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.).

It was a wonderful stay from the moment you arrive and Jay gives you a big New Zealand welcome. It does not feel like a Hotel stay it feels more personal than that. The house is immaculate and totally unique in its decor. If your staying in Queenstown this is the place to stay.

AustraliaEverything was perfect, there was nothing that we would change or add.
My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary here and it was absolutely perfect. They have thought of absolutely everything. Loved the afternoon canapes and wine, 10 out of 10. Exceptional! The house itself has been restored to perfection down to the minute details. The staff go above and beyond and you can chat as much as you like with them or enjoy the quiet time too. Breakfast was also a standout.

Wonderful location, with a gorgeous view of the mountains and an easy walk to dinner each night. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway in Queenstown!

AustraliaThe staff were amazing and super lovely. They went out of their way to make my stay as easy and comfortable as possible. The building itself and the rooms are just superb and so comfortable. I basically didn't want to leave but sadly had to go back to work. It's a great place to just unwind with easy access to Queenstown when you want to venture out and all adventure activities. I'll definitely be back soon!!

United StatesStill some unfinished construction in Christchurch but no faults to the property at all.
The view could not have been more spectacular from our room. The staff were more like friends from the moment we arrived. Breakfast was exceptional and we can’t wait to come back, which we will do as soon as possible. We would not stay anywhere else in Christchurch and thank you for giving me the courage to parasail; an adventure I will not forget!!!! Penne

AustraliaNothing not to like - exceptional hospitality, location and gorgeous property.
My partner and I recently spent five nights at Hulbert House, and we cannot praise it highly enough. From the moment we arrived, the service and hospitality were outstanding. The attention to detail was impeccable, with every aspect of our stay thoughtfully curated. The staff were super friendly and made us feel truly welcome. The rooms are stunning, beautiful finishings, we had a tour of the other rooms and every single room was gorgeous! Breakfast each morning was perfect, with a variety of delicious options, and the personal touch of offering to drive us into town whenever we needed, was much appreciated. You can tell the staff here love their jobs, they were genuinely amazing with every single attention to detail. Hulbert House didn’t just feel like a hotel; it felt like home. This was honestly the best hotel experience we've ever had, and we can’t wait to return.

The place is so beautiful with a team of excellent people. The decoration of the property has demonstrated very good taste, the breakfast, pre-dinner canapes and refreshments, chocolate brownies and slices are too good. The room services pay extra attention to details. The location is perfect with a short walking distance to the town.
