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 ZealandWe were shown to our room through a private function in the bar - right through speeches for a 21st! Hilarious, if slightly awkward.
I loved our stay. Clean, comfortable budget accommodation for us to rest our heads in on our journey. New carpet and possibly new bed?

New ZealandI felt that it was a bit pricey for what you got. A room to yourself but shared bathroom facilities. I have the same facilities in my next accommodation for half the price.
The staff were welcoming and very helpful and the bar snack just hit the spot so did the cold beer. Had a lovely couple of hours in the bar and was made to feel quite welcome. Thankyou.

New ZealandRoom was stuffy and warm (avoided easily by keeping the fan on low). The room is on the smaller side, but suited us well for one night. You could hear snoring easily through the walls. The hallway had a smell of old carpet (I could not smell this once we entered the room, so didn't mind).
The room was tidy, had a plug-in fan and heater to suit your needs. Sink/counter area was useful. Bed was pretty comfortable! New carpet in the room and fresh paint. Window curtains were blackout, and helped greatly with a headache that came about. The windows have nets so we felt privacy even with the carpark outside. The carpark gate is locked overnight, you are given a key to access/unlock if needed. We were also able to view our car from our window which we liked.

Having the cereal choices for breakfast was an added bonus. The staff were very helpful, friendly and keen to provide the best service for our family group. The room was very clean and fresh and it was quiet.

New ZealandNothing that we didn't like in particular, we were there for a short stay. The place served it's purpose for us.
We only stayed one night, as came to Palmy for a family do and were expecting to get to the inn to sleep after midnight. We checked in at around 4pm to get the keys. The staff were friendly and helpful. The premises, even though dated, were clean and tidy. The room was also very tidy. It looked like the carpet was replaced not long ago, and the room did not have that dated smell as you would expect of an old place. The sink in the room was quite handy. The communal kitchen was also very clean. It felt like a place very well looked after.

New ZealandIt's not that I would say we didn't like anything. But I would say the size and the way the room was arranged wasn't what we were expecting but for $90 a night you really can't complain about the room being a small side
Cost: The price for the night was definitely affordable the location: I was quite happy with where it is located if you don't like being central this place is good as it's not in town but also isn't to far out of towns Staff: the stuff where very kind and helpful with check in/out and they were happy to answer or help with any questions we may have had druing our stay.
