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 ZealandNothing, we had a great experience and night there. Probably just a note its a bit of a walk from town but thats not major to me.
Room was very well kept and tidy and clean. Bed was fresh and smelt nice, room was an excellent size - lots of room (would be great for a family with two kids as it had two single beds as well as the queen. Good kitchen amenities (not that we needed it but handy to know). Bathroom was great with spa bath and shower and good water pressure. Good location in town - not far from main town and good amount of parking.

New ZealandRoom was smaller than we expected. I awoke to bites all over my legs and back, but hubby didn't. I do have allergies so it may of been something in the bedding that I was sensitive too. Room space relative to the photos are deceptive.
Bathroom was clean and shower water pressure was fine. Tidy. Quiet, no noise. Adequate parking. Location was good for what we needed for one night. The body balm supplied in the toiletries helped with the bites.

United StatesAfter spending a week in more remote locations, I was dreading the hustle & bustle of a large town. Bella Vista was the low-key retreat I needed, just 2 blocks off the lake & a short walk to cafes & shops. All the amenities I needed (loved the Natural Earth with Active Manuka Honey toiletries!) without paying for frills I didn’t want. Definitely would stay again / longer & recommend to anyone!

New ZealandDidnt like the pillows used in this room as were too soft.
Thus room was tidy, clean, good size, and had all you needed for a nights stay. Room had gd lighting, warm and cosy, rooms are sound proof, value for money and good parking vinicity. Close to everything. Tis our favourite place to book when staying in Taupo!
