How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewGood location and spacious studio room. WIFI and Netflix good, TV good size. Kitchenette well equipped and self catering easy. Man in reception very helpful in arranging a second night and also helpful when the washing machine in the laundry room didnt work. Clean comfortable and spacious with undercover parking.
We booked a king studio but got a queen bed. Disappointing but the stay was fine anyway.

Verified reviewGreat location, close to major shopping centres, restaurants, sports facilities and amenities. Room had a large fridge/freezer and microwave which was of great use during our stay. Room was very neat and spacious, with a ceiling fan and a table with chairs. Restaurant on site was amazing, the food was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend the Stone Grill.
Room not completely dark at night and close to main road. If you don't like stairs, request a room on ground level as no elevator/ramp available.

Verified reviewLoved that there was plenty of room and a bed for everyone to sleep on.
Sheets were stained. Bathroom had baby cockroaches running around. The worst part about the whole stay would be the fact we were rudely awoken at 830am by someone entering our room. My husband got up to investigate and it was the cleaner, whom I’m assuming should know who has and hasn’t checked out by the time they start working.

Verified reviewWe were housed in a completely different property to what was advertised online and the photos shown. It was a building across the road at least 20-30 years older. Very deceptive marketing. Even had to do the dishes in the only sink in the bathroom.
Hi Gail. I am sorry you are very confused. You booked and paid for, and were accommodated in a motel queen balcony room which is the room type you were in. There is no deceptive marketing from our end just images related exactly to each room type available across our vast complex. The images on the room type you selected are correct. The instructions are even to check in at the motel complex and if you have booked an apartment you will be directed there just across the road after checking in. If you wanted a room with a kitchen, we have many available you could have selected one. Just for future reference. If the images are confusing to you please reach out to the venue for clarification as most venues are more than obliging to clarify if you are confused. Safe and happy travels, Gateway Management.
