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.).

Upstairs room was an open mezzanine with steep stairs, but didn't bother us. Got very toasty with the fire on.
Fantastic little cozy cottage in Wanaka. Perfect for a family trip. Close to Rippon Winery and about 20 minute walk into the town centre. The kitchen was well stocked with lots of utensils and plates, and a big table for games and dinners.

It’s a bit of a walk into the town so may not be ideal if you don’t have a car and aren’t super mobile.
It was nice and cosy with the log fire after a day of being out in the cold. It had everything we needed and the house heated up quickly.

If the washing machine could be cleaner that would be perfect!
Unfortunately, the PIN provided on the day that I booked didn't work. I had to contact the lady who takes care of the property, and we tried a few times to get the right code to enter. It took us about 10 mins to wait outside.

Nothing, we enjoyed our stay.
Ken and Leonie are great hosts, contactable before and during our stay with any queries we had. They agreed to let us access the house early before the standard check-in time as it was ready. We arrived early in to Wanaka so this was very much appreciated. The house is lovely. In a nearly 4-week trip, it was the accommodation where we felt most like we were at home. The bedrooms are lovely, 2 of them have views of the mountains. The kitchen is easy to use with lots of useful utensils. The sofas are very comfortable too. A great spot for some much needed relaxation time. It's just a short drive into the town for access to supermarket, bakery and great restaurants.

The only thing letting it down is the shower water pressure is a little on the low side I'm guessing due to being changed to a sliding removable shower head. Don't get me wrong I've had a lot worse and I wouldn't it put me off from returning to this property.
Great place, lovely and warm, clean and quiet. Everything you could need was there.

Not much as stated above. Just a toasted sandwich press for making toasties. And a separate dryer to dry clothes easily in.
This cottage is perfect and well priced for a family! Ken was an amazing host and responsive to all our needs immediately via text, which was really impressive and made it so easy. Lazy Daze is close enough to Wanaka town centre so our kids could walk in when we were not around, and the lock box made it easy to store the key for when they came home at any time. Everyone knew the code and could come as they please. Everything we needed for cooking was there, but it would have been great to have a toast sandwich press maker so we could make toasties. Also the washer dryer doesn't dry clothes well even when we put one thing in there. I'd heard from friends that have one, that they aren't great at drying clothes so this is no reflection on the property, just a heads up that this wasn't an option to dry our clothes. We ended up hanging our clothes on the indoor clothes rack and they dried overnight in front of the fire which worked well too. The fire was amazing with plenty of wood and heated the entire cottage easily, with the 2 bedrooms having their own heaters for extra warmth which we utilised on some colder days. The TV was great with both Netflix and Neon to watch so we loved having that option after a long day on the snowfields and mountain biking. The backyard was big enough to kick the footy and enjoy some fresh air and outside time. Really not much to fault with this property and we would definitely stay there again!!
