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 ZealandThe only issue was multiple staff came across a little homophobic unfortunately. The staff read the note about our honey moon and upgraded us which was amazing but ignored the part of the note that said “MRS & MRS” and wrote on the card “MR & MRS” All guests should feel welcome.
We got upgraded to the 19th floor for our Honey Moon! The view was so beautiful and we loved it. The team at The Grand went the extra mile leaving us a card and some bubbles. Very Grateful

United States2 elevators for 17 floors is a problem. The center elevator was out of commission and apparently has been for a while. Had to wait a while for the elevator and then when it finally came it was full. Need to get center elevator back online pronto!!
Location! Right in the center of it at SkyCity. Room was very nice with a great view of the Sky fallers jumping from the Sky Tower!

United KingdomRoom service lacked a bit. When we checked in the reception said they’d have our cases sent up so we headed up, but waited almost hour for luggage to come and nothing, so had to go downstairs and get it ourselves. Slightly underwhelmed with breakfast restaurant…. Firstly, we were sat at table and asked if we wanted to order poached eggs or omelette with just 2 ingredients. If you wanted extra omelette ingredients you had to go to buffet counter to select and add to a separate plate, then unpick your omelette to add your extras. Poached eggs, assuming you wanted these with toast, you had to get your own toast and try to time this for the arrival of your eggs! Overall, a bit confused and inefficient in their structure here! The coffee and tea felt like something from an 80s convention centre, with those industrial hot water boilers (which btw we quickly realised had ran out of water 🤦) and the old school filter coffee from those classic American dinners). A good finger grip also needed for the coffee/tea mugs, as the tiny handle seemed ornamental vs any practical use 👌 Later that evening we asked concierge for a bucket of ice to be sent up up room. Again, an hour went past and nothing, so we decided to hit the pillows as too knackered. Then guess what, appx 15mins after head down and just entering the ‘REM mode’ a bang at door🤦 Decided to ignore it but this member of staff was persistent to say least bit held firm. Following what felt like the 7min scene from the Cable Guy movie, he finally left 😮💨
After almost 32hrs of flights and transfer times we arrived at hotel at 5am 😮💨. Parked up in SkyCity main car park and headed up elevator to hotel reception. Slight moment of panic when told we didn’t have a reservation 🫨, but receptionist quickly pointed out we were in wrong hotel (SkyCity vs Grand SkyCity….common mistake apparently 🤦). Anyway, was just a 1min walk round corner to the Grand 😅 Room wasn’t a available but no surprise, so we stowed luggage with concierge and grabbed a coffee at Goodtimes Coffee just round corner and then headed down to marina and rented a coupe of scooters 🛴🛴! Got into room just before 11am which was a relief as it could’ve been later given check in was officially 2pm. Overall, great location and room was nice with fantastic view over marina and SkyTower (floor 17). Bed was lovely and very comfortable too, and shower was perfect in terms of water temperature and flow 👌

United KingdomStaff communication wasn’t great. I wasn’t told by front desk that I didn’t have breakfast included when I checked in. When I went to breakfast for the next 3 mornings, not once was I told i wasn’t on the list. Then I got hit with a £100+ bill at checkout for breakfast. Had I been told it wasn’t included, I would have gone elsewhere
Comfortable, clean and peaceful room. Facilities were great.
