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.).

Verified reviewCity Views had everything you could ask for. From great and plentiful coffee capsules (to keep five guys caffined up) to a very big fat Kereru sitting on the balcony keeping an eye on us. Fiona was there to meet us with the keys and help us get wifi sorted. The property is really well kitted out with all the comforts of home. If you need somewhere for a long term stay then this is your best option. Great location, town is a ten minute walk down the hill (maybe fifteen for the return uphill leg). we also struggled to get through all the complimentary lollies and breakfast sachets.

Verified reviewThis is a very beautiful house, very modern, warm and nicely decorated. It was very warm and comfortable with the fireplace all ready to light. Fiona met us on arrival which was easy to arrange and she was super friendly and welcoming. The kitchen is very well equipped and has coffee, milk, tea etc. It was great to be able to park in the carport right at the house. The location is very conveniently within walking distance to the center of town and of course the views were lovely!

Verified reviewIt was an amazing house, it had soo many amenities and it was very modern in the inside,very spacious and clean. Amazing owners which were very helpful and fast and also very caring, we were received with wine and wafers, absolutely amazing. The location is to a side of the heart of Dunedin so it just takes a short walk and you are already in the centre of the city. We cannot recommend it enough, will be looking forward to returning someday.

Climbing up the hill from town, we’re a little older.

Verified reviewPhil the owner came to give us the keys and show us around. The independent house with its own car park , is bang in the centre of the city , just a short walk to all restaurants. The duplex house at the street level where the car port is , opens up to 3 bedrooms, one of them with a king size bed. One bathroom and WC separate. One floor lower was the lounge area with the fireplace and TV, Kitchen and dining room and a kids room. One self contained bathroom below. The house was gorgeous and very tastefully decorated with lots of art pieces and paintings and succulent plants in pots everywhere. But the piece de résistance was the observatory outside the master bedroom. Made fully of glass , both walls and roof the views were stunning - the sea , church and lots of greenery. Very neat and clean, kitchen with good quality gadgets, pots, pans and crockery cutlery. Phil had thoughtfully left some milk and breakfast cereals which was a nice welcoming touch

Verified reviewThe apartment was light, clean and spacious. The small conservatory was a lovely space for coffee and looking over the city. Brochures and a very helpful owner gave us ideas for how to spend time, where to shop and eat, etc. We were welcomed with milk in the fridge, freshly ground coffee, some supplies in the pantry and powder for the washing machine. A fabulous addition was the “just in case” box full of needles and thread, buttons and other things to make small but necessary repairs.
The street can be extremely noisy at night.
