Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

The settee was very comfortable once you got into it but not so easy to get out of!(not as young as we were!!)
Joelene was delightful. Got a lovely welcome. The kitchen was well equipped. The bed very comfortable and heat pump did an excellent job warming the whole apartment. Easy walking distance to restaurants, bars, general shopping and down to the walkway.

It was really cold that day and it would have been nice if the heaters had been turned on for us before we arrived. Having said that it was a great property and this was such a small thing that it didn't matter too much.
We were met at the property even though we were running late. Door had a keycode so no keys but the personal service was great anyway.

Nothing. The entry door is up some external stairs and you can hear some hear road noise - neither of those things were a problem for me, but some people may like to know that.
Newly refurbished, very comfortable and cosy (has a heat pump), Easy walking distance to restaurants and museum. Nice new bathroom and comfortable beds. A digital lock also made things very easy. Joelene was very helpful and accommodating, a pleasure to deal with.

The doorcode should have been sent 24 hours before arrival, because we had no internet access to receive the doorcode on the afternoon of our arrival. Fortunately, this minor problem was resolved very quickly by the helpful host.
A good place to stay. Located near the central area of New Plymouth on a main road, within walking distance (7-15mins) of the city centre. Free, private, parking off the main road - you can certainly leave your car at the apartment and easily walk to the museums, beach, promenade, art gallery, shops & restaurants. Friendly, helpful host. Clean. Comfy beds. Warm rooms. Well maintained. Well equipped. Good cooking facilities. Fast, dependable WiFi (240Mbps download/168Mbps upload). We would stay here again.

Some unusual cleaning requests, we had to mop, vacuum and run the dishwasher in order to avoid an $80 cleaning fee. Wouldn't expect this from Booking.com. Also no instructions were sent about how to access the property so we had to ring the host, but it wasn't a huge issue as she answered straight away.
Very nice, comfortable apartment close to the city centre.

We ran out of pepper with there being none to refill the grinder with. One side of the toaster wouldn't go. I also do not think it is reasonable to have to clean our unit on top of paying quite a high price in the first place.
I liked the cleanliness and comfort of the apartment which had everything we needed. I liked the quality of the appliances and fittings

Only a couple of minor things...a heads-up about the cleaning would be helpful. You can pay $80 to have it cleaned or DIY which we did (it took very little time between the 4 of us). Both bedrooms have convenient switches by the bed to turn on/off the main light, but they’re quite bright. A bedside lamp would have been great for reading whilst my husband slept. Also, the bedroom door hinges could use some oiling as they creak. Minor things and we would stay there again.
We loved the comfy beds and had a great stay! While it’s near a few industrial businesses, the location was excellent - just 400m from the Govett-Brewster Art Gallery and shops. Great cafes were close by, with Unbaked Bakery a few doors down and Vintage Coffee House (our fave) and Monica's just a short walk away. The washing machine came in very handy too!

Ice maker was frozen up and it took us a long time to defrost it enough in order to be able to get ice. Would have liked at least two more facecloths and hand towels.
Location was great and apartment was very comfortable for two couples. Extremely clean and welcoming with nice outdoor area. Found out that there were family connections, small world!

Nothing really. The unit is upstairs but the stairs are very sturdy with safety strips.
It was a newly renovated 2 bedroom apartment with a shared bathroom in a block of two. Well equipped kitchen with good quality coffee plunger with large fridge freezer. Excellent leather couch & generous shower. Easy to park at front. Very close to everything. Nice elevated outlook from bedrooms.
