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 ZealandMy only disappointment is that the pool was not usable, cold and not particularly clean looking and your whole business is let down by your untidy grounds. Weeds everywhere. Just showed general neglect all round which is a shame as the setting on the lakeside is beautiful. Had I not booked online and had just driven in on a whim, I probably wouldn't have stayed there as the place looked so neglected.
Your cleaning staff were just lovely, they are a credit to your business. Very friend, helpful and approachable. They do a great job of the rooms.

New ZealandThe bed was uncomfortable particularly because of the presence of the electric blanket cable connector located on the top of the blanket in the top left-hand corner. The only item missing from the cutlery was a pair of scissors required to open the milk carton.
The room was very neat and comfortable (except for the bed), well appointed with fittings and furniture and had a clean and spacious bathroom. Having access to Netflex was an additional bonus.

NetherlandsThere is a note warning for the troutflies trying to enter your room when sun sets. Maybe good to emphasise at check in as they got active early and we needed to spray them out. Spray was in the cupboard. We should have closed the door earlier.

United KingdomThere was no one on reception when we arrived at around 5.30pm despite saying it was open till 9pm. The door was locked. The next day no one was on reception again when I wanted to buy some washing powder. The children’s play area and pool are a little run down.
We loved the location by the lake. The property was very clean and comfortable. A peaceful location not far from supermarkets and the main attractions of Rotorua.

JapanWhen we arrived at 4 pm, we went to the reception to check-in, but no one was there. We rang the bell, which we were supposed to do, but no answer. After 20 mins waiting around, a guy came out, probably sleeping, and asked us our name and ID, and gave us a key and told us our room was right there. No apology, no explanation of the facility, nothing. We had to ask other guests how to check-out early morning and also, they told us about the bugs problem at night. If we didn't know that, our room would have been covered with the bugs!
The location was nice, right in front of the lake. We didin't have a lake view from the room, but we could just go outside. Big queen-sized beds and a kitchen. Very comfortable.

AustraliaCouple of small maintenance issue that where quick fixes, the grounds need a good tidy up. Rooms need better separation on decks for better privacy as neighbor just kept walking straight past our unit with their kids and pairing into room.
Inside the room was good, couple of minor issue man hole not covered(stood on chair and found cover to put in place) toilet seat loose, This Motel has potentially recently changed hands as the ground need a lot of work but the rooms where clean and tidy with good facilities.

United KingdomThe Little swimming pool looked like it hadn’t been properly cleaned for a long time and same for the hot tub which was a shame as would have been great to use either or both in the good weather . The whole open area and lawn in centre just looked scruffy .
Good location at lakeside about 4 miles out of centre near the Airport . Helpful staff . Clean and comfortable accommodation in cabins at reasonable price . The complex is a bit dated and could be benefit from a refresh . Particularity the leasure facilities.
