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 reviewGreat view and location, and I had room service breakfast twice which was great too. Staff were lovely, and I stayed in winter and the rooms were toasty warm. Wifi was great.
There was nothing I didn’t like, but keep in mind it’s a steep walk up a hill back from town at the end of the day if you’re walking. It’s not huge, but worth noting for those that need to know.

There was a bit of an issue with the booking. I guess we were placed in a. Different room where there was only one double bed where supposedly 2 (one double one single) as there is three of us and have placed 3 people in the booking. So had to call reception to arrange an extra bed.

The bathroom could probably do with a makeover in the near future.

The shower in the bathtub was a little small but the pressure and temp was good regardless.

Verified reviewLovely location near to the town: easy to walk to but high enough to get a great view over the lake. Rooms are generously sized. Had “Do not disturb” out all day. A bag of fresh bathroom towels was left outside. Nice touch. Only tried the restaurant’s lamb shank. It was excellent.
Bathrooms dated.

Could do with a bit of a refresh as longs of the furniture is chipped or marked. Bath needs re-enamelling. Car parking is first come first served and is some awkward places which doesn’t help if visitors so not park with others in mind !

Verified reviewClose to town - walking distance and could park out vehicle next to one of our rooms.
We booked 2 rooms as there were no family rooms for 5 people available. Requested they be nearby (booking made nearly 2 mths ahead). We ended up with on room towards the front of the property and the other inside the premise behind the reception area. No where near each other. We booked a specific bedding arrangement on booking.com and this isn’t what was given to us. It cost $570nz for one night and expected to have the bedding arrangement we booked. Bathroom is dated and in need of renovation.
Good morning, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We apologise for not being able to provide your request of keeping your rooms close together. When different room types are booked this does make it quite difficult to action. We are undergoing room improvements and bathroom improvements within the next 12 months and we do look forward to welcoming you back to show you our improvements.

Verified reviewHeartland Hotel Queenstown IS the Hotel to base yourself while holidaying in Queenstown New Zealand. Celebrating my 60th Birthday with a 9 night booking in a Chalet Studio King View Room, was a Great Idea to have our Winter Holiday. Looking at the most gorgeous views of Lake Whakatipu and the surrounding snow capped Alps from our balcony, the location was perfect to take in Queenstown's Beauty. As the temperature outside plummeted down -4° on most nights, one would never know the chill outside due to our heated self controlled room which kept us warm including heated bathroom with plenty of hot water for a well earned hot shower after a long day discovering the sights of the area. Sleep was no problem with a very comfortable bed and outside noise was never a problem. Housekeeping was spot on + linen/towels was lovely. We hired a car and had no problem obtaining a carpark on returning everyday from our driving adventures and believe me when I say there is so many discoveries to explore outside of Heartland. Food and service at Heartland is A1. From the amazing hearty buffet breakfast to a fantastic dinner menu and to sit in front of a roaring fire with a nice drink in the bar area to relax and talk over what we achieved after a fantastic day was delightful. Have washing to be done, no problem as Heartland has a communal laundry on premises also which was a blessing. Heartland Hotel location is prefect to explore the town with a approx. 10min short walk down the hill to the hub area filled with soooo many great pubs, cafes, restaurants, shops, parks, the Marina and to catch the Gondola up to Skyline Coronet Peak, which I highly recommend a visit or 2, 3. All the staff at Heartland are amazing, friendly, helpful and just so damn nice and will go out of their way to make your stay wonderful. Sure some people will complain about the hill, about the age of the Hotel, about the car park, but hey, take a deep breath peeps, smile, be happy, enjoy Queenstown.
WHAT DIDN'T I LIKE???? Leaving Heartland Hotel Queenstown. That's What I didn't like...
