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 ZealandShower took awhile to heat up but due to winter and a frost the pipes would be cold. Pressure not great but at least it was hot and shower gel available to use. So overall pretty good really - nothing major to complain about really
Good location - close to Hokitika and not far to travel to the Lake or other sightseeing places in the region. Good value for a basic room wth heating and a warm bed. Shared bathroom just next door and a good shared kitchen with everything available you would need. Shared lounge with Freeview TV, books, games and free fruit if you wanted something Bar meals available in the pub if you wanted one and friendly locals to have a beer with

United KingdomNothing - it was a nice stay.
This place was a really pleasant surprise. I booked it fairly late in the day and just thought it would do for a night to rest our heads along our journey. From the exterior it looks a bit washed out and run down and I was dubious about it being a pub as well. However the first impressions were wrong! The accommodation pet of this place is actually super comfy and nicely furnished, with refurbishment works going on in some parts as well. It was very clean and our host accommodated us checking in a little late and took the time to show us around.

Good hearty meals and company at the pub, great option for a meal in case of bad weather or if you don’t want to go to Hokitika.

New ZealandOne of the showers seemed to just run cold water early in the morning - the other one was fine, maybe the tank had run out of hot water from people using it?
Rooms are located on the other side of the hotel/bar so are noise free from that part of the hotel. The room is small but a good size for a single person with a comfy bed with plenty of blankets, a dresser, chair & a heater to keep you warm. Shared bathroom close by with hot shower and toilets. Shared kitchen with a fridge, and cooking facilities available if you want to cook your own meals. Coffee, tea etc... including milk is free to use. Plently of meal options available to purchase from the bar. Friendly staff and locals from the Kaniere area.
