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 StatesVenturing out at night when we first got there, the lighting on the property was not so good and it took us a while to realize there was a very nice path. The path was towards the edge/cliff going down to the river, so we were reluctant to go that direction, but in the daylight it was perfectly clear and not a problem afterwards.
The hotel was far nicer than I expected for the price. The decor was great, the room was large and very equipped. The location was perfect being just across the street from everything in the main part of town, including shops and sights.

Room was very large, good quality furnishings, and included a kitchenette and dining area. We only stayed one night so didn't make full use of facilities. Location is walking distance from the town center across the street, and the main tourist hiking areas. The room had a balcony which was good for viewing the night sky, though the best visibility was after midnight. Hotel owners were accessible and helpful.

This is the 2nd time we stayed at this motel. we had a really good experience last year; therefore, we brought our parents this time. The location is very convenient, only walking distance to The Church of the Good Shepherd. we stayed at two bedrooms apartment on upper floor which have very beautiful view, and the lift is great for my parents who are not very good for walking though the staircase. And Dave & Sue and their team are very friendly, Sue told us where to eat and local events. Within the facility, the kitchen is very tidy & clean, everything is thoughtful, they even have a rice cooker. Bathroom is good size and clean, also they provide body lotion as the South Island is quite dry. Overall, we will recommend this motel to our friends.

AustraliaI don't know if it was just us or it's a NZ thing but if you arrive before 2 pm they are not happy campers and they weren't the lone rangers in this!
The rooms were wonderful. Large with TV, sofa, great bed, good kitchen facilities, and lovely continental breakfast. The bathroom was up there for space, a shower, and the cabinet (you could put your toiletries out). The view of the lake was good and it was nice and close to the town. The staff were very helpful and were happy to give you advise on things to do in town.

SwitzerlandI felt sorry for the people living in the house that was secluded and barricaded off behind the complex. I guess the big promotion industry in New Zealand doesn't care about them much. I hope they were compensated for loosing their view of the lake.
It was very clean, comfortable and close to the town center. The caretakers were extremely friendly.

United KingdomNothing that is wrong with the accommodation, but maybe something to add to the guest info. If you hear a siren, it means the local Damn is opening or a call to arms for the volunteer fire, ambulance or police staff. That’s more of a small town NZ thing rather than Lake Tekapo but good to add to the guest info.
Everything. What an amazing view, amazing facilities, amazing everything. Couldn’t recommend more!
