How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewIt was close to the walking tracks at manawatu gorge
There was no staff to let me in as the pub downstairs was closed, just keys hidden. The hallways needed to be vacuumed. It would be great to have a chair in the room to sit in as the only place to sit in my room was on the bed. The extractor fan in the bathroom didn't work. The last persons facecloth want removed from the shower

Verified reviewThe location was good
No amenities. No fridge, no jug for a coffee. Bathroom was crazy - you had to step over the toilet to get into the shower. Room had a bed and no chair. As there were no facilities (ie microwave) I went to go downstairs to the pub at 7pm on a Saturday and it was closed. Overall, very disappointing

Verified reviewThe Owners/Staff were very obliging in accomodating our large group of 6 adults and 2 children. They were helpful and friendly. They also let us bring in our own bedding for the 2 children. A matteress on the floor, which worked perfectly. The location was close to a family function that we were attending which was why we didn't get to eat at the Inn but we heard that it was very popular. The kitchen, which was down the hallway, was adequate and contained everything we needed, (toaster, jug, small fridge) to make breakfast.
Bathrooms in both bedrooms (family room and double room) were very small.

Verified reviewThe location was perfect. The beds were comfy and warm. The hosts were accomodating and helpful. I booked 2 rooms (1 family and 1 double). There were 6 adults and 2 children and they let us bring in a blow up bed and bedding to accomodate us. So we slept 4 in each. We did not eat in the restaurant as we were attending a big family weekend.
The shower in the family room leaked badly, so the bath mat was soaking. Bathrooms in both rooms were quite cramped. The cooking smells drifted upstairs and the window wouldn't stay open. TV remote wouldn't work in the double room and the family room didn't have one.
