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.).

United KingdomOnly a minor gripe, but the used utensils & crockery had to be washed up in the bathroom wash basin! The car park had two 'mobility parking' bays available, but one was difficult to use due to it's location next to the fence & entry gate with a tight turn into it especially when a car was parked in the parking bay next to it. The other 'mobility space' was better located, as it was near the back entrance for guests use, and had no potential obstructions for users.
The facilities in the room were good and an initial 'problem' quickly sorted out! The room was a good size with a comfortable seating area & bed. Our room was located in the main building which seemed quite quiet when we stayed. Overall everywhere was clean and the staff helpful. The on-site restaurant was shut, as was the bar opposite as it was a public holiday, but the main town was only about 5 minutes drive away with a good choice of eating places. Car parking was in a gated car park behind the main building, and accessed with a code.

New ZealandProbably the small Kitchenette, for 4x Adults but luckily we didn't cook through out stay
I have stayed at a few Motels and this one definitely is up there The location was great and close to town where everything i needed was within 5-10mins drive (probably 15mins if I wasn't being lazy to walk) The Receptionist on arrival was very helpful, informative and once i had signed in, i had a code to drive through the gates to my room with parking outside, i loved this was a gated Lodge that provided Pesce of Mind for Visitors vehicles and Property throughout Stay I got this online booking at a great bargain price for 4x Adults, for a last minute booking. This Family Studio was very large, airy with great comfortable beds upstairs in the loft and downstairs. Was immaculately clean, welcoming (i am ocd about hygiene and cleanliness), loved the decor, colors and i was delightfully surprised The bathroom had a super large shower with great massaging pressure, i also love the little soaps, shampoo/ conditioners, sower gel tubes provided (i normally travel with my own though) but its real thoughtful. All towels, hand towels, face cloths provided of course throughout stay. The kitchenette was small but we didn't really use it -but it still. provided everything you need. I always like to drop everything and have a cuppa when i arrive at Motels, this one hard a great selection of teas, coffes, hot chocolates with milk in the fridge and great outdoor seating with partitioned area outside your sliding door to enjoy. They also have a Continental Breakfast service where you fill out a card of what you would like and it is delivered to your room at the time you choose the next morning and for a great additional price per person Our Passengers loved the Bar next door where you can have meals also and don't have to drive anywhere If i was in this area again, i would definitely looked this one up first

New Zealandbathroom was the one area that could have done with new cistern on loo and new mirror, then it would all look equally modern.
Totara has done a good job of keeping this motel updated, was great to see after so many tired NZ motels. AC was new and worked well, is really needed in summer as the rooms catch good sun.
