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.).

AustraliaNothing really. It’s a short drive into Queenstown but worth it for the peace and tranquility.
Loved everything. Our room #1 Tahi had such stunning views with its own balcony. The bed was very comfortable. Wendy and David are very hospitable and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable and relaxing. David made us a yummy vegan breakfast. Wendy provided great advice on where to dine around Queenstown. We can also recommend the hot tub under the stars. It was a highlight of our trip.

SingaporeLoved everything.
We loved the Hidden Lodge, best place we have stayed on our trip. The lodge has beautiful views, away from the busy town Center (a good thing what with traffic, construction and crowds) yet close enough to walk in or drive 10 min to. The hosts, Wendy and David, could not be nicer and we throughly enjoyed our 3 nights with them. David is a chef so expect a good breakfast. Wendy gives the best restaurant recommendations, and even drove us in a couple of evenings, amazing hosts! Highly recommend a stay at the Hidden Lodge.

SingaporeThe parking is at the bottom of the hill! Plenty of parking but a little challenging in the dark.

United KingdomQueenstown is a must place to visit on a road trip itinerary. It isn’t a cheap location, for accommodation or eating out, but has to be experienced. Parking is an absolute pain in the town, but luckily Uber operates and offers great rates.
The location, whist a couple of kilometres out of Queenstown, was stunning. The view over the lake from our room will be embedded in our memories for a long time. The property only has 4 rooms so the service offered is very personalised. A great place to chill out and just enjoy.

David and Wendy were very nice and gave us good indications as to interesting places to visit, such as Arrowtown. David prepared a very good breakfast.

AustraliaWendy and David are terrific hosts with lots of advice, stories and support. The lodge view is incredible and the routine one establishes with ordering breakfast the night before, sipping coffee in the morning and planning out the day with David’s suggestions makes the holiday very relaxing and special.

New ZealandNothing! The place couldn't have been better.
The Hidden Lodge was possibly the best place I've ever stayed. The common area was beautiful with the bonus of a telescope, board games, and a beautiful balcony area to watch the lake. The breakfast was delicious and had a great selection. The managers of the hotel were friendly and helpful. The place was peaceful and private and our room was large, clean, and had a beautiful view. I would absolutely stay again!

United KingdomThere is plenty of parking for the lodge but it was a tight squeeze to get into - we were fine getting in and out but it is not one for the faint hearted if you are not confident reversing up/down a steep hill in the dark!
What a stunning lodge! The views out from our room across the lake were beautiful. The suite was very spacious and very well equipped. Our hosts Wendy and David were incredible and went out of their way to make our stay as wonderful as possible. The made to order breakfast by David each morning was utterly delicious! We also made use of the wood-fired hot tub one evening which was incredibly peaceful with a wonderful view of the lake as it began to get dark.

Just a short drive from town and we’re even driven in by Wendy. The view from this property is absolutely stunning and the rooms were spotless, beds so comfortable and bathroom was huge.
