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 ZealandTV did not work (an internet problem that couldn't be fixed while we were there). Lighting in room not very good with one of the main lights directly behind TV. Only had continental breakfast on first morning (not very good) and no attempt to provide decent coffee.
Lovely view from the room and nice external seating areas. Staff tried to be helpful. Restaurant dinners were excellent. Nice coffee shop across the road. Pleasant walks available on beach and wharf.

New ZealandThere was no remote for the fireplace. We asked staff and they said that the fireplace in the villa didn't work. The TV facing the bed didn't work too, which was disappointing. Not a lot of options for food, especially when traveling on public holidays and if you're vegan.
The staff were friendly and the location was beautiful.

New ZealandI emailed ahead that my husband is disabled we need a ground level room no stairs...the email was acknowledged but not responded to. We arrived to a room that could only be accessed by stairs.... Receptionist said sorry we have no other available rooms. She went check again. Yes, very sorry no other rooms. The manager happened to walk by and realised there was an issue. He was quick to rectify....he organized an apartment as that was all that was available....we appreciated that. Our room was serviced the nxt day but we wondered why the floor wasn't vacuumed. I think apartments should get 1ltre milk in the fridge. The restaurant was only available for breakfast so, the apartments should have a functional kitchenette set up...don't you think. Decent sized coffee mugs. .larger kitchen bins...the crockery is just basic, microwave small stove top perhaps This is 2 bedroomed you need to meet the needs of guests especially where there might be families in them. All of those suggestions could be reflected in the cost. But seriously it needs to happen.. We will come back as a family and hopefully find some changes.
The location of the hotel as we were on a family event trip that was local. Beautiful by the Moana

New ZealandWe were missing a remote for the tv. The manager said he would deal with it but never did so we had to chase it up with the receptionist on Day 2. The continental breakfast was disappointing in comparison to the dinners and in light of the cost.
The location was sublime. The staff were friendly. Our dinners were excellent.

New ZealandShutters were broken in our room and the fridge kept going on and off. A little maintenance is needed. Breakfast was awful. The eggs were cooked in so much vinegar it was unedible (which was gutting, after a lovely dinner there the night before).
View was great. All the facilities are so close and the catering staff were friendly. Dinner was delicious in the restaurant.

New ZealandWe found the wine list limited and extremely expensive. We went to the local store to buy a bottle of Rose for $15 and drank it in our room, rather than pay the $80 - $100 a bottle from the wine list. We would have happily paid up to $50 - $60 for our wine, and had it in the bar had we been able to.
Everything but the wine

AustraliaOnly downfall there was no microwave in the villa & no milk in the fridge. Tea, coffee & a Kettle provided but no milk & management were kind enough to heat up our food for us. Also both TV's wouldn't work/connect without a chrome cast which reception was kind enough to also supply, however it still wouldn't connect/set up on the tv in the lounge. After 90mins of re-trying & waiting, we tried it on the bedroom tv instead & it finally worked. These 3 things were not a major hassle to us, we were able to really enjoy our stay. We will definitely be back again.
Loved our villa & having a hot tub outside was icing on the cake. Villa was really nice & spacious loved it!!!

New ZealandWe booked 2 rooms. One room had 2 bedside lamps, the other none. Rooms really need bedside lamps so we moved one lamp to the other room. A grab rail for the shower would improve safety for older guests such as us.
