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.).

The room was in the new block, built 2018. It was double glazed, facilities well thought out, and had everything we needed. Comfortable bed, large space with good storage spaces for our stuff which was very welcome. The chairs were comfortable, including the dining chairs. Plenty of electric sockets too!

United Arab EmiratesThe staff is great. Luk is always willing to help. However, the place probably needs a renovation or at list a refresh. In addition, the apartment was cold and clearly needs more winter heating. However, if you are looking for a budget for a couple of nights, this is a good option, with a good location and ok facilities.

Perhaps the best room of any motel we've stayed in, with separate bedroom, large bed, and great shower room. Everything was much more spacious than expected and reception was very helpful. Te Anau centre is but a short walk away along the lake.

United KingdomThe extractor fan in the kitchen would benefit from a good clean. Everything else was spotlessly clean.
A very warm welcome from Luke and he gave us a larger apartment. It was very spacious, comfortable and very clean. It was dated but that made it a little different - yellow worktops straight out of the 70s!

New ZealandNo faults at all
Highly recommend this place to all. We loved this place. We found it so cosy, spacious and the room was very well accomodating with all cooking and washing needs. Car parking was easily accessible. We were a late checkin so they heated our room prior to arrival and easy instuctions to find the place which was so very welcoming and they assisted with wonderful cot set and cute bedding for our little one. The service here is impeccable. We are excited to come here again in the near future. Many thanks again for having us. Donna and Mark :)

New ZealandWe were in one of the "retro units" which we worked out was code for not having been renovated in the last 15 years or so. The unit was fine - but very tired looking. The bed was very hard.
Nice motel, with 2 bedroom unit that was very roomy. Reasonably priced laundry services for guests, and really helpful staff

I was staying on two separate stays, a day apart due to an overnight cruise, and they let me leave my stuff and car there which was a pleasant surprise. The rooms were comfortable and well equipped.
