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.).

United KingdomEverything! I liked it so much I have to itemise this review because I have so much to say: Location: a residential area close to restaurants and a shopping centre, but the central Christchurch area was not far away. It was quiet at night but still close enough to the centre that it was easy to get buses or taxis whenever needed. It’s also not a far drive from the airport! Facilities and layout: there were 4 of us staying in one of the 3-bed apartments across the road from the main manor. These apartments were perfect for us— very clean, modern, comfortable and well-equipped. Each unit was 3 floors high. Our unit had one big main bedroom + ensuite bathroom on the bottom floor, the living room/kitchen on the middle floor, and two bedrooms + one bathroom on the top floor. The kitchen area had a dishwasher, stove + oven, microwave, and separate washing machine + tumble dryer. We were staying 4 nights so it was nice to feel like we had a private home away from home. The stairs are a bit narrow and there was no lift so you may need to consider that when booking, but we were able to bring our suitcases up with no problem. The ceiling in the downstairs toilet is angled so maybe don’t put your tallest person in that bedroom. Staff: I cannot stress enough how great the staff are. They’re friendly and welcoming, but also really responsive to any requests for help and even helped us figure out how best to get to the airport for an early morning flight. They told us from the start where to find good places to eat nearby and gave their own recommendations too. I would absolutely book this place again next time I’m in Christchurch!

AustraliaThe only downside was the road noise at Pete period but this could be addressed by closing the double glazed windows
Everything about this property was delightful. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome. The apartment was clean, well appointed with high-level decoration and furnishings. it was an easy walk to local restaurants or a bar for a refreshing drink

A terrific place to stay - an old-fashioned feel with all mod coms. Lovely and helpful folk, plus a really good information folder. Good places to eat just a five minute walk away, and the centre of Christchurch is a 15-20 minute stroll. (And the drive to the airport is a breeze!)

AustraliaThe manor is located on a busy street, but it did quiet down in the evening.
The Merivale Manor is located in a little suburb about a twenty minute walk from central Christchurch. It is, however, very close to a number of good restaurants and shops, so no need to trek into the CBD for meals.
