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 ZealandFir $115.00 this was shocking. 2 Single beds in a very confined space. No outdoor seating at all. Shared kitchen which had no working stove elements. The chairs in the room were extremely uncomfortable. The shared toilets were not nice as the cubicles were so small you could barely move and the basins were literally glued together. Toilet seat had a huge crack down the base. Showers were limited to 5 mins.
It was the only place available and close to where we needed to go. No vax pass required.

New ZealandFor the cost of 2 nights stay the place is uncared for. The pictures on display are very misleading - the playground is over grown and moss covered and the BBQ Table pictured has collapsed and is laying on the ground. Rubbish and broken things just lying around outside with some exposed wires situated right next to the child's playground. I got the distinct impression that people actually LIVED here and with the couple next to us yelling when they spoke and banging in and out their room until the early morning and their smoking was constantly wafting through our windows - even though it was supposed to be non smoking. WIFI: I purchased 2 x $5 tokens (wifi) and the connection was terrible. It kept dropping on me while on a zoom call and I barely got the full use. I wouldn't recommend that you buy the wifi - it reminded me of dialup. ROOM: You again get the impression from the online pictures that it was well looked after and well maintained. But, we received no toiletries? There was chipped paint around the windows. The lighting was very dim (low watt bulbs) and the dining chairs could not be pushed under the table - so maneuvering around the already small space was difficult. Half a roll of damp toilet paper and the quality wasn't great - it just fell apart. No net drapes on the windows - which meant you couldn't have natural light and privacy together. So the rooms curtains needed to remain closed the entire time. Constant black out curtains which meant lights were always on. Under the sink (bathroom) was filthy with a hose that kept falling out. There's a floor fan that took up unnecessary room was 'in the way' with no where to plug it in. No where to hang clothing? Ironing board but, no iron? Could not sit outside as there was no outdoor seating. Kitchen facilities were ok. BEDS: The sheets were white and clean, comfortable beds and plenty of warm blankets. This was great. 10:30pm gate is padlocked no one in or out.
I liked the central location it is right in the central Whangarei and walking distance to shopping area. The reception lady was so helpful friendly and I often saw her giving residents the tour. The laundry room was sufficient $3 (Gold coins) for a wash or dry and bring powder. Shared facilities were basic but had a great fooseball table and pamphlets/info and books. I loved the 2 modern bedside lamps (in my room) however, they didn't match the dated decor of the room. Tennis court but, RV Vehicles were parked on it.

MalaysiaNot worth for $199 a night. Super hot, smells, carpets stains and had smell on beds and couch. Booked and confirmation said air-conditioned but no just 2 worn out fans. The lady said we made a mistake on booking air-conditioned room. The rest of the rooms on block were all air-conditioned. Unconscious bias I guess. We are Asians.
