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 ZealandBeautiful lodge with great facilities. It is quiet and peaceful. My little Pug, Pixel, travelled with me as he had an operation in Hamilton. There are a lot of grassy areas for dogs to get a good run here. The room was very clean and new. The bed was one of the most comfortable I have ever slept in. The owners were lovely. They were kind enough to give me a big discount on my second night. I definitely recommend Podium Lodge.

New Zealandcan't think of anything
For cyclists this place is nirvana and so close to the Avantidrome, river cycle trails and long straight quiet country roads out west [all accessible just outside the main entranceway] Great spacious courtyards with shade sails and plenty of grass areas for kids/dogs to run around on too. Tucked away from the main town centre so in a lovely quiet rural spot. The "Hub" kitchen/dining room is an awesome facility with all the cooking equipment/appliances you could imagine or need with a very modern clean commercial feel. My grandkids described it "like staying at a Resort Poppa" Also such courteous and helpful staff [inc housekeping too] - eg extra fold out bed no problem, extra new towels and printing/scanning work docs etc effortless and handled "confidentially". Well done everyone at Podium Lodge - fantastic team effort. I've stayed there before and have already booked another stay later in the year with more cycling friends ... can't wait :-) :-)

New ZealandIt didn't feel private as all the rooms looked out on each other and the whole room is visible from outside looking straight into another room , also the choice of a pull down blind instead of a curtain to cover the glass door abd front window added to this
The Room, bed and facilities were exceptional, everything you need for a comfortable stay with a village like feel perfect for groups or families

New ZealandJust the showers being inconsistent regrettably. Parking is pretty tight and first come first served basis. Can be quite a bit further than you would like if you return in the evenings.
It’s fairly new and well appointed modern interior decor. The grounds are well maintained and pathways lighting is good after dark. Most importantly the accommodation is modern and very well maintained. It’s clean and pleasant to live in for a couple of nights, for sure. However, for some reasons unknown to us, the hot water shower for the second person was erratic ie hot and cold.

New ZealandThe location. It’s kind of secluded and away from the city.
The place looks modern. Well maintained courtyard. They have laundry room, bigger kitchen aside from your own personal kitchen inside the room, big benches and table to chill outside, decent parking area inside the property.
