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.).

New ZealandBathroom was lovely but a tight fit, could do with an extra towel hook/shelve. Only received 1 towel each for 2 day stay and a women always need more towels.
Was up-graded to King size which worked well for a 2 night stay. Nice welcome note on arrival. Very clean and nice colour palate. Enjoyed the guest lounge too. Great location for walking everywhere. Loved the art and point of difference. Free car parking a bonus.

New ZealandI don't like "checking in" online much, and calling a manager on duty to get into the lobby. However, the call was attended immediately and we were swiftly let in and also greeted by a staff shortly after. I am not a fan of the glass door (even though sanded) between the bathroom and bedroom, as it lacks privacy.
Room and bathroom were a little small but very well appointed. The bed was super comfy and large. The hotel looks newly refurbished and the decor is quite original and interesting.

New ZealandThere is no elevator/lift which could be a problem for people who can't handle the stairs. The owner carried my suitcase for me even though I could carry it myself. Great service
The rooms were nicely furbished, everything looked new and clean. Surprisingly quiet. Fantastic location, could walk out the door and choose from a large number of restaurants and fast food joints. Supermarkets just down the street. Would highly recommend. Owner was fantastic.

New ZealandImmediately on arrival we were greeted with a smile and greetings, told where our room is and that if we needed anything at all to let them know, the room was extremely clean and tidy and felt really comfortable. Perfect location as well! Right on top of a wonderful bar and restaurant and within walking distance to almost everything you could think of!

New ZealandThe rooms are beautifully appointed with everything you might need. Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the bed was really comfortable. Fabulous central location close to everything New Plymouth has to offer. The room was quite snug, but it was just me, and I only needed a place to sleep, so it suited me. Plus, the hotel messaged me a few days before to advise that the room was smaller, and if I wanted to move to a larger one, I could. I would definitely stay here again.
