How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Small details: the broken glass door was probably not a good introduction to the place. It makes it look rough and is a bit offputting. Also, although I appreciate the smart TVs with the option of using our streaming services, sometimes you don't want to faff about with the tech, scanning QR codes, etc and just want to watch a bit of mindless tele. So easy access to the terrestial channels would be great.
A rare find for commuters to Wellington. A central locaton with an allocated space to park your car! That in itself should be enough to convince people. The location is central: a 5 minute walk and you're in Cuba Street. Central Wellington locations like Parliament buildings can be reached on foot within half an hour. That is time you would spend driving around parking buildings and paying premium prices for the privilege: I will just remind people of point 1 again? Central parking in a secure location for free. People love this location for the ferry and I can see why. The acommodation was roomy for an apartment, with a perfectly adequate kitchenette and fantastic bathroom. It was roomy enough that the four of us weren't tripping over one another. With two teen kids, we appreciated the bedroom offering two single beds or them and we were grateful for the room. Our king bed was very comfortable. The views were amazing. Although the room was older, you could not fault the cleanliness and the condition it was in. It was beautifully presented and spotless. Everyone was friendly and welcoming and we were well taken care of. Thank you.

The property was very clean but was looking a little tired from general wear and tear. It would be great to have a mirror close to a power point for hair drying as the power point in the bathroom is just for shavers.
It was fantastic to have a place where we could park our car safely at no extra cost. It was also good to have 2 beds in the one room. We were situated at the back of the property so it was pretty quiet.

Major note to managers. We found the fire doors on the stairwells “wedged” open. Please stop this as if a fire were to happen it would travel up the stairwell. Reception needs new automated doors on the front and the new/old furniture to be stored else where (perhaps in an apartment awaiting refurbishment).
Location to Cuba street and museums. Flat had been renovated to an amazing high standard (this comment based on walking into reception). Bed was very comfortable and spacious, bathroom was amazing. Staff were brilliant as we have found across all our stays in these lovely islands.
