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.).

United KingdomEverything was scruffy and “tired”: chipped paintwork, stuff laying around, a general neglected feel outside of the room.
Warm welcome, given fresh milk and mineral water gratis, comfy bed, safe& handy car parking. The room was ok with good windows.

New ZealandSome of the small things I noticed, no weeding around the pool and gardens, you had to jiggle the door in the bathroom for it to close, the batteries in the remote didn't work. It was a pleasant stay but I may not return.
I stayed here a few years back when the place was humming and there was lots of activity going on each week for the lodge. The place was immaculate back then. It is not immaculate anymore and for someone who stays at a lot of motels, I would say that the small things really matter.

New ZealandI have stayed in a number of Motels and understand that the upkeep of units can be tiring however some of the finer points in cleanliness may need to have a bit more attention, for example on entering the room the smell was an odd linger and needed a good airing or air freshener there was dust on many surfaces including plates and cups, the toilet made a funny squeaking sound when flushed, the shower was a great size but needed some jiff, the 4 plug next to the bed was filthy however I could of said something in person or just cleaned it, I'm not a pedantic person however some standards could align better with the covid precautions stated by company.
The staff were lovely, they did their best to provide a good service. Friendly and attentive to any requests I required. the complex provided a non contact policy which is good ... to a point.

New ZealandThe shower was really really hard on the skin. Way too much pressure. And there was no curtains in the kitchen area so the room was really bright in the early mornings.
The bed was nice. The sheets were amazing. I liked the colours of the room and the heating is good! It was a pretty comfortable stay and the lady at reception was lovely.
