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 KingdomFor us there were zero problems and it was probably one of the best non hotel stays I’ve had on booking .com. However it’s true that the WiFi was intermittent and unreliable… but we didn’t complain because we had lots of data on our phones so we didn’t give the host a chance to do anything about it; others might need to?
Super clean, super modern, extremely comfortable and well located. Hosts are great, answering any questions but leaving you alone. Bed is fantastic, shower is top level, kitchen has everything you need including laundry facility.

AustraliaIf you want to eat in the apartment make sure you see what’s available to use, as the kitchen’s not super stocked with dishes etc.
Beautiful one bedroom apartment attached to the owner’s home just outside Arrowtown. Loved the plush carpet, the beautiful views from the front and bedroom. Autumn snow fell on The Remarkables overnight and we saw it when we opened the curtains in the morning! Everything in this apartment is new and luxurious. Very tastefully furnished with a super comfortable bed.

GreeceEvery year we are coming to Queenstown during winter. I have booked this accommodation as I was impressed by the photos, but there are some differences between the photos , description and reality. Firstly, I was attracted by the swimming pool in the first row of the description. Then I saw the fireplace in the photos, then aircon in the description. Because we came during winter for skiing, the swimming pool was a big sale point for us. But quickly disappointment appeared because we were told that the pool is very cold and is not recommended After a long drive, we have arrived late in the evening and we were hoping to come to a nice warm place as it was freezing outside, but we were welcomed by a cold house with a big plastic “Welcome” sign on the table. Would’ve been nice from the owners to leave the heating on even on the lowest setting, considering the big house and very high ceiling. The aircon is located only in the living area and in the bedroom the heating options are a column heater and a heated mattress, which works fine but it takes hours to heat up the very large area. The bathroom is absolutely freezing and it’s quite challenging to have a nice relaxing shower in winter. The fireplace in the photos is just for the photos because it cannot be used due to local regulations. Also there is no leather armchair like in the photos. There were no blankets in the living room as in the photos, just two small pillows. The house is lacking small welcoming touches. We had not been given garbage bags for the bathroom bin and I have attached a picture with that and in the kitchen was only the one in the bin not even a spare garbage bag. Not a single one to be replaced for our 4 nights stay. Also would’ve been nice to find some paper serviettes or napkins in the kitchen . For the towels we got only 2 big, 2 small and 1 hand towel. By mistake I dropped mine in the shower so there was no replacement.
Clean Nice view Probably perfect in summer Asked for a late check out and we were given extra 30 minutes Very close to Arrowtown Great bed, nice large windows.
