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 ZealandSadly the restaurant is closed on Sunday night and Monday, no inhouse breakfast option and the bar was closed both nights - easy enough to offer a continental breakfast and honesty bar as many boutique hotels do internationally.
The room, the decor, checking in and the housekeeping was great..

AustraliaAll fine
Staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent location, plenty of good cafes, restaurants nearby. On a main bus route to the city. Room was very clean and well serviced. Huge bonus is the excellent restaurant in the hotel - high quality breakfasts, dinner.

United StatesThe location is a bit out of the way to really explore Auckland by foot. I tool several long walks to explore the city myself, but I didn't realize when booking that this neighborhood is more ideal to stay in with a car. The Queen room also felt a bit smaller in person than it looks in the photos.
I loved the interior design of the hotel and artwork throughout. The space felt cool, hip, yet still comfortable. The staff was helpful and very friendly to welcome me and having Ada just downstairs was delicious for wonderful dinner!

New ZealandThe ground floors rooms are a bit noisy being close to the kitchen and bar. Given that the hotel was a convent, it is inappropriate that some of framed art mocks Christianity.
An old school analogue room with a door key and a plug-in heater. A beautiful historic building sympathetically converted to a hotel.

AustraliaIt was hard to find certain things like cups for coffee etc... More information on facilities would have been useful. I think also too it was close to being a higher rated hotel than it currently is and my suggestion would be to offer room service or at least a way to order breakfast for the next morning.
I loved the quirky/cool art, the environment was warm, inviting and felt like a very cool space. Cool but also like you were at home.

New ZealandI’ve stayed here a few times and this was the first time I’ve stayed downstairs right near Ada. During the day I didn’t find this an issue at all but it was very loud in the evenings, trying to get to sleep (I was travelling for work and had a couple of early starts). There is little to no sound proofing which is a shame.
I love the character of the property, the easy parking and great location!

AustraliaAbsolutely loved everything about The Convent; the renovation and vibe is superb with awesome artwork . Lovely area to walk the streets with so many beautiful homes and gardens but to top our stay off was dinner in the restaurant which was a complete surprise, one of the most memorable meals of our lives! Sorry but can’t remember the name.

This place is absolutely beautiful, I could not recommend it enough. The rooms were immaculate, the bathrooms were beautiful, the soaps and the shower were great quality, the snacks/coffee/tea provided were great, every employee was so nice/accommodating, and the view from our balcony was stunning. Absolutely would recommend for anyone looking for a quiet and relaxed stay!
