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 StatesThere was nothing to dislike.
We were warmly greeted by Dave and immediately given a tour of the beautiful room, balcony and common spaces. You could tell they wanted this to be the best stay of our trip to New Zealand. The bed was wonderful, the oversized bathroom and luxury shower were great, the balcony and its commanding view over the entire town and valley were spectacular.

Dave and Jill are marvellous hosts - extremely welcoming, friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to help you get the most from your stay in Hanmer with their broad local knowledge. The views from the lodge are captivating and the gardens add to the beauty and restfulness of the location overlooking the village. The accommodation is luxurious with great attention to detail and comfort. An essential choice for a memorable experience in Hanmer Springs.

We had a tremendous view from our room and a balcony overlooking a lovely garden which was full of visiting birds. Jill and Dave are great hosts who made us very welcome and provided us with information about the surrounding area - even providing us with spa towels to visit the springs. Breakfast was plentiful and wholesome with some delicious home baking. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

United StatesI think a better seating arrangement if they continue to offer a continental breakfast as there was only one low table for two guests. You could take your breakfast on a tray to your balcony if so desired as an option. Also, would have liked an espresso machine in the lounge/breakfast room.😉. The walls between rooms need some soundproofing. You can hear peoples conversations. Although I’m expressing ways to improve the experience we really loved this place and the hosts. So very comfortable with many amenities and a good value.

Friendly and helpful owners, beautifully appointed accommodation, spotlessly clean, probably one of the best locations in town because of the views, breakfast cereals and toast included and home made biscuits, tea & coffee available in guest lounge, free guest use of some mountain bikes and towels for the springs, lovely gardens with exotic sounding bellbirds.

CanadaBooking.com did not advise that there is a surcharge if paying by overseas credit card. Would have liked to know that in advance.
The view was great. Thoroughly enjoyed the birdlife visiting the beautiful gardens. Very pleasant and helpful hosts. Very clean room with some added touches to make the stay memorable. Loved all of the efforts the hosts are making to be considerate of the environment. Ample breakfast (fresh wild blackberries were amazing!) The garden gate opens onto the Conical Hill track - a lovely 30 min walk through forest on a wide, well maintained track.

Lovely property set on the hill above Hanmer Springs. Very comfortable room with delightful balcony overlooking the town below with the valley and mountains beyond that. Perfect for sitting out eating breakfast whilst watching and listening to the birds in the garden. The hosts are delightful and have done a great job in creating a beautiful place. They also care deeply hate their guests enjoy their stay. Lovely breakfast. Would certainly recommend if you are staying in Hanmer.
