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 reviewBed was very comfortable.
Cars were parked right outside the windows so we had to keep the curtains closed. Wear and tear is getting quite noticeable.

The hotel front desk service was extremely poor. And always no one in the front desk. Extremely high deposit fee($100 per day)but the room and service just a joke. When I inquired about the car park, i was informed that there were no parking spaces available in this hotel. I asked why this was not mentioned on Booking (on Bookings it says on-site parking available), and the confirmation email also the did not clearly state that parking was unavailable, to which she snapped, "Then why didn’t you ask?" The attitude was rude and extremely aggressive. Additionally, no information regarding parking was provided during check-in. If we know there is no parking available or extra fee($16 per day) is needed for parking, we can organize parking ourselves. Moreover, when I asked if they could assist with transporting my luggage, the staff responded very impatiently, saying, “You can use the luggage trolley by yourself, but you need to return it”. The entire check-in process was extremely unpleasant. After I moved the car on return, when I walked past the front desk, she called me again and blame on me didn’t check on their website. After a long and tiring day of travel to Queenstown, I was already exhausted, and this kind of service attitude made me not even want to stay here from the very first day. I will definitely not book this hotel again on my next visit.

I have stayed here before my room however was jammed behind a row of units no aspect at all. The hot water was low the evening I arrived I assumed it would right itself it didn’t the following morning it was stone cold!! I also parked under the property I had forgotten to pay on line so tried to locate the parking people who directed me to a site to pay it was confusing as to which parking lot it was so I called back they didn’t know which one it was! I asked them to call back once they had found out that never happened. Finally it was resolved after 40 minutes on the phone. The breakfast was not in the hotel due to a conference I was running late ran up to breakfast at the Hilton. The girl showed me to an awful inside table I Requested one on The porch she said I’d have to pay extra! I was not in a mood to agree so I said I would be dining there and not paying an additional fee as I was already inconvenienced and I was pretty upset.

Verified reviewThe view was great overlooking the lake. The bed was a good size and very comfortable.
Unfortunately, there was only one chair in the room to sit and enjoy the view. The light switches were in pretty random places which made it a bit tricky to figure out. The bathroom door kept sliding open and with no latch which made private time a bit less private, being that this was right off the lounge area, a magnetic catch would have helped keeping it closed. The elevator system to the 4th floor didn't make coming and going with luggage a simple task.
