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 ZealandShower rail and curtain need to be replaced, rail was rusting and curtain was old and dirty. Unfortunately there was Karaoke happening downstairs and didn't stop until around 11.30pm which meant we couldn't get a good nights sleep ahead of our long journey home the next morning.
Friendly helpful staff, handy location to the event we were attending, clean linen and comfortable bed.

New ZealandBar is directly underneath rooms and there is no insulation so the karaoke that goes till 11:30pm and the drunk yelling and screaming until around 12:30am is not enjoyable if you have had a long day of travel.
Perfect for short term stay. Easy to find and in the middle of town. Rooms are a good size, clean and tidy. Good shower pressure.

New ZealandI would like to say I always like to focus on the positives when reviewing but this time it hard not to mention all of this. Not worth $120 per night. Room 4 looking over the main Road Found a used condom in the rubbish bin in our newly cleaned room. Tea cup and saucer stuck with old milk stains. Didnt think about the noise from being above a pub with Karaoke was very loud. Road noise also loud no sound proofing. Carpet is worn and stained. Bathroom or drains smelt of urine a bit unpleasant. Other guest or residents were very loud when shutting door at 6am.
Comfortable bed , great water pressure and central for Waitara events. I did take my concerns to manager and was apologized too but she also said most of the issues weren't their fault and couldn't be helped.

New ZealandThe room was above a public bar, and my visit coincided with a karaoke evening till 11.30pm. Having said that, I knew from previous reviews that it could be noisy and so it didn’t come as a surprise.

New ZealandBest place to park is on the street as the carpark was not safe and covered with broken glass bottles… It would have been good to have a chair to sit on in the room …also an iron and ironing board as we had a function to attend… and couldn’t iron shirt …
Comfy bed for the night … neat tidy, has a restaurant and bar on site central to family event in Urenui The shower was nice and hot… the restaurant food was good but not much on the menu due to availability …
