Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

AustraliaI wish the downstairs lounge/terrace didn’t get locked up when the bar was closed. I’d planned on reading down there one afternoon only to find it had been locked up, unfortunately.
Beautifully appointed, cosy room, beautiful bathroom. The building felt grand but still warm.

The Convent hotel was a beautiful experience. The welcome from Jay on arrival, easy transition to my room which was amazing. The, comfy bed, best nights sleep! Great bathroom, views and natural light. The simplicity, with luxuary, and the history of this beautiful building made the stay memorable. Thank you for having me, I really enjoyed my stay. Highly recommend.

New ZealandIt is a converted convent, so our room was rather tight! I think we had one of the smallest rooms, but the others we saw were more spacious.
This is a converted convent where the history of the building is evident even though the level of comfort far exceeds what was originally there. It was fun to speculate about the rooms and the former occupants. The artwork is eclectic with religious items mixed along with south Asian influences, a fun mixture and certainly added to the ambience.

New ZealandSuch a unique place to stay. It really was a convent many years ago. They have kept the charm of this lovely old building. With a modern twist on the amenties. Bonus addition is the onsite restaurant Ada. Had an expectional meal there, would love come back next time we stay in the area.

New ZealandWe stayed on a Saturday night. The restaurant was busy and was a little on the noisey side until around 11pm.
The decor in the entire hotel is beautiful! We both loved the nods to the convent. The room was small but well appointed. The reception staff were friendly, professional and informative.

New ZealandWe loved our stay at The Convent Hotel! The staff were fantastic - we were given an extra key, a vase for our flowers and a fascinating talk about the hotel's history. The rooms were very clean. The beds and pillows were super comfy. Our accommodation was beautiful and unique. This hotel has a lovely peaceful vibe - it even smells beautiful (all the woodwork). Our stay was such an enjoyable mid-winter treat. We will be back!

New ZealandThe rooms have very high ceilings and there was only a small wall heater in the room, which did not heat the room sufficiently. It was a particularly cold winter night and the room felt chilly. Also, we have stayed at the Convent at least 8 times over the years. It would be nice for the reception staff to be aware of this and welcome you back rather than ask if this is your first visit each time. Also, extra treats for repeat guests would be a lovely touch.
Lovely restored convent with interesting art and stylish rooms. Great location. On site parking is also a bonus.
