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 ZealandHad dinner there one night, service was a bit slower than I expected for a business hotel.
Good location to conference centre; great view from the 13th floor! Breakfast was good although the coffee machine broke down; coffees were made at the bar instead and those were very good.

Location is perfect and within walking distance to bars and restaurants and the local sightseeing. The staff are super friendly and helpful. Rooms were lovely, we had a great view of the "improving" cathedral but no outside noise at all. We requested rooms close to each other and were given opposite which was perfect. Would 100% recommend and stay here again.

New ZealandParking was a TOTAL nightmare! I have stayed at this property several times before, but never had the car with me. This time we did have the car, and it was a nightmare from start to finish. We arrived and found no visible clue as to where we should park, so we circumnavigated the block several times and finally only managed to access the hotel car park by making an illegal right turn. Two days later we needed to use the car, and on our return found the illegal right turn no longer worked because the traffic was too busy, so we spent HALF AN HOUR trying to navigate the most user-unfriendly one-way system in the Southern Hemisphere before FINALLY managing to find our way in by a legal route. DO NOT use this hotel if you are driving unless you are totally familiar with the urban planning nightmare that is post-earthquake Christchurch. And for this we paid $25 per night...
Good location, very helpful staff, good quality rooms and very high housekeeping standards.

United StatesUnfortunately our view was not the best, due to the ongoing demolition and construction of buildings which is still going on it the city from the earthquake several years ago. Not the hotel's fault , but we were not anticipating looking at a demolition site for the during of our stay. The furnishings and carpet in the room are due to for an upgrade.
Staff were very friendly and helpful throughout our staff. Breakfast was excellent with good choices and was plentiful. Location of the hotel is convenient to all central Christchurch.
