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...).

New ZealandOf course, no windows or views anywhere. But am only here in the nights and frankly grown used to it given everything else it offers.
This has become my usual place for a night's stay in Auckland. Amazing value for money, it's basic but clean, safe and comfortable. Wifi quality is excellent and shared kitchen is never too busy. Highly under rated.

New ZealandThere were no coffee/ tea available. I was also under the impression that I had an ensuite toilet and just had to share the showers as this was written on the description. The room did not contain a table to sit at for study. I also wasn’t keen on not seeing any of proprietors of hostel at all and had to rely on photos provided to obtain the key. That saying, I managed to get the key after studying all those photos.
Very clean and tidy both the room and the bathrooms and hallways. Very central to Auckland cbd and university.

United KingdomNot a ton of atmosphere or sociability. The building is more about function than beauty. The walls were thin so you could hear other people talking and closing doors.
This place is great for a night or two. The room had a bed, night stand with warm light lamp, towels for the shower, and was clean and comfortable. Really functional but it has everything you need for a stay, and to get a private room at this price in Auckland is amazing. The location is decent: near a big Woolworths and a short walk to Britomart.

SpainPhotos are great, but they don't mention you won't have a window which is claustrophobic and feels like a prison. I assume there is people that likes this, but not in my case. Bed and pillows are also uncomfortable so I only stayed there for the price.
Price and location, cannot be better!
