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.).

AustraliaNothing - loved everything about it.
We stayed at the Sudima at the beginning of our stay in Christchurch and then again at the end of our holiday and I was so happy to return. The room was spacious, clean and the bed was so comfortable. I could not fault a thing. The kitchenette was very well equipped and the staff were more than happy to supply us with a toaster, plus some cooking utensils. It is nice and central and about a 10-15 minute easy walk to the riverside restaurants and centre of the city. Parking is available on site if you require (at approximately $30 per day) or you can park in the street. You will need to pre-book valet parking if required. There is also a guest laundry on the 4th floor which is always a great bonus while travelling. Great place to stay.

AustraliaThe walls must be very thin which I didn't like. While sitting in the main room, we could hear the people next door talking (we couldn't understand what they were saying). In the bedroom the walls felt even thinner as I could I hear the person next door snoring!
This was a great stay. Check-in was quick and easy, and staff were very helpful and friendly. The accommodation itself was very nice and had everything we needed - even a yoga mat and hair straightener! I liked the added touch of a throw blanket for the couch. The location was great for us, as we didn't want to be directly in the city but close enough to walk to the city. The bathroom was great with a sensor lighting underneath the floating shelf (make sure you close the door at night otherwise the sensor light will come on while rolling over in bed).

United StatesThe beds are the worst beds known to mankind. Like sleeping on concrete with sheets over it. Total bummer considering how great everything else was.
Our room was a suite at the front of the hotel and was HUGE! And we had an enormous balcony. Loved the room, kitchenette and bathroom. Very modern amenities, Amazon Echo in every room, and we had a washer/dryer which really helped while traveling with a family. Also loved the proximity to Hagley Park.

New ZealandWe tried to take the bus which is right outside and that was fairly efficient but hard to know where it would take us not being local its always a challenge with buses !
The hotel was clean, modern, quiet and the staff were friendly. It was a little further from town centre than we realised - thankfully it was sunny and we could walk, would have been a challenge for us if it rained as we didn’t want to taxi and uber.

United KingdomThe hairdryer lead, the cost and the location of the room
Hotel was very clean and the bed was comfortable. Wifi was reliable. Location was about 15 mins walk to the city centre. Parking was available - at a daily cost. The room and bathroom were a bit smaller than the Sudima in Kaukoura which we'd stayed in before. Same issue with the hairdryer - the wiggly lead meant it was hard to reach your head! We didn't like the location of our room which looked out over an atrium outside the restaurant. Not an issue with noise but you had to keep the curtains closed for privacy and you couldn't see what the weather was like before going outside the hotel. We didn't try the restaurant for breakfast or dinner. We felt the hotel was expensive.
