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.).

AustraliaPool is shocking - like things growing in the grout shocking. We paid to go to an offsite pool as it was so awful.
I love this hotel. Location is fabulous, for food and adventures. Staff are always lovely and parking is so easy, albeit this time we had to pay for parking, where as for the 13 years we havent.

AustraliaI notifed the reception about the lift button not working on the 1st floor but felt like it was being ignored and no way to record or document this at hotel. They require a "Feedback" form in the room that one can drop off at reception. The long wait for check in was not helpful as we had just driven 6 hours and even though we could get a our bags out of the car and stored for a the time we had no access to clean up to go out.
We had two rooms. The sheets and bed was very good and size of room was ok.

New ZealandThe property is slightly dated. Rooms were fine but the bathrooms definitely need upgrading. Lobby area had carpet lifting that could be hazardous for elderly or disabled folks.
The property is in a prime location. Close to lake and restaurants etc. Building itself is nice and has a great frontage with bar and outdoor seating. Layout was good and amenities are very good especially for families.

New ZealandThe room had a damp smell. The carpet was stained and did not look very clean. The bars were noisy. I asked the receptionist to extend our stay - she gave me the impression she had done it, but was not clear that I needed to book it myself. Towels were not replaced until late evening.

New ZealandThat I had to keep asking for things to be replaced-toilet paper and fresh towels, rubbish removal. Also didn't clean our room for 3 days but did it once we asked at reception.
The location was great, right by the lake, park and Eatstreat and close proximity to walk to city centre and Government gardens/Event Centre. Comfy beds and quiet(we were facing the city side). They have a pool and thermal hot water spas which is nice but they could do with a good clean.

FijiThe pool was too small for the size of the hotel- it was always crowded at different times of the day/night, with no lounge chairs to relax by the pool. The buffet (cooked) breakfast was average and the restaurant may have been understaffed during our stay as tables weren’t cleaned/cleared from guests that dined earlier in the morning, limiting our seating options.
Great central location. Staff were friendly and professional, especially those servicing the rooms. Check-in and -out was smooth and our room was as advertised and serviced daily. The continental breakfast had a good variety of foods/drinks and it was great that they allowed guests 16-years and under to eat for free.
