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.).

Unfortunately, the bed we had in our room was extremely uncomfortable. To be specific, the mattress was beyond still as if there was no difference between the bed and the floor.

Verified reviewStunning location. The private en-suite queen room is the corner room on the top floor overlooking the beautiful scenery - Queenstown, Lake Wakatipu and the surrounding mountain ranges. Everything was a short stroll away. We did the paint and sip activity and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Nothing major springs to mind. There is no parking if you hire a car but this is understandable given the location.

It was very loud so it was hard to sleep.
Hi Niki, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, we really appreciate it! We are very sorry you experienced disruption during your stay. Whilst we do have double-glazing on all windows and free earplugs available for use, our premier downtown location can mean some on-street noise might be experienced. We hope you did enjoy your time in Queenstown.

Verified reviewThis is the most central location in Queenstown so all activities and shops are 5 minutes away. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The attached laundry is handy.
It gets booked up so we didn’t get the cheapest room so book in advance and consider booking direct. That said Booking.com often have the best price so do compare.
Hi Paul, thanks so much for your stay and your review! Glad to hear you enjoyed your time with us and yes you are right, We hope to host you again in the future, safe travels!

Verified reviewThe location was 10/10! And I really think it’s was great value for money
There was no windows to open and ventilation was a bit poor, the parking nearby was so difficult we drove for hours one day trying to park. Some staff were super super friendly and others were a bit short. I also think they would do better quality towels but overall value for money was there and I’d likely stay again.
Thanks for your review Jasmine! We are glad you enjoyed the location and found it good value for money. We are surprised to hear your comment about some of our team members coming across as a bit short, as we usually receive very high praise for our staff. That said, we will absolutely take your feedback on board to ensure consistency across the team. Thanks again, and we are glad to hear you would likely stay again, we would love to welcome you back!
