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 ZealandThere is not much bench space for dishes, and there are no hooks in the bathroom to hang stuff when you're taking a shower, which is a pain. Also I couldn't open the cupboard to store my clothes as the bed was too close.
Location was perfect, don't need a car, town is right behind the motel. No street noise and the road outside is easy to cross as the main road doesn't run straight past. We had 2 queen and 2 single beds all together in the one large family room, that might not suit everone but worked really well for our group, we could keep chatting from our beds. The shower had great pressure and heat.

New Zealandoverall great stay & happy helpful people. I was in a room over the pool & spa so was a constant loud water running noises all night & day, that had I being staying over longer would have been an issue for me. I sleep with earplugs when away - so one night was fine. over all great hotel rooms great just what you need for short say, it is looking a little overdue & ready for a refresh, paint & touch up, but that did not effect my goodnight & stay.
location excellent. room was good size & clean, bedding great, bed very comfy, couldn't figure out how to the work shower, but only staying over night & had had swim & hot soak in spa so cool, any more would have gone asked for help, so not an issue. bathroom was well equipped & plenty of towels & water hot. Overall great stay very comfy stay. Awesome location & very helpful & friendly owner, even with the motel packed out for busy weekend holidays & events, nothing was to much trouble.

AustraliaThe room was very small with no table only a bench. Fitting a couple of cases and bags into the room was problematic, but we managed. Our host had another larger room organised for us prior to our arrival, but it was upstairs and as we are older, not appropriate. He also offered another room which was also up several stairs.
Great location on Lake Taupo waterfront and out the back of the property a short walk to the centre of town. Our host helped a lot with a number of requests that we had, so was very obliging.
