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 ZealandThe early morning traffic as the motel is directly on the main highway. In saying that, the location was still great and if you stay on a main highway, expect noise.
The room as clean and had everything ee needed for our 2 night stay. It was handy to things that we were doing and the added bonus was the onsite restaurant. The food as yum and the portions a good size.

New ZealandThe staff were wonderful and clearly worked well together. My steak was so tender and my husband said the sticky date pudding was the best ever. The bed was enormous and comfortable. It is an older motel but the cost reflects that. It was warm and clean.

New Zealanddidnt like the fact that we arrived at night because we didnt get to see what lovely surroundings this motor inn has till the next morning.see the caves
Our room was just the right size for us & it was clean & comfortable. As we arrived after 6, the staff had already turned our heater & electric blankets on. the restaurant was only a hop,skip & jump away from our room. When you travel away from home the last thing you want to eat is a take away dinner & the food they served was home cooked. Loved it. Would also like to sincerely apologise to the motel for the delayed payment of our stay.

New ZealandThe driveway is unfortunately a bit rugged and pot-holey, but with the amount of heavy truck traffic this is completely understandable. Being located directly parallel to the main road you get a bit of road noise, particularly from heavy trucks, but not enough to ruin a night of sleep.
The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and helping us plan our day, as we'd traveled to do the caves experience nearby. The restaurant meals were excellent, great steak and burgers and they were very accommodating for my vegetarian partner. The room itself was a little basic and showing its age, but perfectly comfortable and warm with kitchenette, tv, and private bathroom so the important things were there.

AustraliaThe motel is rundown. Family unit is beneath the restaurant which is closed on weekends. There's a narrow pathway outside the unit that steps down onto the main driveway. I feared one of the kids would fall off the edge, worse in front of a car. There is nowhere for kids to play safely outside unit. The ranch slider had to be kept closed due to rain and traffic noise (even though double glazed, traffic speeding past within 50mts away, you can still hear it). If there was a verandah outside, atleast the door could have stayed slightly open to help circulate air and shoes could be left outside. There are no other windows in unit to open for ventilation. A/c not working properly. Smelly, musty, dusty. Old woolen blankets on beds. No laundry facility. We checked out a day earlier as just not nice. The proprietors wouldn't have known as they didn't really seem to demonstrate any hospitality from the time we arrived. K
Waitomo is a beautiful destination, I liked that the motel was close to destination. The king sized bed and 2 singles were comfortable but squashed into a little unit. I had stayed here a couple of times before, it had always been nice, it's changed.
