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 ZealandI made a last minute booking and didn't receive the self check in codes until after I had stayed. I rang the number and he was very friendly and helpful, but it did throw me a bit discovering no staff to check in with.
The room was clean and comfortable.

New ZealandThere's no tv in your room. But with the good wifi I was able to stream Freeview on my lap top just fine.
Im a tradesman and I travel a lot for work. For the price it was a perfect stay. It even included towels for free. (other accommodation for this price in Blenheim doesn't) Really good free Wifi. The are was nice and quite so I got a really good sleep. I really enjoyed the self check in so you don't have to talk to anyone. Will definitely be staying again.

United KingdomStayed in two different rooms, second room number 14 had a couple of issues. Very loud by the roadside and the constant floodlight kept coming through the window at the front of the building.
Facilities were great and so was the accommodation manager Craig. Really enjoyed my time there. Everything was very cleaned and well maintained overall pleasant stay 👍

Germany// Nothing to complain!
Both the room itself and the shared facilities were clean, the bed was comfy, the location was good (walking distance from the bus/railway station and the city center) and communication with the hosts was great. self-Check in/out was very easy and convenient. I especially appreciated them letting me check in early!

New ZealandWhile the shared areas were clean enough, I was reluctant to walk on the carpet of my private room without shoes. The carpets are due for renewal & decor/paint ready for spruce up. If you’re a couple, value for money is good, but if travelling solo, you may want to consider your options.
There is onsite parking & laundry.

New ZealandThis was really just a 'hostel' for local part time workers, (not much different than typical NZ camping ground conditions). For them, assuming they got a MUCH better financial deal, it was probably pretty good, clean, tidy and the very basics provided. But for me I expected a 'lower key' motel type situation, there was for example no 'Reception' and I couldn't raise the manager on the phone contact number, just an answer phone. Room smelt of the overpowering 'cheap' fragrance and very very basic in facilities, not even a coat hanger for example.

New ZealandInformation on the website is mostly wrong, we booked a double room which doesn't exist. We ended up paying more for two bunk beds so we could stay in the room by ourselves.
Very good value, rooms are private and property is well monitored with CCTV. Kitchen has everything you need and the residents are respectful and quiet at night. Overall a good experience just not exactly what we booked.
