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.).

MalaysiaMaybe can change some of the pot to the type that can get heated faster, and hot water taps for the sinks.
Hair dyer available in the room. There is heater in the bathroom too. Convenient shop (with ATM), gas station and eateries is just around the corner. Great vast kitchen with water cooler for water refill. Beautiful view from the room and lounge. Can change coins at reception for laundry machine and dryer, and can buy laundry powder too! Most importantly is clean towels and bed for comfortable n nice sleep.

FinlandJust very small things. The room was quite small and there was not much room on the floor. Not enough hooks there. You had to rent a towel because it was not provided. There was free instant coffee but not tea in the kitchen.
It is a beautiful building and surroundings! I liked the separate only female dorms and bathrooms. It was quiet to sleep and the curtains in front of the beds gave good privacy. The location is really nice next to the lake and really close to the famous church. The design is great because you can see the lake and mountain views from the dining area and lobby. The kitchen is really big. Everything is new and clean.

United KingdomNothing!
Everything! The location has to be the best part! What a fantastic view! You can see the lake and the church of the good shepherd, with views from the kitchen/dining room/living area/balconies/some rooms. The kitchen is modern and very well-equipped with lots of storage space for food, big fridges and a freezer, plenty of microwaves, etc. The rooms were modern and clean. The beds had charging ports, reading lights, a privacy curtain, and lockers under the bed and free standing as units. The staff were very friendly, and kept all of the spaces very clean. There is also a pool table, a TV room, and outside seating. Amazing location right next to the Dark Sky Project and supermarket, very short walks to all the nearest cafes/restaurants.

CanadaWould definitely recommend but was a little pricey when we stayed.
Loved how you could just set outside and watch the star as well as learn about the history from bob. Everything was walking distance for what you needed plus the facilities were great. We loved the brand so much my freinds and I booked another Haka house in Rotoroua.

The location is great just nearby the bus stop! I’m highly recommend for those who are solo travelers and use buses to Lake Tekapo. The facilities such as kitchens and common areas are also great and a room is minimum necessary for solo travelers. Highly recommend 👍
