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 ZealandBit dingy, remote room from rest of accommodation, on checkout no-one in reception so I waited and waited. Called mobile number as suggested but mobile had been left in reception!! Waited around 25 minutes for someone (hopefully) to turn up - but no-one did, so left a note advising them of issue. Why it doesn't open its restaurant as baffling as they would have a good number of clientele - but I guess they don't need (or want) they hassle.
Room was OK and reasonably sized. Good location for what we needed.

SwitzerlandFridge was dirty and leaking. Only hot water in the shower, really hot! We got keys to an other room to shower. They really try, but the staff has a hard time. There are new owners and it seems, they need to fix every installation first. Next season they will probably get much better reviews.
In foot distance to Doubtful Sound Excursion. Diner at the Church was very good.

JapanVery much overpriced, and very run down facilities. The room floor was peeled off and was covered by tapes. There were spiderwebs everywhere in the room, and needs better cleaning. Overall great staff and location but the building is very run down and needs better cleaning. With this quality of facility the stay is only worth 150NZD/night.
The view from the room was great. The reception staff was very nice and had us checked in early as our room was ready.

GermanyIt was a somewhat outdated room but you can expect that after seeing the picture. What made me dislike the stay were the dead flies on the windowsill and a moth that was squeezed dead beetween my bed linen and the bed sheet. Luckily the reception was still open and i got new ones.

New ZealandWe were booked into a double room, I was given the keys for our room and directions on how to get to it. The room had two single beds. I called reception, and it was quickly sorted. The vacility is a bit tired but it is clean. If you arrive on a Monday, be aware that there is nowhere to eat unless you drive through to Te Anau. We found Manapouri a great spot to stay for our day trips and is way more peaceful than Te Anau, we stayed three nights.
The bed was comfortable, great shower pressure and a great view of the Lake. We stayed three nights and found it a great spot to get to our day trips, Milford Sound, Te Anau, and Doubtful Sound. Te Anau was very busy when we were there. We really enjoyed the peacefulness of Manapouri.

New ZealandI am in a wheel chair and there is no way someone would have been able to get into the room if they did not bring a ramp which we did. Cleanliness of floor in shower is not good. Toilet was faulty and had not been flushed by previous resident. Sofa had no support. Place has obviously been upgraded ... just needs more cleaning in shower toilet area. People were nice and helpful, just needs a step up with cleaning.
Disability rails were in toilet and shower. Bed and Bedroom was good.
