Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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're 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 Wifi. 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 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...).

AustraliaSmall rooms, some cheap uncomfortable stools, & armchairs.Chairs but no outdoor table to enjoy sunshine & clean fresh air. No towel or tea towel rails. No lake view even though this was implied by photos & name. Overpriced in comparison to all other motels stayed within 3 weeks travelling South Island.
Clean, good bed & small but well equipped kitchen as I have coeliac disease, parking off street, laundry. Close to lake & township. Modern refurbishment.

AustraliaThe property is quite old but clean and comfortable. I was a solo traveller is a ‘family’ room. I think it would be quite cramped for more than 2 people.
Great location. I deliberately booked the room with a balcony overlooking the lake and have to say it was worth it for that view and for the location. Considering how hard it is to get accomadation in Te Anau, this is a decent option.

AustraliaThis unit had two additional single beds in the living area. One would have been fine however two made the space with two armchairs very tight.
Motel unit had been recently refurbished. It was ground level with parking adjacent. Clean. Bed comfortable. Two rooms, bedroom & compact open plan kitchen & living. Very nice modern bathroom with storage. Very rarely get storage.

United States of AmericaThe ‘patio’ was two chairs on the driveway and not sure it was fair to call it a patio. Odd to never see anyone but had all our communication through text or IM. Seems like many hotels in NZ are having a hard time finding staff.
The suite was very spacious, and we liked having a separate bedroom. Kitchen area was well supplied with all we needed. Easy check in. Probably 10-12 minute walk into the lovely town of Te Anau. Can be lakeside in 2-3 minutes.

Hong KongNo staff on-site due to general service labour shortages but that didn’t impact us and they were very responsive when we messaged.
We stayed in room 1 and found it to be modernised and clean, a short walk to everything in the town. Two of us but it can sleep 4 if you don’t mind those in the lounge accessing the bathroom via the main bedroom. No stovetop but had an electric hot plate. Overall we had a comfortable stay.

SingaporePerhaps a little dusty in some corners.
Very tranquil neighbourhood, just a minute away from the lake. No reception but the cleaning team was very welcoming to us. Room smelled fresh and place was clean. Good cooking facilities and heating was even provided in the bathroom. Which helped warm us up/ dry off after a cold and rainy day at Milford Sound.
