Each 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Love everything but hopefully the sign to the guesthouse is bigger as difficult to find at night.
The property is superb in all levels - very clean, nice furnishings, bathroom topnotch & hot tub with an amazing view of the Coronet Peak is the icing on the cake.

A Weber on the deck would have been the "cherry on top".
Beautifully crafted building... best view from a shower I've ever had. Lovely deck and hot tub, comfy chairs, well appointed kitchen and quiet location. Easy Uber or taxi to Arrowtown. The visit from friendly dog was a bonus.

It was a little hard to work out if we were in the right place as there was now signage. Fortunately, Kate came out to meet us and steer us in the right direction.
It was a lovely and peaceful location. Great spa, great facilities.

Wasn’t very cosy. No pictures on the walls or colourful furnishings. We couldn’t operate the snazzy stove. No signs for the accommodation and no instructions for how to use the various appliances.
Very clean and in a lovely setting. Wonderful view, including from the shower and jacuzzi. All modern appliances. Comfortable beds.

The house was confusing to find, when we pulled up at a house under renovation with diggers, cars and tradies around we drove away thinking we had the wrong place (we came on holiday to get away from our reno!) We asked someone regarding the property and it was the Host Stu, he was really nice, we asked if the spa was working he said yes and helped us take the lid off and the spa had lots of grit all over the bottom. Once in the house I noticed the kitchen drainer had coffee stains on it, I went into the bedroom the bedside tables were really dusty and had hair on, so I cleaned them, then I had the awful thought that the house hadn't been cleaned from the last guests, even though the bed was made, I pulled the sheets back and there was body hair on both sides of the bed!!! Hubby helped me strip the bed and I put everything into the washer machine. Even the washer machine draw where you put the liquid was mouldy. The house felt like it just needed a really good clean. Where the spa is situated the Hosts house looks over it, all full sized windows which felt abit odd. Also the living room/kitchen is combined and not very big, there wasn't enough room for a family of four to sit comfortably and watch tv. In the kitchen there was literally 4 of everything, so if the dishwasher was on and you needed something like a fork/plate, you had to stop the dishwasher to get one out! There was only the absolute basics in the house, we felt like even 2 nights there was to long.
The property was nicely furbished as the owners used to live in the property while they built their house. Their very cute pup came to visit!
