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 bathroom door catches quite a bit including that of the neighbouring guest which woke us up every time they went to the bathroom during the night, and we probably gave them broken sleep as well.
Place was clean, comfortable, quiet and lovely surroundings. So close to Mt. Taranaki too. Our hosts were Trish, David and of course the ever so happy to see you Rusty the Kaboodle, thank you for the great weekend :-)

New ZealandMaybe microwave in the room would of been good (but not really space for one anyway) as we were staying for a week but there was a microwave available for everyone to use. Also would not be a problem for shorter stays as you still had a fridge, jug, toaster, fridge, cutlery and crockery. If you away for a break you don't want to be cooking anyway so not a problem.
Beautiful location with Mt Egmont right outside the window and the grounds were amazing. Lovely rooms very warm, clean and cosy. Really enjoyed the large spa bath after a cold day been outdoors all day. Owners were super friendly and helpful went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable. Would highly recommend the location to others.

Fabulous accommodation in park like gardens, views of Mt Taranaki from the lounge, plus the bath or shower if you so choose to open the doors. Spa bath a must after a winter's day walking in nearby National Park. Amazing sunrise and views of Mt Ruapehu to the East and Mt Taranaki behind, scenery incredible. Allow and book time for a spa treatment, facial or massage. Highly Recommend. No cooking facilities but does have toaster plus excellent choice of teas, coffee etc. Lovely host who provided fresh muffins on arrival. Close to Stratford if wanting to go out for a meal, accommodation was too nice to leave, so wine nibbles, toast and Cup of soup perfect end to the day.

We thoroughly enjoyed the tranquillity and the secluded setup of the accommodation. We needed something close to our family, yet we also wanted to treat ourselves and treat ourselves we certainly did. The massages, spa treatments, and swimming pool were all utterly amazing. Plus, the owners were completely dedicated to ensuring our satisfaction

United KingdomReally beautiful room with fabulous view of Mount Taranaki. Had seats outside the room on the patio separated from next door with a trellis and shrubs. There was a wonderful jacuzzi bath and separate shower. Breakfast was lovely too, homemade muesli, yoghurt, fruit, bread, crumpets and English muffins. Great location, very quiet and peaceful, but just a few minutes drive to the National Park and great walks. Trish was great too, very friendly and helpful. Exceptional value for money. Would definitely recommend. There were facilities for massages etc, which we didn’t try.

The absolute star is Trish - she is an excellent host and made us feel very welcome. The lodge is better than a home from home. The attention to detail in the room, comfy bed with lots of fluffy pillows, excellent choice of toiletries and a very generous breakfast to name but a few - care has been taken in providing everything you could need and more. Highly rate this accommodation.
