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 ZealandBeing short I found the locked box for the key was too high up for me to see the numbers. I would have liked the ability to have some brighter lighting in the main area. It was difficult to get ready for a special function with such dim lighting.
Extremely comfortable bed. Most other things met our needs.

United KingdomThe house was quite cold, even with the aircon heater and radiators on. There is a fireplace but no firewood to light. That was a shame. So we were a bit cold at night. The kitchen while equipped with appliances, could do with a few extra dishes and cooking utensils to make self-catering a little easier.
The cabin is on a private property with 2 other cabins close by. The view of the mountains is stunning. It is a short 5 min drive to town, but you could walk. It was very quiet, but then we also were the only people at the accommodation. I would feel a little less comfortable if the other buildings were occupied as they were very close together. The kitchen had a microwave, stove, oven, dishwasher and full-sized fridge. The lounge/dining area was perfectly adequate and the house decorated nicely. We even had a carport for the car which we appreciated as it rained while we were there.

ChinaThe accommodation is located on a hill upon the Wanaka town, which has a beautiful view of the Autumn mountain and courtyard. The decoration of room is bright and cheerful. Although a 10-min drive is needed to the town, it offered the different view of the mountain which will be a unique way to explore Wanaka apart from the lake.

AustraliaPillows were too high and hard, so I just used one of the cushions instead. Not a problem really. It's a long walk from the centre of town so keep that in mind if you all want to have a few drinks.
Lovely decor in the room, they thought of everything. Washing and dryer was easy to find and use.

United KingdomThe WiFi would not work on our iPhones for reasons we could not identify. A shame that there is not more of a kitchenette area, as would be nice to make dinner in the evening. Felt a little strange not interacting with any staff on arrival or throughout our stay, but we were able to navigate and access what we needed.
Had a lovely stay at this lodge just on the outskirts of Wānaka, set in a very beautiful garden. Room was very comfortable and nicely decorated. The views from the room are stunning on a clear day. We loved the location, being just on the outskirts, as when you then head in to town, you get the amazing view of the lake and mountain backdrop. We also very much appreciated having some washing and drying facilities for our clothes.

AustraliaWalls too busy, recommend removing some of the large wall hangings as bright colours on wall clashed with wall hangings. Felt that it was harder to relax with the clashes of colour. The view outside was so much more relaxing
Bed was comfortable, great to have microwave and crockery. Gardens were lovely to walk around. Great to have access to laundry.
