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.).

AustraliaBathroom and bench tops could of used a proper wipe over but a bit of hair, dust isnt the end of the world. The studio is seperated by a locked door to the rest of the unit, the people on the otherside of the door were noisy and disturbing which can be an issue if you want to sleep straight away.
The room has everything needed for an overnight stay, hot shower, warm room and clean sheets. Perfect for a short stay.

AustraliaThe lack of the accomodation being cleaned properly with soap left in shower, both the bathroom and kitchen bins not being emptied. No dishcloth or tea towel provided, having to request those. The worn out areas of carpet in bedroom. Also we had difficulty locating reception as the road was closed, fenced off with no direction , having to go back around to find other way in.
Spacious area, however in need of some maintenance. Casey in reception was very helpful.

United KingdomThe property felt tired and needed a deep clean. All the bedding and towels were fresh, but everything else needed more time with housekeeping or a visit from maintenance.
We were allocated a huge house with lots of family space, laundry facilities and plenty of beds. The receptionist was really friendly and helpful. The house had been warmed ready for our arrival and was comfortable all night.

New ZealandHaving been to the venue over many years it is really run down now and needs a decent upgrade. Beds are fine but pillows aren’t flash. Furniture is well used. I don’t usually comment on venues but for those who have visited previously they may be disappointed. Staff are very friendly!!
The space is great. Plenty of room in the unit and option to have another room is good if we had more people.

New ZealandVery basic accomodation, Tiny TV in a weird position on top of the microwave. Couldn't get TV to work. The shower pressure isn't great the shower arm was broken seperating from the wall. It was difficult to keep it in a comfortable position to shower as the shower head kept slipping down.
Comfortable bed. Basic accomodation when you aren't going to be spending any time in the room a good cheap option.

New ZealandIt is tired and decaying unfortunately and needs a million or more spent on sprucing it up.
This 'resort' is tired with many of the units showing rotten timbers and a general lack of maintenance. The offices / convention centre has certainly seen better days and looks wreaked. This facility needs a lot of TLC.

New ZealandWe did a wipe around the inside of the cottage when we arrived but the kitchen needs a proper clean, the splash back and wall had pasta sauce splattered on it, inside the drawers and the cabinet all need a good scrub, the coffee cups are stained and need a bleach, the fridge also it's a bit smelly, and the broom had chicken bones stuck in it, there were stains on the carpet in the lounge which needs a carpet shampoo and the couches underneath are falling apart. The bathroom cabinet needs a good wipe out and there was black hair all through the drawer where the hair drier is, the fan in the bathroom doesn't go and there were a couple of light bulbs out. Some of the duvet covers are very faded. There's black mould on the windows in the bedrooms which has been because of all the rain, Staff wasn't at the counter at 2pm check in so we came back at 4pm and they were there.
The location was great the rooms were a generous size, the beds were comfortable and there was lots of heating, the shower and toilet were clean and there were lots of towels which was great, the out look was nice, the price was very good for Taupo. The staff was friendly.
