How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

The room was quite small, and the toilet could afford a few more rails for hanging towels and clothes. Don't quite agree with the 3 in 1 shampoo, conditioner, body wash.
Good central location. Close to shops and eateries. Comfortable beds.

The bathroom was a wet room with a curtain around the shower rather than having a specific shower cubicle which was just unexpected.
The location is in central Christchurch and fitted the need to go to the conference centre at Te Pae conference centre. The food at breakfast was exceptional. The room met my needs. The bed was a double and made every morning and has a large TV which you can chromecast to. The staff were very helpful and arranged for me to have extra hot chocolate pouches.

Room was very small, specially bathroom. Though its a budget hotel, little space could add so much value for the customers.
Located centrally and was very convenient. Enjoyed the hot breakfast. Clean and neat, all basic facilities are provided and comfortably placed. Well decorated lobby and common areas.

Very minor: there were three of us booked but only two towels the first night (I didn’t realise until it was too late and no one answered the housekeeping phone). But very minor issue.
Excellent location, close to bus station, shops and food.

The room was fairly sterile. There wasn't really information about the amenities in the hotel, you had to ask or look yourself. The closet was in a strange location. Using the key card to power the lights was a little annoying.
Great location, within walking distance to most activities (tram, garden, market). The staff was also very kind and stored my luggage for me before and after checking in. The laundry facilities were also great. They even had free detergent. The breakfast was decent, plenty of food, might be lacking for those who don't eat meat/pork.

Bathroom tap was leaking over the bench and eventually pooling on the floor and one of the beds in our room kept rolling around and pushing away from the wall - not a biggy but was a little annoying.
Great location, super central and close by to many local restuarant, bar & retail places. Paid parking options available either at the reception or within a short walking distance. Staff were all amazing. Breakfast buffet was yummy with many options to pick from. Bar was equally good and we were able to order cocktails that weren't on the drinks list. Room was comfortable and warm, equipped with basic essentials. Tv also had many channels to choose from and included a casting option, perfect for pairing your own devices.
