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...).

New ZealandThere was not a main central light in our room. In the evening you could hear easily people talking in the hallway and in the room next door.
The staff were super supportive and kind. Having a bath was a bonus. The place was clean, and spacious and overall a very pleasant stay.

CanadaFittings in room feel somewhat cheap, esp the kitchenette area, but on the plus side all was very clean. Can hear people talking from a room above us. Luckily that was in the morning and not at night. Seems as if the resort development was halted prematurely, so no pool yet or it was filled in. Unfortunately not the most inspiring view to the side parking lot and kegs from the restaurant from our room, but that was a same day reservation when we booked. It's possible that all better positioned rooms were already taken.
Spacious room. Cleaness. Ease of checking in after hours. Quiet rural setting on the outskirts of town, yet a very easy and short walk to centre of Methven. Interesting architectural elements inside and out. Nice views from the breakfast lounge. Very friendly day staff work in this hotel. Easy to walk to many lovely pubs in Methven from the hotel Discovered a charming fairy walk by the racecourse. The hot mineral water spa complex in Methven is a relaxing pleasure to enjoy. Liked that it's not overcrowded due to their booking schedules and observed occupancy limits . Some unusual curiosity shops and cafes in town Came across many helpful and welcoming business owners in this town, including the staff at the hotel. Late Summer season has already an off season vibe but enjoyed that the town was not run over. Good idea to have historic plaques with a bit of history on many of the buildings and their original purpose when newly built.

United StatesIt’s a very affordable option between some popular places. We were so fortunate to find something like this last minute. During January, the town felt like a ghost town but we used this as our base to enjoy Lake Tekapo for a day and then head up through Arthur’s Pass the next day. Breakfast and laundry facilities were an added bonus. There are a few restaurants in town and beds were comfortable, plus the room had a heater, so all of our needs were met!
