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.).

United KingdomNothing. Lovely cabin stay
Wonderful little cabin on the edge of the glacier town just a short drive away from Franz Josef. It's very secluded and romantic, tucked in amongst the fields, with horses around. The accommodation has everything you need. A smart TV, good WiFi, a nice bathroom unit and good well stocked kitchen with oil, vinegar, salt and pepper included. Theres tea and coffee making facilities and supplies. The heater/air con unit works quite well too and keeps the whole place either cold or toasty depending on time of year ( or day...) It's a lovely little cabin and we were very comfortable and happy staying here! Check in was also very easy to self administer and self do so you can arrive anytime and have the lockbox to enter

SingaporeThe apartment was prefect. It was very clean and towels and handwash were provided and you get a great view from the bedroom and living area and we wake up to a clear view of mount cook the next morning. And although we arrive late at night, we didn't have any problem finding our way to the apartment as the owner was very thoughtful to put up sign along the way near the apartment to ensure guest doesn't get lost. Highly recommended!

AustraliaThe cabin is on the smaller side. There is no deck awnings so when it rained we had to close all the doors to stop the wild rain coming in.

AustraliaWe loved staying here - nothing negative to say - we were very happy
We loved this little unit. The views onto the mountain were beautiful and the bed was very comfortable with a comfy couch too. I have read a few of the previous reviews with people complaining that the bathroom was too small, and lets be honest - it is..... BUT - if my butt can park its self on the loo and get into the shower (and lets be honest - I have a big butt!!!) you can too - yes its small and compact but it has everything - a toilet a sink and a shower (a good one at that) then its all good - you don't need to go ballroom dancing in it. The unit was a comfortable easy place to stay with great views ( oh and the horse in the paddock out front put on a galloping show at sunset which made it all the more amazing) Communication was via Booking.com so we didnt need to interact with the hosts (which suited us) but contact details were supplied

AustraliaBe careful not to leave the windows open because sand flies like to enter.
Location was really great, it was 4 minutes out of the township which meant it was extremely quiet and peaceful. Views from the deck were spectacular during the day (horses!) and night. When the sky is clear at night, you can see so many stars! The cabin was really well insulated! The bed and couch were very comfortable. Electric blanket on bed and heaters available in both bedroom and main living. Private parking right behind cabin. Communication about how to get the key was super easy. Would highly recommend staying here, we loved it!

AustraliaNothing, but during the day expect to hear an occasional distant helicopter flying between the nearby town and glacier.
Comfy layout, attractively decorated. Deck is perfect for a relaxing drink while watching the sunset. Kitchen suitably equipped to prepare your own meals. Convenient, short drive to town of Franz Josef.

New ZealandGranted it had been raining a lot, but for a new build with double glazing the place was quite damp (e.g. lots of condensation, even after ventilating).
The place was warm, with great views of the mountains and had a well stocked kitchen. Quiet setting (unless it's windy) and a comfy couch for when the weather turns.
