Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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...).

United KingdomThere were no “snacks” with the tea and coffee which the info said there would be. We asked the person looking after the property, but he was very vague about this. Would prefer to have a jug of fresh milk rather than mini UHT milks . Seemed to be several “ rules”. Less of these would have helped us feel a little more relaxed.
Great location for Lake Tekapo and easy to find. Nice room, and easy to park.

AustraliaI didn’t like having to wash the dishes in the basin in the bathroom especially as there was very limited room to put anything.
Clean but sparse facilities. Somewhat confusing check in arrangements with jamming lock box. Situated away from town centre and close to State Highway 8. The garden could be fantastic but needs attention.

United StatesThe kitchenette is not well appointed. It's not a big deal that you can't cook but it would have been really nice to have a serving spoon, cutting board and a sharp knife for bread. All they had were two of each, fork, butter knife, bowl, plate.
The garden is sweet and nice for star gazing at night.

AustraliaThe mosquitoes are horrendous at night. We had to kill a hundred mosquitoes which entered our room when we returned in the evening. The host does warn about this but you can’t understand the extent.
The room was new and modern, great interior and bathroom. Location was also great with lake views. Very quiet location.

AustraliaWe could hear the people in the unit next to us but this wasn't a huge problem. A little more milk for coffee would be nice.
We booked this property for an overnight stay in Lake Tekapo. There are three units at the back of the main house, but you don't notice this too much, immaculately clean and comfortable. You can walk into town (during the day only) or it's a 2 minute drive. Nice views of the lake and an easy check in and check out. Owners were very nice.
