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 ZealandWe were travelling with our 7 year old grandson and chose Roomie because of the close location to other family members in Auckland. We were impressed by the size and comfort of the apartment and the location was ideal for us. The property was extremely good vale and we would use again and also recommend. The microwave wasn't working so we mentioned that to the recptionist and I am sure it would have been quickly fixed,

New ZealandIf you are worried about trains noises disrupting your stay our room facing out west was very quiet however the stair well is rather large and open plan so rather loud guest conversations do travel up and down the staircase but are not overly intrusive. Surprised to see free coffee capsules supplied but they were rather bland. Picky, picky!! Be aware, paid parking, but it is secure.
Roomie is a new hotel situated within easy walking distance of Avondale shops/cafes/facilities and a very short walk to the Avondale Train Station serving all the various suburbs heading west and of course serving many suburbs heading east including Eden Park, Newmarket and of course Auckland CBD. Our room at Roomie was just that, very roomy, with views out west over Avondale, Avondale Race Course and in the distance, the Waitakere Ranges. Comfortable double bed, very well appointed kitchen, excellent shower although the toilet had a hand-basin but no towel rail. Also missing in our room was a laundry appliance - the room and plumbing was there but no machine so if that is important for your stay check that you room has what you need. Everything worked as expected and the whole unit was spotlessly clean. Desk staff were very helpful and friendly.

New ZealandThe shower pressure was none existent, it was a halo type shower head as well which meant, at full power, you got a measly dribble. I don’t know if it was just room specific but we were in a king apartment on the 2nd floor

We stayed in the budget studio and it was huge. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. The bed was comfortable. Though it's next to the train line we didn't hear any noise at all.

New ZealandThere was nothing bad I could say about Roomie, it is good condition, clean and spacious room compared to other establishments. Within West Auckland areas, Avondale, New Lynn, Pt Chevalier. Close to shops like Avondale local stores and Lynn mall shopping centre.
I will try next time; I stay at Roomie. Menu looked interesting.

New ZealandGreat modern facilities in a good location. This is a gated hotel with 24 hour onsite security. The rooms are well thought out, well appointed and quiet. We got a room on the western side and it had views of the racecourse and hills. It was great to watch the ever changing view. The pleace was clean and tidy, and should be seriously considered if you're looking for a hotel/motel in the area. Some good cafe's are also near by.

Everything was clean and the budget studio didn't look real budget. Worth for the money. If u are couple and want a normal studio this is the way to go.
