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 reviewLocation was beautiful and the bed was super comfortable. The bath was lovely and there was lots of hot water. Good size for two people. Central heating was great - nice and warm in the winter
Great place for the price. Would have liked a sink in the kitchen area but using the bathroom sink worked. The electric fry pan was good but some utensils to cook with. Some face cloths would be great. The towels were lovely. The place was quite but you could hear the upstairs toilet (not a big problem)

Verified reviewConvenient location. Comfortable bed. Heating was good and shower hot. Beautiful outlook.
Wanted 2 bedrooms and booking.com indicated price was for 2 bedrooms. After booking and paying were notified by hosts that extra bedroom cost extra NZD60.00 as they assume only one room required for a couple. We wanted two bedrooms as hubby snores and keeps me awake.

Verified reviewWhat a fantastic location! Absolutely beautiful, incredibly hospitable owners and a place we would definitely stay again.
Some attention to detail around cleanliness - e.g. cobwebs. Providing some sort of extraction fan for the cooker to avoid setting off the fire alarm!

Verified reviewNice quiet spot just down the road from Mt Rosa wines. Easy to find and nice host on arrival. A bonus with breakfast included.
Unaware when booking the additional cost for an extra bed.

Verified reviewExtremely comfortable beds, great bath and shower, very lovely location and views. Decor was lush. Great breakfast provided.
Accommodation was part of main family house, did not mention on site, very noisy wth children, doors banging, family life. No sink or running water in kitchenette. After booking 2 people, 2 rooms we were charged extra $60 clean fee for 2nd room, rather steep as was not well cleaned, bathroom and toilet had not been swept or mopped under vanity or around toilet, for the extra charge and for small place it ought to be done properly. Outside sitting area needed some attention, looked unkept in relation to rest of property. Also no smoking on property, usually outside allowable, heads up if yr a smoker.
Hi, thanks for staying with us. We appreciate your custom and your constructive feedback. It looks like you paid $175 for the room and $60 for the second bedroom. So a total of $235 for two bedroom accommodation, which is in line with other accommodation in the area and most of the time is cheaper. 90% of our customers are couples and stay in the one room. We cant have a sink in the kitchenette (as per local regulations) but there are washing up facilities in the bathroom vanity. (plastic wash basin, brush, cloth, liquid. We missed checking these guests in and this is normally pointed out. It is also in the Compendium.

Verified reviewWhat an amazing location, room and hosts. We had a double room (with a very comfortable bed and blockout curtains) (classed as a 2 bedroom but the 2nd bedroom was locked but we didn't need it). It included free fast wifi, a private bathroom with a spa bath, separate shower, kitchen with a 2 burner cook top, fridge with a small freezer, microwave, cutlery and crockery, frypan and pots, kettle, coffee plunger with ground coffee and tea bags. The views from the room and property are wonderful. Set against the grape vines of neighbouring properties with hills in the background. There is outdoor seating and tables for you to enjoy the surrounds while you eat your free generous continental breakfast. Only 15 - 20 minutes from Frankston (Queenstown) in a quiet rural location. We would highly recommend this property. Arjun, in an earlier review, said that there were cameras in the room. We saw none, only smoke detectors. Google Maps was very accurate in getting us to our accommodation. We used the oil heater every night, and it was much appreciated. The bed has an electric blanket, but we didn't use it.
