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 are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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.).

ChinaThe check-in and check-out hours are so strict. Our activation code didn’t work until 3pm and we arrived earlier but were not let in. The host sent reminders about check-out and asked to leave the property before 10 otherwise there will be charges. This does not feel so friendly. The property was a little far from Queenstown city centre, if you don’t have your own transportation, it may be a problem.
The apartment is in a two-story building, and we have the private access to the second floor which is great. The view from the balcony worth a million. And you have easy access to the Queenstown trail which is good for a walk. The kitchen was well equipped. It’s a delight there is even a wide selection of spices, soy sources, olive oil. The Nespresso coffee machine was nice! The two bedrooms offer a queen bed and a bathroom each. The master bedroom is huge and has a patio.

New ZealandThe food at the nearby Wakatipu Grill - don't bother going there. Medium-rare fillet steak was served well-done twice!
The location was great thanks to the views over the lake - watching the jetboats do 360's in front of us! The two bedrooms with their own bathrooms was perfect for our family group.

AustraliaIf I had to pick something, it’s Tight parking for car, but still fine really, fine for us - but isn’t 2nd floor so a flight of stairs could make it hard for some.
Great location, right next to Hilton and the restaurants & bars at Hilton, also can use the water taxi stop at Hilton, just 1-2 mins walk. Very nice apartment, everything you need, comfortable,

AustraliaOne of the toilets had a weak flush and needed a couple of flushes to clear it. Also I didn't feel that the owners were very warm based on the messages, but I think they just wanted to ensure their apartment was well taken care of.
The whole apartment was really comfortable and had a beautiful lake view. The interior of the apartment was very well designed too. It was also very clean and well furnished. I loved the window ledge for reading in one of the rooms.

New ZealandOffering Sky TV and Netflix would enhance the facilities available and enjoyment for guests. Toilet off the living room needs more pressure to flush everything away.
Perfect location with sunshine away from the business of Queenstown. Lots of amenities and shopping close by. Walking and biking tracks, and the lake on your doorstep. Fabulous view from the living areas and balcony. The apartment was upmarket, tastefully decorated, modern with attention to detail, warm and clean. Two bathrooms for two bedrooms is a bonus that we appreciated. Everything you needed was available in all the rooms. Beds are comfortable, shower has excellent pressure and plenty of hot water.

AustraliaThe parking can be quite awkward particularly if you had hired a larger type vehicle however having said that I managed to park the Mitsubishi Outlander without too many worries but anything bigger would have been a bit of challenge
Muesli, milk and spreads were provided along with coffee pods Apartment is very modern with plenty of space with very nice views over the lake. Beds are super comfy. The apartment is located at Kawarau Falls with very nice views of the lake and with the bonus of having the water taxi pick up/drop off about 100mts from the apartment which is a great way of getting into Queenstown whilst enjoying the views of the Remarkables.
