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.).

New ZealandThe only disappointing thing was that they seemed very short on the menu choices, as they were out of alot of food, and for our stay there was no English breakfast tea, only herbal. But this is minor, it certainly wouldn't put me off staying. The restaurant was pretty busy whenever we ate there.
The hotel and the surrounding area are lovely and full of history and character. The gardens are beautiful and it was lovely to sit beside a roaring fire with a glass of wine. The bedroom was charming, with a beautiful garden view, the beds were comfy and the bathroom was quaint with a fantastic shower. All the staff members we encountered were welcoming and friendly.

Lovely clean room with a super comfortable bed. Very easy to access the restaurant and bar from where the rooms were located. Staff were super friendly and very helpful. Food at the onsite restaurant absolutely delicious! Highly recommend staying here if you are in the area! Lovely outdoor fire which was a great place to sit and enjoy a drink and relax.

New ZealandI did find the room a little bit on the smaller side. And because the shower pressure was so strong, it does get the bathroom floor a bit flooded everytime you take a shower.
Clean, comfortable bed. Friendly staff. There is bar and restaurant right next door with great ambience. The hotel is quite rustic and full of character. Excellent internet connection. Strong water pressure in the shower. And while its located right along the Cardrona-Wanaka road, the traffic I noticed is greatly reduced after about 8pm and doesn't pick up again until about 6/0630am. This didn't interfere with my sleep at all.

AustraliaI wasn’t able to stay longer !!!
A unique welcoming little hotel seeped in history but modernised for the comfort of contemporary travellers. The facilities are perfect, the staff are professional yet amazingly friendly and attentive. The food was more than excellent and the stay was perfect. The whole place was more than value for money. I have never written such a positive review! This place is not only recommended, it’s a “must experience” for anyone visiting the area. I wish every booking was as excellent as this.

Fantastic outdoor garden area where you could eat or drink, with an amazing outdoor fireplace. Attractive day and night. Excellent high class / quality food in the restaurant which had a hunting lodge feel to it. Cute clean and relatively new accommodation with an old world, colonial / early settler feel to it.
