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...).

CanadaAssuming you are arriving by car, I would recommend backing into your parking spot if you can, as it can be tricky to reverse out of there if all three cars are in.
The place was lovely. A back unit on Warren’s property, tucked away on a hill not far from the Queenstown Airport and the Frankton Bus Interchange. Warren is a friendly fellow and takes pride in his work. The room is lovely with more pillows than you will know what to do with. There is a kitchenette hidden in the closet, and the BBQ worked well too.

There was nothing to dislike! The premises was extremely well presented. Spotlessly clean, tidy, with really good quality bedding with a choice of pillows on a comfortable bed. The location, a very quiet area a short drive from Queenstown, was perfect for us. Thanks too to Warren for being friendly and attentive, an excellent host.

SingaporeThe bed was a tad too soft for me but I know it is subjective and didn't pose a huge problem for me overall..otherwise this apartment is perfect. 😉
The host Warren was wonderful and has so many stories to share and he definitely made the stay feel great. Place is clean, not a huge space but has everything needed for 2pax stay. Location is a short drive to city centre but really near to all the hypermarts which I love. The apartment is located in a remote and safe area without compromising overall accessibility. It's a little gem really. Would stay here anytime.

New ZealandWe had an absolutely wonderful stay! From the moment we arrived, Warren's hospitality stood out—he picked us up at the airport, making our arrival smooth and stress-free. The room was lovely, clean, and comfortable, with a cozy atmosphere that made us feel right at home. Each day, we returned to a warm room, which was a perfect retreat after exploring. A special mention goes to the adorable cat and dog that added a touch of homeliness to our stay. They were such a joy to be around! Overall, our experience was fantastic, and we can't wait to return. Highly recommend staying here for anyone looking for a warm and welcoming place to stay.
