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 ZealandTV was the exception. It did not have the capacity to allow me to access my apps e.g. netflix. That was a bit disappointing.
Service was great, always helpful and followed through. People who work at this place was wonderful. The restaurant was great as the food was at a higher level plus the afternoon tea you offered too was very generous.

AustraliaNo place to hang 'don't service my room' card so left it standing on dining table then next day, on closed bedroom door. Staff still came in which wasn't necessary. Person upstairs noisy due to wooden floor.
Refurbished room, very comfortable and well equipped. Very helpful and polite front desk admin staff.

AustraliaWas extremely annoyed that the shower water went cold. I was having my shower late evening after the other 2 and the water was cold. Wouldnt go hot after many many tries/time. It was too late at night for me to be bothered calling for help. Had one in the morning and the water was back to hot.
Lovely furnishings. Didn't realize their was a bit of a Victorian theme or something and our boy was creeped out by the stocks and the old style door handles. Otherwise very comfortable and nice room

ArgentinaThe first night (Friday) parking there was without any issue, the following night was a mission. Lots of cars no room for parking where you are allowed to park. There is no clear signs where or where not to park apart of the printed guide the gave you upon check in. So good luck in this one.
The breakfast is super tasty and from 1600 to 1700 you have a complementary tea or coffe with delicious muffins. The bed was super comfy too and the room very spacious. The shower with amazing pressure and nice toiletries.

AustraliaWe enjoyed our stay.
We arrived very late past midnight, tired and stressed from not having the the booked taxi waiting for us - so we were tremendously appreciative of the friendly welcome received by the friendly Manager there when we got to the hotel - and and got an upgrade to a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment for the first night... it was so lovely to de-stress. We enjoyed the hot chocolates each day too. Such a great bonus to have chocolates as well as the normal provision of tea and coffee. thanks a million! Thanks also for the early check in to our other rooms the next morning. we allocated 2 beautiful rooms next to each other, the following 4 nights and these had large bathtubs which we were able to enjoy a relaxing bath each night.

AustraliaThis hotel was by far the best we stayed in during our trip to New Zealand. The hotel rooms are just beautiful. Fresh, clean and spacious for our family of 4. We were so warm and comfortable, and the location was still great for being able to explore Christchurch. The restaurant was wonderful too, great service and delicious food. The staff were so helpful. When we left some shoes at the hotel and had moved on to another city, they went out of their way to make sure they were posted to us in a timely way, and found a cheaper way to do this. Excellent value for money and we would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in Christchurch!
