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.).

New ZealandInternal stairs were a bit scary but the house design doesn't lend itself to a better staircase. Older people and small kids might find it difficult.
Well equipped family bach with lovely views and a nice sitting porch. Beds were comfy. Nice garden.

United KingdomThe bathroom and wc were down steep stairs from the main living area. It was not a problem for us, but you need to ve aware of it.
It was light and airy and the bed and the shower were good. You felt you had space to relax. Locally we'll positioned for Pearl harbour and getting to Te Anau was easy by road.

New ZealandI found the stairs a bit tricky, but the four men in our group didn't. And in saying that, we would still be delighted to come back to this accommodation again.
We appreciated having enough beds for our family group of five. We were lovely and warm and had everything we needed. We were also perfectly situated for our Doubtful Sound adventure.

AustraliaInternal stairs are very steep and narrow. Hard on knees and hard to carry luggage to the top level. We learnt to take the outside stairs and put up with the weather exposure. Only one toilet and shower on the garage level. Trips to the toilet meant negotiating the steep stairs day and night
Fabulous location 3 minutes walk from Doubtful Sound cruise departure. Lovely river and mountain views. Garage and internal stairs access. Equipped with everything you would need. It is an older style quirky house with fishing art and trophy's on walls. It has the character of the owners. One double bedroom on lower level and 2 double bedrooms on upper level. Lots of space. Laundry with powder supplied in garage.
