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...).

Where do I begin? My only regret is staying just 1 night. A absolutely stunning property amidst a beautiful town. If you’re looking for a place to stay in Te Anau, look no further. It is worth every cent. And not forgetting the incredibly hospitality from the staff. Rooms are spotless, bed is super comfy and bathroom has amazing water pressure!

GermanyVery minor issue: The bedroom was a bit tight, but on the other hand had good storage space.
The location right at the lake was beautiful and peaceful, and walking to and from the town center along the lake was always nice and relaxing. Our apartment on the upper floor had an unobstructed view of the lake. We liked the spacious living room and small kitchen area. The bathroom was functional, but did not feel as luxurious as the rest of the unit. The laundry facility was excellent; very fast washer and dryer. Spacious parking.

United KingdomThere is nothing we did not like! People might like to be aware, however, that there is no lift to first floor apartments. So suitcases would have to be carried upstairs.
We loved our stay there! Our apartment gave us lovely unobstructed views of the lake. It was a short walk into the centre. The property itself was very comfortable and spacious and tastefully decorated. It was well set out with the lounge leading onto a balcony , a well equipped kitchen including a dishwasher . The bathroom was also spacious with plenty of towels. The bed was comfortable and there was a selection of pillows to meet individual needs. We were pleased about the guest laundry with a complementary use of the washing machine including washing powder. What made the stay even better was the kindness and helpfulness of the Manager Kerry! She never tired of our questions and pointed out some activities and booked them for us and she recommended cafes and restaurants. She even gave us some insect spray for sandflies that we may have encountered! We felt very cared for !
