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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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):
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.
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.).

New ZealandThe location was awesome, only a small drive from Tekapo, and also Fairley. Very good value for money. Unit has been renovated and was spotlessly clean. Friendly hosts. I would stay again and would be happy to recommend to others!

United StatesEverything was new and clean. Comfortable bed and furniture. Nice to have a full size fridge. We drove 7k to Kimbell and had a wonderful dinner at the Creekside pub. It was fun taking the walking tour around Burkes pass the next morning. An interesting historical place.

New ZealandI can't think of a single thing, beyond maybe a little road noise. And that's the only even slightly negative thing I can think of.
Gosh, where to start. Spacious, full kitchen with hobs, dishwasher, coffee cart right across the road, great shower, comfy lounge suite. Fantastic value for money and I'll definitely be back there. Won't stay anywhere down that way again. In fact, already considering options!

New ZealandThe only downside was we were in the front unit on the main road and you could head every car that went past. We moved into the back bedroom which helped but you could still hear them. It was Easter Thursday so possibly a lot more traffic than normal.
The place was really clean the beds very comfortable it was very spacious big living and kitchen.

South AfricaClose to the road so occasional big trucks could be noisy.
Lovely big apartment/house newly renovated. Had everything one needs as well as a dishwasher. Lovely couple managing the property. Close enough to Lake Tekepo without being in the busy tourist filled village. Burke's Pass is also full of history and is very quaint.

New ZealandCan't think of anything.
I loved the location in particular. Away from the Hustle and Bustle of Tekapo I just wanted a bed for the night on my way from my work appointments in Christchurch home to Bluff. I stopped at Burkes Pass before on my way through and noticed the Motel and thought that would be a great place to stop. I am a keen photographer and staying a night in a Dark Sky Reserve is brilliant too (even though on my stay it was cloudy). The room was perfect for my needs. Very clean and fun to watch the cat outside... It had a microwave and a kettle and even a heater and electric blanket (it did get cold overnight even though it was summer). Also, Burkes Pass itself is very interesting from a historical perspective and the self guided walk around the settlement (grab a map at the old church) is well worth it!
