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 ZealandReally friendly staff, great location, lovely Harbour view, nice and clean well maintained buildings, basic but very functional facilities. A staff member gave us a very generous voucher for a local restaurant on the second night, an unexpected treat!

New ZealandWas an issue getting anything on the TV other than YouTube. Even the staff were perplexed by it, other than to say...."too many units using internet at the same time" I'm not sure that is a reasonable answer. That needs looking at.
A very quiet environment. Peaceful and refreshing.

New ZealandI appreciate the building was of the older type, been there for many years I would say. Therefore, the walls are not suitably designed which resulted in the unit being very cold, even at this time of the year, especially during the nights and early morning. The heater became useful. Unfortunately we had noisy neighbours, could hear nearly everything being said etc. Not that I mind that, but through until 1am to 3am was a bit much! Toilets, doors opening closing etc. The trains, no problem :) The kitchen could have been cleaner. I washed all surfaces, plates, cups, cutlery and drawer etc. They felt very sticky to touch. The floors were very dusty and sticky to walk on barefooted. Linen supply, bit short on supply initially, and then were asked every day if we needed new towels etc. I assumed they would have been automatically supplied. Because of the coldness of the units, the used towels etc. stayed damp all day. The young lady was very obliging, and supplied what we needed when asked. I would suggest a small brush/broom and tray be supplied, especially in units where the occupation was for a week or so (like us). The floor needed a tidy up occasionally. The bathroom/toilet was very dusty and observed long black strands of hair visible. (Did not belong to us!) I appreciate your tariff is very reasonable for the studio unit. Size of the room was not a problem for two people, just could have been a bit sharper on the cleanliness.
The location was great, walkable to plenty of restaurants etc. Such a sunny spot, we had great weather for our stay. Balcony was great.
