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.).

Great central location, easy parking. Neat decor with all the art. It had everything I needed for my quick trip. Also joes garage below the hotel has takeaways/order online so as a solo traveller I didn’t have to walk the streets at night. The manager was relaxed and happy to answer any questions, really positive happy staff.

The whimsical decorating in the hotel matches the general atmosphere of New Plymouth. The location is conveniently located in the city center with plenty of dining options nearby. This also serves as a nice base for exploring the Egmont National Park and other nearby beaches. Luke was incredibly knowledgeable and was happy to assist with my questions, The hotel has free private parking nearby. Keep in mind that all rooms are located on the second floor and the hotel does not have elevators. This was well-advertised on the booking, but it deserves emphasizing.

Czech RepublicThe room is very small so with luggage, there is really very little space to move. Note that there is no elevator so you need to lug the bags up two short flights of stairs. I would certainly stay again.
Jake was very friendly and helpful. I really liked the lounge area, amazing for an evening sit down and relaxation. The room was spotlessly clean.

New ZealandWe had a room with a double bed and they did advise that they recommend these rooms for single occupants, so it was quite small, but we were prefectly happy.
Great boutique hotel, well designed and lovely old style features. Good that it has the additional shared living area. Convenient location, easy to come and go and parking was available. The staff were excellent, very friendly and helpful.

AustraliaParking was available but @ 50m up the street past the hotel + drop off option was a little challenging for luggage. Security was present over the car park, but is street side. Small walk down the street with our luggage - not a problem for us, but for some could have been a wee challenge for someone mobility impaired or with a lot of luggage they didn't want to leave in the car. Would not put me off staying again, as will know what to expect.
Wasnt sure what to expect but it was really lovely. Beds were super comfortable; clean; bathroom perhaps a little tight but was fresh, and perfectly adequate. Location was great for waterfront walks a couple of streets away. Didn't dine in the restaurant downstairs but found an amazing Indian Restaurant down the street (Arranged Marriage). Small sitting area available for reading and relaxing was a nice idea. Would definitely stay again. NB - Stairs and Drop off / parking spot could be a challenge for mobility impaired. Appreciated parking being available.

Though the room is not big,but it’s clean and have everything you want. Hotel decoration is very careful, a door will have a faint fragrance.
