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.).

Simple property with a comfortable bed and smart TV. Not too far to walk into town, either. The bathroom was really good size and finished well Staff were really nice, too! Finally, in the room you couldn’t smell the sulphur, which is important in Rotorua

New ZealandOnly two things to critique. My room was directly under the stairs for the second story units, which made getting in to the room a bit harder. The lining on the shower floor has come up a little, feels uncomfortable pushing around air bubbles while showering.
Beds and pillows were comfortable, the kitchen was sleek and clean. The armchairs were also comfortable. Staff were polite, no mucking around at check-in/check-out. The room is massive, with wnough space to invite my family over for a quick meal. The rooms have decent soundproofing. I will stay here again

New ZealandJust how exposed it is to the road. The toilet may need an update. Could hear everything above us so maybe better soundproofing but its alguds. It is what it is.
Good room. The beds were massive. Best motel bed iv ever slept on. If you're a big person like me, the matress held my weight no sweat. The room, kitchen and bathroom was clean and tidy. Good supply of everything. Parking was awesome as well. Heaps of space on both sides of the truck. Its the small things that matter to big people like me.

Well appointed motel unit and tastefully refurbished. The kitchen are has everything you need including a hob. Spacious bedroom and living area. I was expecting some street noise given the proximity to Fenton St but it was nice and quiet overnight. Walkable to town if you want too.

New ZealandCould maybe do with a blind on the kitchen window for those super sunny days which we were lucky to experience.
Location was great for our purpose. We were driving to the Lakes so it being at the further end of Fenton Street was ideal. The street it is on the corner on is lovely and nice and quiet. The parking was good too as we had a jet ski with us and they were very accommodating.

GermanyMy room looked like someone started to renovate it but went away before finishing the job. Half a shelf in bathroom is missing, bathroom door is really poorly constructed: you can see through huge gaps on the sides and opening it fully bends the doorknob. The studio was clean on the surface only. Dishes in kitchen stained from previous guests. There are no hooks on the walls to put stuff, except for one wall in closet. Lots of single use soap and shampoo.
Staff was very friendly, location was as good as Rotorua gets, contrary to other reviews, my connection with WiFi was remarkably fast and steady.

New ZealandNot so much a criticism of the accommodation but of Booking.com - the motel's account and/or the secure messaging function was compromised and I was sent scam messages that could have resulted in me losing a lot of money from my credit card. It's not a new issue, based on Googling around; please look into fixing this!
Very handy location; just a few minutes drive from the city centre and all the restaurants, shops and supermarkets located there. Facilities were clean, tidy and comfortable; the rooms have evidently been renovated not so long ago, the more modern amenities on offer as a result were appreciated. Staff were helpful.
