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 reviewThe hospitality and constant guidance in regard to fun and exciting activities around Queenstown were absolutely second to none, really felt like I was back at home in my own house with my family. Wendy and David were by far the best hosts that my partner and I have ever encountered, as we do a lot of travelling we always meet a variety of people and naturally talk about our experience together and all we could say was how lovely the experience really was all round amazing place to stay.
Thank you so much for your very kind words! We really enjoyed meeting you both and wish you well in your next journey as Mr and Mrs. Hopefully we look forward to welcoming you both back again! Wendy, David and Coco

Verified reviewGreat property but some 15mins away from Queenstown CBD, you'll need transport (Bus/cab). Great outdoor view.
Very costly.
Hello, thank you for reviewing. However, driving distance to Queenstown central is only 5 minutes, perhaps longer if in peak hour traffic. The local bus is a great option if on a budget for $4 return with a bus card and located a 5 min walk from the lodge. Walking the sunshine bay track into town in good weather is a lovely option if you are not in a hurry; 45 min walk. We feel the property rate is well positioned for being boutique, the tranquility, views, spacial suites and includes breakfast.

Verified reviewViews and room was amazing. Location great. Food great, options good.
Sometimes we wanted to eat in silence instead of conversing with staff all the time.
Thank you for taking the time to review. I appreciate your constructive feedback and breakfast comment, please note we would always accommodate you to enjoy breakfast in your suite if that was your preference. Thank you

Verified reviewThe location is just outside of town enough that it is so quiet and relaxing, yet still close enough that it’s not a mission to get in and out. The $2 bus was so quick and easy, and the walk in the morning along the lake was so stunning. David’s breakfasts every morning were restaurant quality and delicious and he was happy to cater to our dietary needs. The room itself was huge and so warm and comfortable. Shower had great pressure and was so nice and hot after being out in the cold all day.
Thank you so much for your complimentary review, so pleased you enjoyed Hidden Lodge and Queenstown. Hopefully we will be welcoming you back again, David and Wendy.

Verified reviewOur stay was amazing! From the breathtaking views to the warm hospitality, everything exceeded our expectations. The room was beautifully designed, with thoughtful touches like complimentary drinks and snacks, cozy underfloor heating in the bathroom (no dampness at all!), and a super comfortable memory foam pillow that made our sleep heavenly. Wendy and David, truly made our stay special. Wendy was incredibly welcoming, providing detailed recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed. And David, his breakfasts were absolutely delicious - better than any cafe in town! His local tips also led us to hidden spots we’d never visited before, despite coming to Queenstown yearly. The starry skies were magical at night without any distraction. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay. Highly recommend - we’ll definitely be back!

Verified reviewWendy and David were wonderful hosts. Somehow my booking came through as a 'honeymoon' although it wasn't, however we have decided this is a good excuse to now have a yearly honeymoon, so many thanks to Wendy and David for being such gracious hosts when we told them. The hot tub was a highlight, the room large and comfortable. Small touches - like chocolates, and underfloor heating were greatly appreciated. The breakfast, which is cooked to order at the time that suited you was delicious. The chef and hostess were lovely and friendly and full of suggestions for a day out. We did a winery tour and visited Arrowtown. Of course our stay was too short, but we will be back. The lodge is easily accessible by taking the bus from town or the airport and then getting the number 1 bus from town to the last stop. We found this easy and appreciated being somewhere quieter away from the bustle.

Verified reviewThe entire experience from start to finish was fantastic. Wendy, Dave and all the staff were really pleasant and happy to make recommendations to maximise your time in Queenstown. Both the common areas and the bedrooms are well designed and furnished to make the most of the absolutely stunning views. I highly recommend springing for the hot tub. There is something special about lazing it it whilst the sun goes down and the old steam boat chugs past. Literally one of the best places I have ever stayed.
Kia ora! We thoroughly enjoyed hosting you both. Glad you enjoyed your stay and we are sorry we missed you to say farewell. David, Wendy, Brooke and Connor :))))

Verified reviewAbsolutely loved our stay at Hidden Lodge! The views over Lake Wakatipu and the Remarkables were simply breathtaking, and the peaceful, secluded location made it feel like a true escape. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and attentive, and the rooms were beautifully designed—cozy, clean, and luxurious. Loved the gourmet breakfasts. Can’t recommend it enough—this place is a gem!

Verified reviewEverything!! The space is beautifully furnished and every detail has been thought of. We booked the Tahi suite, which was was spacious with gorgeous furniture. It also had a great view of the lake and nice balcony. The bathroom was spacious with a heater and towel warmer. The best part was the service. It is run by a husband & wife who are both incredible hosts. They were very responsive, had great recommendations, and offer made-to-order breakfast. There is guaranteed parking
Our only regret is we did not stay longer! We hope to return to Hidden Lodge again in the future.
