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 email I got afterwards claiming my payment card had not made the payment despite the money going out of my account. They tried to say that my debit card was the problem but in the booking.com blurb it stated credit card eftpos (debit) cash. On further thought maybe this email was a con as I have proof themoney left my account. The bathroom was a problem being so small, but I made do and worked with what I got.
The convenience of being so close to the cbd and other amenities

New ZealandThe couch in the room was badly stained and the shower was a little touchy one minute cold next hot.
A very good priced motel in walking distance to city. Off road parking. Comfortable bed. A little noisy from road traffic but that's to be expected when you are close to a main road.

FijiOur money was deducted for two towels even though there were two towels when we got in our room. Upon enquiring they said there were four towels. It is easy way to make money. How come they never knew there were only two towels. Pathetic service.
Nothing as my money was deducted for nothing and we never took the towels. As there were only two towels in the room.

New ZealandOnly a couple of downsides. Wifi was sporadic and wouldn't stay connected for long. But we were in a room as far away from the office as possible. Could hear glass bottles being emptied into bins multiple times and music until early hours - no fault of the accommodation but something to be aware of.
Room was clean and warm. Spa worked amazingly. Host was welcoming when we arrived. Lots of sky channels. Room was much bigger than I thought I was booking.

The staff is friendly and helpful (help with bringing luggage to the room). The room is comfortable and spacious and meets all the expectations, Location is not city center, but 20 mins walk can get you to any major attractions.
