite no views. Pool was fun for the kids even though it was cold, in summer if would be perfect. Pool towels were provided. Breakfast was varied enough for kids and adults tastes and had alternative milks (oat, soy, almond) and GF bread My husband liked that the AC worked very well, able to get down to 17 degrees The reception staff had previously given us a quote for breakfast that was less than the published price once we got there, and the staff accommodated us to keep the discounted price which was very kind of them. Also the washing machine "gobbled" our coins, and the staff kindly rescued the coins and allowed us a free use of the washing machine for our hassle.

New ZealandBathroom fan was annoyingly loud, couldn't turn the light on without it going as well. Communication with the front desk staff was nigh impossible, much better/friendlier on the last day. Wouldn't let me extend my stay for the same price/room type despite it still being available on Booking.com, so went elsewhere.
Great having free EV chargers on site! Breakfast wasn't bad, kids ate for free which was nice. Overall, comfortable and clean enough generally.

AustraliaThe price of the buffet breakfast had been advertised as $16.50 pp, but when I paid, I was charged $25pp. The buffet was quite ordinary.
Property was lovely, the rooms were large and stunning. Staff were friendly. It was easy walk to the Main Street of Paihia and would recommend this accommodation to others.
