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 ZealandRooms with the Balcony were accessed by stairs. Hard if you're not able to walk far or upstairs. The main bedroom was very draughty and cold with the bed beside the window.
Good location close to shops and the lake. The room had good facilities and plenty of bedding. Good view of the lake. Straight across the road from the Hole in one challenge. Has a pool area, good to relax in. Very well sound insulated, especially for those with noisy children. The staff were very friendly and helpful with locating our key as we were due to check in late.

ArgentinaWe really enjoyed the stay with my family and my parents who came to see New Zealand, we used the pool and recreation facilities. Everything clean and in order. I didn't have much contact with the staff because I arrived after check-in time, but they explained everything I needed to do well. Beautiful place, very close to the center. highly recommended.

The lady on reception was so lovely and very helpful. The laundry washing machine was free to use and only $3 to dry. There was an indoor swimming pool on site and a games room. The bedroom and kitchen facilities were just as it describes. Would definitely go back here and you could see a bit of the lake from the doors and balcony.

SingaporeAll the rooms adjacent to Titiraupenga Street all have the bedroom windows facing the street. It’s right at a 90 bend in the street and vehicles rounding the corner and accelerating cause sufficient noise to disturb your sleep.
Excellent location. Scenic views and yet close to restaurants, shops, amenities and the Taupo Sunday market. The property looked newish & the room was very clean. The rooms were airy with great views towards the lake. Multiple electric sockets available in the room and a full suite of cookware & cutlery was provided.
