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 ZealandWe brought our own little Nespresso machine as nasty instant coffee sachets just don't cut it! At this price point Id expect to see the kitchen equipped with one. The stereo didn't work in Rm 22 and the young chap at reception didn't seem at all interested when I told him. The tennis court needs a regular sweep/leaf blow, to remove quite a bit of debris from the trees and hedge. It's a good non slip surface but needs some care.
Huge, one bedroom apartment with full, well equipped kitchen and sunny balcony. Easy walk to town and restaurants, we had the upstairs room next to the tennis court - perfect for us as we play everyday so we gave it plenty of use, love a hotel with tennis court! Quiet at night, comfortable bed. Great stay in Taupo, would definitely stay again 😁

New ZealandThe only downside was the queen bed. Unfortunately the mattress was VERY firm. I slept poorly as my shoulders & hips ached due to the unforgiving mattress. It really needs a foam topper pad to provide a bit of softness & comfort.
An impeccably clean & well-appointed unit - it contained both a full kitchen & a laundry (washer & dryer) as well as a separate bedroom, a seating area with comfortable couches & 50in TV, and a dedicated dining area, so inside it was very spacious. We didn't have a view of the lake, but there was dedicated outdoor seating space & car parking right outside the unit. It was an easy 5 - 10 minutes walk to restaurants & bars & literally across the road from the lake.

Great location, only 10 min walk in the centre and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool,spa and tennis court kept the kids occupied for hours.
