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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn’t like. It was perfect.
The owner, Brenda, was very friendly and welcomed us into her home. It was very comfortable and she made sure we had everything we needed. We loved the little personal touches of flowers in our room and the choice of teas and coffee. The bed was super comfy. The garden was beautiful with a stunning view of Christchurch and the ocean and we could see Kaikoura in the distance. Breakfast was very good with homemade granola, home grown stewed fruit and homemade jams as well as cooked options. Brenda is a really lovely lady and made us feel very much at home. We also made friends with Frankie her black Labrador.

United KingdomFantastic position. Beautifully appointed - a true home from home. Every comfort had been thought of. The use of a sitting room was a great benefit. The views from Bea’s house are something to behold. Freshly cut flowers in the bedroom and bathroom were a lovely touch. Breakfast consisted of fresh fruit from Bea’s garden, homemade granola and jams, and scrambled eggs or freshly made corn fritters. In fact, Bea had thought of everything we might need to make our stay comfortable.

This was quite simply the best b&b we have ever had the pleasure of staying in. Brenda went above and beyond to meet any conceivable expectation, she is a natural hostess! Brendas' homemade breakfasts were delicious, the flowers in every room just beautiful and the location was superb. Frankie her dog just added to the homely feel. A great end to our visit to New Zealand.

SwitzerlandYou will be living at Brenda’s house as you stay, sharing the living and dining room. The views and the garden are stunning and the house is beautifully and tastefully decorated. Brenda is a fantastic host (a one-off 😉), very welcoming and helpful. Welcoming and entertaining people is just natural for her. The homy feeling will get to you. Franckie, her Labrador, makes the feeling even stronger. The rooms are perfect. The quality of the bedding is lovely and comfortable. And there will always be a little fresh flower somewhere to enhance the experience . Don’t miss Breakfast, it is majestic!

New ZealandNothing-the stay was perfect, wish we had more than 3 nights.
The best bnb ever - stay here if you possibly can. This is an amazing place, very unique with eclectic collection of qualuty furnishings that just works incredibly well. The host is a 'people person' and an absolute joy. The old saying 'arrive as strangers leave as friends' is true here. Additionally everything a traveller could possibly need (and more) has been provided. The views are absolutely outstanding, and it is nice to be overlooking Christchurch to have the city on your doorstep, but to stay in a quality place and location away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Frankie, the dog, is very sweet and very undemanding and placid.
