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 ZealandThere are only darkening curtains, so during the day you either close them to have privacy or you don't close them to have nice day light and people can look inside.

New ZealandNothing really that stands out.
The studio is quite good, and the kitchen is well provided with the necessary things for cooking. We opted to have dinner and breakfast at the studio instead of dining out. Very clean and organised. Would definitely recommend anyone looking for accommodation in Lake Tekapo.

New ZealandWhile everything in the apartment was new, the quality of table, chairs, kitchen, bathroom appliances is not very high quality. I fear that it will not last very long. The apartment is in a newly build area above town. A short drive into town, not so convenient for walking.
A very new, modern studio apartment with everything we needed. The check in via door code was super easy. We had to postpone our stay by 1 day and this was possible at no extra charge (thank you very much). The shower was great, the kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinner and make a nice breakfast. We had a view to the mountains (though past some cars and other houses). There is a huge TV in opposite the bed. It was quiet and comfortable. Would definitely book again.

New ZealandIt was a great king studio room for the night (It’s not a one-bedroom apartment as I initially thought based on the title—I assumed there would be a separate room. I think a King Studio would be a much better title). But overall the place is clean, has wall mounted good size TV and netflix, electric blanket which is great as really cold, good size wardrobe cupboard, good heatpump, and parking (being in 15-A) awesome access to room! suggestion maybe wall size mirror, small rice cooker if needed and flannel, not sure if there is one, but importantly perhaps a sensor light outside could be installed to illuminate the whole driveway/parking when someone arrives, at night, it was very dark when we arrived—I had to find my flashlight just to see where I was going. but will come back to the place.

New ZealandIt was quite expensive for what it is, quite basic. As quite expensive I would have thought that beds would have electric blankets as it gets very cold in Tekapo. Because of the price I thought that there would be a better selection of tea and coffee, a coffee plunger and plunger coffee or a Nespresso maker is the usual in a unit this price and a biscuit is always a nice touch.
Lovely unit, new and clean. Nice eco-store shower gel and shampoo in bathroom. Heat pump was turned on in the room when we arrived which was great as it was so cold and had been snowing. Easy keyless entry with a code.

New ZealandJust the smart tv, we cant cast our Netflix but over all excellent .
Clean, modern and quite big. Each room has it’s own bathroom/toilet. Each room has heater too. Bed was comfy for our liking, my husband and I thought that their bed is better than our bed , so we’ll be changing our bed soon 🤣. Easy self check in and check out. Bigger than what I expected. We’ll be back again.
