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 reviewIt was exceptionally clean, modern, had everything you needed. Staff went above and beyond, couldn’t fault anything tbh.
Nothing to dislike

Verified reviewThe location is conveniently close to "town" but better than being in the town because of the beautiful, calm surroundings. The room was spacious and comfortable and pretty (seemed new). The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was decent but could have had more variety.
The loud fan in the bathroom comes on automatically a few minutes after the bathroom light is switched on and stays on for about 5 minutes after using. This makes relaxing in the tub less enjoyable, but I fixed that by using a pretend candle. This seems to be a thing in many New Zealand hotels/ lodges, so maybe it's a building code thing.

Verified reviewRoom was clean and position on the edge of town was good though not walking distance but we knew that. Great to have laundry facilities. Breakfast was sufficient but fairly basic but was all tasty. Lovely grounds.

Verified reviewGreat value for money and not far from town. Our room had an electric fireplace, which made the room feel so cosy. Breakfast was included and very much appreciated. I wish we could have stayed more than 1 night. Thank you Franz Josef Oasis!

Verified reviewRoom was spacious, warm & quiet. The fireplace & spa bath were great extras. The breakfast was great.
The TV wasn’t very good (it would have been great to have a movie channel) & some hot chocolate as a hot drink option in the room would have been nice.

Verified reviewAn amazing place to stay. Just out of town so very private with country view. So private, rooms are positioned so you cannot see others. We loved the massive bed, luxurious seating beside electric fire and dining area. I admired the spa bath but the shower with great force won me over. Breakfast the next day was lovely. The service and continuous supply of ham, cheese, tomato and bread alongside cereals and fruits was lovely. We even left with a take away coffee for our travels. We will be back! A massive thank you to the staff. A dream team and stay.
