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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 ZealandThe first room was loud and hot. But we were moved thankfully. The parking is a decent walk away and very tight.
The staff at the front desk went above and beyond. Truly great service. The breakfast was nice, and the house bar cosy, again fantastic service and staff.

New ZealandI arrived late and the front door was locked with no one down on the reception desk. Wasn't clear how to manage a late arrival. Would be good if the phone number I called diverted to a mobile of the manager on duty... rather than having to wait from them to come back down from delivering room service.
The room was great. Really cool styling, comfy bed and nice and quite on the night I stayed. Good location. - easy access to the city. Great bar to grab a drink at the end of the day.

New ZealandThe step into the bathroom, I kept tripping on it.
Solo traveller for the first time and flew through the door running late to schedule. The staff who greeted me was wonderful, calmed me down and upgraded my room and gave me 2 free drink ( fizzy)vouchers . The young lady in the restaurant went out of her way to get me all sorted with food, as well as an ice bucket for my warm fizzy. Bed was comfortable and the room was clean. I felt safe

New ZealandVery small note but the layout of the bathroom was a bit tight. if you're using the bathtub there's no grip floor mat so stepping out on the bath mat was slippery and bit of a hazard.
Room was comfy and clean. Breakfast was great although we had dietary requirements that only allowed for 1 option ("Yes, vegan") it was delicious and well worth popping down to the house kitchen. Bed was comfy and it was surprisingly quiet over a weekend despite being on a busy street with a concert playing near by.

New ZealandCar parking is not available. Booking.com didn't warned me about it while booking. It's your oversighr! If Alvaro didn't find a working solution for me I would have canceled the booking and went to a different hotel with a parking option.
Decor of the room and bathroom is exceptional. Furniture is carefully chosen - refined, tasteful. High quality of toiletries and bar food selection. Attention to a detail. Well groomed reception staff. Special thanks to Alvaro. He dealt with a car parking issue with utmost professionalism. Chef at the restaurant prepared delicious 5 star breakfast. Bed is very comfortable. Bedding is superb. Quiet room, no noises from the busy City Business District. A similar experience like in the best boutique hotels in the heart of Milan, Florence and Paris. I finally found a European experience in New Zealand. I will book this hotel again if I have a need to escape from boredom of absolute tastelessness of modern living.

New ZealandThe carpet was a little dated and threadbare in patches. An issue with the parking caused a delay.
The staff were extremely helpful. Due to my parking issue I was given two hotel vouchers for use at the bar. House keeping were required for a minor issue and were very prompt. The bar manager was very helpful and courteous. I love the boutique style and location.
