Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

United KingdomThe toilet was either always occupied and not clean however, the worst bit of this stay was the lack of sound insulation. The only thing stopping our room from sharing with another was a piece of plywood.
The room we had was very big and the bed was comfortable.

New ZealandDirty, cold with no sufficient heating. Was informed about $15 additional for heating on the day of check-in. Wasn't mentioned at the time of booking that there is no heating. This $15 heater wasn't even available so a small heater was given which was not enough. Room was cold with gaps in windows.
It was cheap.

QatarAbsolutely terrible experience – avoid this place! Stayed at this cheap guest house in New Lynn and regret every moment. Found a dead cockroach in my room – no cleanliness or hygiene maintained. The toilet was filthy, and the shower setup is horrible – you have to stand inside an old bathtub, which is disgusting. No proper bathroom facilities – no mirrors in the bathroom or bedroom. No heaters provided – the house was freezing cold. Zero customer service – they don’t respond to requests or show any concern for guest comfort. No basic amenities – you have to bring your own cleaning supplies, mirror, TV, and even toilet paper. Parking is a nightmare, especially when it rains – the whole area turns into mud, cars get stuck, and tyres get completely dirty. The place looks completely run-down and urgently needs refurbishment. I understand it's a budget property, but that’s no excuse for neglect and poor conditions. Just because they have a no-refund policy doesn’t mean they should make guests suffer. This guest house should not even be listed on booking platforms like Booking.com or Agoda – these sites need to do a proper quality check before allowing such properties. Biggest disappointment – I would never recommend this place to anyone. Stay away!
It's cheap okay but it's horrible

FinlandThe whole house, including the room, common areas, bathroom etc. was dirty and has not been properly cleaned for some time. Walls in the room were stained and it smelled mouldy. The room was also really cold (luckily we had our own sleeping bags) and the curtains did not cover all the windows.
There was hot water in the shower and the gas stove worked fine.

FranceI stayed an entire week in this guesthouse. The staff (especially the cleaning lady) was really unfriendly. There is a real lack of cleaning in this house, it smells humidity, there are holes in the walls, the window in my room wouldn't close, and finally, I also saw 2 mice, one in the kitchen and the other in the living room.

ArgentinaThe house is very old. The key wasn't in the lockbox and we couldn't get into the house. We had booked a room with two beds, but at the last minute they switched us to a double bed. The mattress was worn out and sagged in the middle. The people at the lodging were very disrespectful, making noise at 10:30 p.m. The owner offered a refund for the room change, but at that point we couldn't go anywhere else. Yes, the place is cheap, but it's not worth saving money for that. I do not recommend it at all!
Didnt like it at all!
