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):
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 ZealandThe rooms were not clean (one bed even had hair in it). The rooms were very dated, scratches and paint missing along the walls, one shower stunk (think it was the drain) so it didn't get used at all.
Enjoyed the location and easy parking.

New ZealandPillow too soft and low, not keen on the stairs, and shower pressure was off due to a leaky hose.”
“Warm room, easy parking, and a spotless setup. Loved the tea, coffee, and milk—especially on a rainy day. TV and Wi-Fi worked without a hitch. Takeaway just a stroll away, and the event centre right across the road was a bonus!

New ZealandI was disappointed that the pillows were so thin you could not sleep on them. There were no extra blankets available and we were not provided with any soap or shower gel which is expected when you pay motel prices. The bed was a double
The location was good. Very happy with that. I just felt that there were a lot of short cuts I suppose to try and save money.

New ZealandThe window in the lounge would not close, and I only found this out late at night after doing a closedown check for the night. It was evident someone had tried to break in previously, however the window had not been fixed, this was a huge concern and didn’t make for much sleep. Complimentary coffee plunger sachets provided but no coffee plunger in the room? Minimal complimentary instant coffee sachets, compared to the excessive amounts of sugar provided. The dishcloth in the kitchen looked old, very used, and gross soo not good, it should have been replaced with a new one.
The spa bath was great! TV was easy to work with all channels available very good. It was nice to have an outdoor space. Heat pump was great. Great parking.

New ZealandMy bed had a big lump in the mattress in the very middle. Very soft pillows with very little stuffing. The carpet was crunchy under my bare feet? No iron or Ironing board. A door linked to the next room that I could not lock from myside and the bathroom door didn't stay closed.
Lots of shops within walking distance. A range of food available. Short trip to city for restaurant quality food. I did an early morning walk, it was still dark, and I felt safe. The room was warm and the shower pressure was great. They allowed me to change to a ground floor room, which was great. I didn't have to lug my bags up stairs.

New ZealandBeds and couch. You could feel every spring in the beds. My colleague said it felt like she had roll together and it was only her in the single bed. I felt every spring and woke feeling punched. The couch was saggy and uncomfortable. The whole place looked like it could have done with a good scrub and clean. Mold in the grout in the shower. Mold around the water level in the toilet. Dirty skirting boards. Dirt marks on the doors. The list goes on.
The location was excellent. Very close to where we needed to be. Very close to the takeaways, made getting dinner and breakfast very easy. The WiFi was great. The Shower pressure was excellent

United KingdomThe Wi-Fi struggled later in the stay, presumably when more people checked in. It was very noisy on the Saturday night, from a lot of people and cars in the next door McDonalds Car Park.
The room was reasonably well equipped, although the kitchen did have a bare minimum of equipment. It was clean however and comfortable.

New ZealandWe have stayed here previously on a number of occasions. It was always fresh and clean and inviting. This time was shocking. The room hadn’t been vacuumed, there were holes dug into the top of the table, the settee arms were worn and filthy, the fridge door front is streaky dirty and rusty, there were streaky marks of something on the bathroom floor and a dead cockroach in the dirty toilet. The spa bath didn’t have any power running to it but it is advertised on their site. Absolutely no decor in the room at all, so not inviting at all. The staff member pretended to not understand us when we voiced concerns and showed him the room, but did understand us when we talked about getting a refund and leaving.
Convenient to where we needed to be

New ZealandUnpleasant odour, stained carpet in my one at least which was apt 5. Either the couch itself and/or the carpet had the bad odour so I slept with my windows as open as they could go. I'm lead to believe this could be likely to having emergency housing tenants at some point. If the smell wasn't there I'd rate this much higher
Nice setup for the apartment.
