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.).

A bit noisy near a road, but we only got 3-4 hours sleep because of flights.
They picked us up from the airport at 1.50 am, and back to the airport at 8am. Very accommodating. 24hrs. Clean, neat, everything you need for a quick stop.

The room needs a bit of an update. It doesn't look quite like the photo on their web site.
My husband, adult daughter and myself stayed in the standard family unit. It was an older room but was comfortable for a nights stay. 7 days free parking was great. The shuttle service to the airport was excellent. We would use this hotel again but upgrade our room.

There are no side lamps, so you have to turn the light off, and it is pitch black to find your way to bed.
Always clean and well presented.. I stay as i can leave my car for 7 days free of charge. The staff are always pleasant.

I had no negative reactions or feelings with the lodge or staff but the International Airport appears to be a warren of roads, entrances and non-entry points. It is definitely offputting at the airport.
Right from the time I was picked up by the Lodge shuttle the driver and the staff that I interacted with, were so helpful and accommodating. The next morning when I was taken to the airport, the driver took me as close to the entrance as was possible then gave me clear instructions on how and where to enter the airport. Those actions definitely took away any anxieties.

Some staff were better than others. Picked this place for the car parking while away but the car was scratched while parked and we weren't informed. Very big step in and out to the over bath shower in downstairs room.
Clean and convenient. Upstairs room was better than the ground floor room.

We had great service,had awesome shower pressure, tidy room comfortably beds.the shuttle service was awesome definitely use them again.

Located close to the airport with space for 2 adults & 3 children in one room was perfect. There was a single bed in the lounge area, a double bed in the bedroom as well as a single bed. Great value for money as we did not need to book another room to fit us all. The room was clean and tidy, with a tv, wifi, clean bathroom and helpful staff. A wonderful bonus is the free shuttle available 24 hours- when travelling with 5 people, this was a stand out for us. It was a little cool as it is winter so the heat pump was perfect to warm the room up. This is my 2nd stay and would happily stay again when visiting Auckland!

The rooms and everything were clean but just a couple of things to help bring it up a good notch or two. If you replaced Venetians in the kitchen, very tired and worn, though the most important thing, your carpet really needs a nice shampoo. I know you're busy and have a lot of footwear through but a clean carpet speaks volumes. I hope this helps, not meant just as a criticism.
People were very friendly, had everything thing we needed. Covered basic needs but good. Clean.
