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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, 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 exterior of the building needs maintenance. Painting, maintenance on decks and gardens.
The view, the room and the restaurant were great! The only thing that needs attention is the exterior of the building. It is clear that needs painting and maintenance.

New ZealandThis is a great hotel, right across from the lake, so it has lovely views from the bar and most of the rooms. We had a really spacious room, with a deck and lake views. The bar/restaurant was good. Lovely food and not too pricey. Good service, even though they were really busy the night we were there.

PolandThe hotel needs refreshing. The rooms look better in the photos than in real life, and the windows were leaking during the rain.

New ZealandIt was a very quiet Sunday evening with few people around and I don't think the normal kitchen staff were on. I found the food was typical pub food but I had fish and chips and the fish while in a nice batter had no flavor.
Very clean rooms, bed ok but the view from our room was amazing. There is a very good cafe grocery store about 3 minutes walk up the road with good food and coffee. It open at 7.30 but a cooked breakfast was after 8.00 am. The Hotel does not do breakfast and directed us to this Cafe.

IrelandThe bathroom was a wet room so during a shower even if curtain pulled the floor got very wet and messy
The hotel room was very clean and spacious with a comfortable couch. It was a perfect location for the glacier activity we were doing. With a good heater.

AustraliaThe deck was due for some maintenance. One of the restaurant staff was less than helpful when we asked for component of a dish to be swapped due to dietary requirements. Instead we we told we'd have to order it as an additional dish. No issues doing this elsewhere.
Spacious comfortable room with great views of the lake.

New ZealandThe accommodation is a bit old and the facilities are not good compared to the beautiful lake view. We booked a semi-double-level family accommodation but it did not come true. They said it was leaky and they could not give us a room instead and gave us two rooms. The distance to Wanaka is about 20 minutes.
It was nice to be by the lake and see the beautiful lake. The restaurant food was also good.

AustraliaThe facilities were 'tired'. The motel needs a good handyman. On arrival the bathroom door was locked (the door self locks apparently) the door to the balcony required a lot of 'persuasion' to open. The deck could have been nice but was in desperate need of repair and repainting.
The view was sensational. The rooms were clean, the staff were friendly and helpful. The facilities, while 'tired' were adequate. The restaurant was very good.
