Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

New ZealandI came to have a look at the breakfast options at the end of the cut out time and when the guy saw me, he didn’t seem so happy, didn’t even respond to my greetings - perhaps he just wanted to finish up quickly or had a bad sleep hehe! But Bill was great overall in his customer service, so it is all good!
Good location, very central close to the restaurants. Continental breakfast was included in the price and warming up by the fire after a day skiing was definitely a bonus! There is also a pool table and a bar, great for hanging out with friends. The bed was nice and comfy and the room was good enough for 4 of us (including 2 teenagers). Bill, the manager, was super friendly and made us feel super welcome, shout out to his hospitality!

New ZealandIt's really nit-picking as you don't spend much time in there but a heater in the bathroom would have made it perfection, little chilly in there.
Bill was really friendly and helpful; the room was warm and comfortable with heaps of space. The breakfast was good and just what we needed in preparation for heading up snowboarding.

United KingdomThe window/door side of our room was a bit drafty. Not a major issue as the room had a heater and the bedding was cozy enough. There were definitely some dusty spots in our room but pretty much what you'd expect for the age of the building.
The location was great, staff were super friendly, the facilities provided everything you need for a cheap and cheerful stay, the well-stocked pub and inclusive continental breakfast were icing on the cake. I really enjoyed our stay. It was perfect for our family with young children.

Awesome find almost smack bang in the middle of Methven. Beautiful rimu lined common areas and a roaring fire in the lounge. Breakfast provided which really speeds up getting ready in the morning to head up the mountain. Much appreciated. Beds were comfy and rooms quiet. Kids loved the pool table.

New ZealandFire still had ashes in it, and no lighters available if you wanted to light it.
Well appointed with electric blankets, heat pump, full kitchen, ours had a fire although I understand all units do not have fires. It is basically a small home. A private wee yard
