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.).

PolandI had a wonderful stay at Warm on Waterloo. The room is part of a lovely home hosted by Hone and Maha — an incredibly kind and welcoming couple. I had some really interesting conversations with them, and they were always happy to help with anything I needed. Everything was clean and comfortable — the bed was especially cozy, and the room was spacious. I also enjoyed the breakfast, which was a nice bonus. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a warm and genuine experience.

New ZealandThe place where it was located was ideal for someone who wants privacy and quiet area. There's not much traffic going through the streets at night. Nothing to find fault with. Location may be a bit far from town yet it won't take long to get back into town maybe a good 5-8mins drive in town. When you arrive the host was very warm welcoming and loving towards you as if you're part of the family. With the host you can have a decent conversation and is approachable if you've got any problems, he's willing to try to either fix/solve them for you while you're staying there. It does have a family feel to the house. Service and hospitality was great for others that comes in and shares with us about helping ourselves to breakfast items that was there ready for your choosing to what you want. Reasonable size bedroom with the bed comfy and all. Bathroom clean and had some essentials ready for you to use. Clean towels were ready and waiting for you to use in the bedroom and spares were available if you needed them for your stay. Would recommend the place if you want a place to getaway that is quiet.

New ZealandJust be aware that you may be sharing the bathrooms with members from another room. This was not an issue, but just be aware of that if you are looking for total privacy.
The place was in an excellent location for us as we needed somewhere close to Massey University. The beds were comfy, and there was an excellent breakfast served in the morning. The host was so friendly and made us feel at home.
