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...).

United KingdomThe hosts, Ineke and John, were incredibly hospitable and friendly. The room was well equipped, the shower room was modern and a range of good quality toiletries were provided. The breakfasts were exceptional with a variety of foods, the fresh fruit being appreciated. What I really liked was the personal touch - the beautiful cushions and place mats, the quirky table on which to out the luggage, a few magazines to look through. A lot of thought has gone into this room to make it so special.

United KingdomAmazing B&B in Nelson. Top quality room in a lovely property in a quiet location away from the town centre. It was lovely to sit on the patio and take in the view and the birdsong. Ineke and John were great hosts and very keen to help with suggestions of places to visit in the area. A wonderful fresh and healthy breakfast was provided each morning. Would highly recommend Grampians as a great place to stay.

United StatesThere is an outdoor patio area with table and 2 chairs where you can sit and eat breakfast outside which is very nice. The hosts also said we can bring the table into the room to eat inside. The room has 2 chairs but not table. Unfortunately, the first night of our stay it rained so the table was very wet and we did not want to bring it inside. My husband ended up eating by sitting in the floor. This was the only negative part of our stay.
We enjoyed our stay. The room is in a quiet residential neighborhood. The house was designed with the intention to have a separate room and bathroom for renting to guests. There is one designated parking area for guests. The room is nicely decorated and I really liked the bathroom. The there was a shower head, a handheld shower handle and a faucet which is really nice. The towel heater is great to have warm towels to dry off with. There is a nightlight in the bathroom which is great for using the bathroom in the middle of the night. The breakfast was toast with a choice of three jelly/marmalade, peanut butter, or Vegemite. There was yogurt, honey, freash fruit, slices of cheese, and salami. There was also museli and corn flakes. Coffee, tea, milk, and orange juice were available. A load of laundry could be done for $15. I had a really nice conversation with our hosts. It's great to get to talk to the people living in New Zealand.
