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 StatesWe have been traveling in New Zealand for 5 1/2 weeks and have had great accommodations. This B&B gets our award for most comfortable bed yet. Very nice and helpful host. Private room and entrance. Big well set up private bath. Located in very quiet neighborhood a few blocks from the beach. Would recommend.

AustraliaWe run into the host and she was lovely. The information provided was great. The breakfast provided is great, however we are vegans so only had the fruit. The location is very good too. The room was very cold (the coldest we have had during our 3 weeks travelling), could have been a bit cleaner too and maybe have less decoration and stuff so you have more space to put your things but it was still okay for one night (not the cold though) we felt more like if we were visiting a relative at their place than a b&b. Also you could hear the hoist through the wall and door that separate the room from the house which isn’t ideal either. But overall was okay.

GermanyOne should not expect a big breakfast, but a tiny refrigerator with some sweet stuff in it. This was fine with us.
It was a cute little B&B with a small garden in a quiet part of Hokitika. Beach, town center and glow worm dell could be reached on foot. Price/performance ratio was perfect for a short stay. The owner was very nice.

New ZealandNothing to complain about but a few things would have made it a little better - A little inconvenient having no small fridge in the room to keep drinks cold, There was no dish brush which would have been handy for dishes, and the milk Had we both had a hot drink both days we would've required more milk. But none of these things hindered our stay
Glynis was lovely and went out of her way to make sure we had what we needed. The room was lovely and the breakfast was great.

United StatesWish the room were just a little bigger to accommodate our suitcases.
First, our host/owner was so delightful! Although we arrived rather late, she gave us prior instructions to make it easy on us. She was so helpful in the morning, and we got to enjoy seeing her chickens in the backyard. Her breakfast offerings in the room were very creative, being housed in an adorable cabinet, with a cute little pink fridge! She directed us to a great breakfast spot, as well. Wish we could have stayed longer in Hokitika, which is a funky/fun beach town.

CanadaThe room is a bit over furnished — there is not a lot of space for two to move around — so we were happy to have sunshine and the beautifully manicured front garden to take our breakfast outside. (We worried about losing our own things among the throw blankets and cushions, though in winter these might be welcome.) Also — real coffee, please!!! For those who can’t bear instant.
Very conveniently located, close to everything in this lovely town. Our host Glenys provides a good-sized bedroom with ensuite bathroom, separate entrance and a private garden. The bed is very comfortable and the shower is fine. Glenys went out of her way to anticipate our needs after we got off the West Coast Wilderness Cycling Trail and sent us off with fresh baked muffins when we departed. She is a longtime resident of Hokitika and had great travel advice for us.
