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 bed in our initial room had a small and terribly worn mattress, sagging on both sides and could hear & feel the old springs. (which was contrary to all the reviews I had read?!) Salil (reception) saved the day eventually and moved us to another room which had the kind of large supportive mattress we’d expect for the premium price. Thanks Salil!
Fantastic views to the hills. Kitchen fittings very neat and functioning. Lots of accessible parking. Sound proofed ceiling, so very quiet

New ZealandThe microwave juts out from the surrounding joinery. It’s near the jug and I knocked my head a couple of time as I leaned over. One learns to be careful! I couldn’t find instructions on how to work the spa bath and had to get help. This was quickly provided though. Otherwise all was good.
Excellent location with friendly helpful staff. Close to shopping and the Hot Pools. Onsite free parking. Double glazed windows. Spa bath. Bonus free meal at local Indian restaurant for May. Quiet and relaxing spot. Good internet wifi. Daily plunger coffee and cookies. The photo is a view from outside the sliding doors of my ground floor apartment.

New Zealandthat we couldnt stay longer this time.
Fabulous views, underfloor heating magic, room service very good. Location close to centre of Hanmer Springs, walking distance to the thermal pools. Will sure come back to stay at this property. Could see the snow on the mountain tops. Frosty when we stayed but sunny days. Loved the autumn colours at this time of the year. Easy drive from Christchurch.

AustraliaThere was a horrific smell, narrowed it down to the bathroom, thinking it was coming from the drains? It was very bad, although shutting the door to the bathroom seems to eliminate the smell drifting back into the apartment. Laundry facilities shut/closed at 7pm which was very unfortunate, due to travelling from Aus>NZ and having a couple of days worth of washing by the time we had finished touring the town and had dined out for a nice dinner it was too late to wash our clothes.
Loved the location of the property, very close to the city centre. The apartment felt big for a studio! Nice little balcony, enough bench space, great sized bathroom and kitchen area and the bed was comfortable. The TV was great, having Netflix as an option. Close to a great bakery which we got a coffee and breakfast at in the morning of departure.

Hong KongOnly minor point of criticism is the notice on fines for leaving any strong cooking smells in the room - I totally appreciate the point but perhaps the lack of any extractor fan over the stovetop is also part of the issue here.
Modern, clean and very comfortable, we were glad we booked here. Easy walking to the town and the springs if you are going. In particular the lady running the property during our stay was incredibly personable and helpful.
