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 ZealandNothing.
The location was amazing and also the apartment was so comfortable, it felt like you were at home. The beds were super comfortable as was the living area, and the kitchen, dining and the outdoor area had everything you needed. The view was absolutely spectacular. We also loved that it was very private and quiet.

AustraliaNothing significant. All was great or as expected.
Awesome place to stay for your Queenstown holiday! (would be a challenge to find any better self-contained accommodation close to town). Mae, Ron and James are very engaging, helpful and friendly hosts, and are always responsive to your asks. I would stay at this property again. Location is 10-15mins easy walk on the flat to the centre of town, so to Fergburger, Shotover Street and the wharf area (no hills either way). Apartment is roomy and fitted out as described/ expected + plenty of consumables (e.g. quality body wash, shampoo/ conditioner, body lotion in the bathrooms, and coffee pods, washing powder, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher powder, etc in the kitchen/ living areas). Bonus things I found > #1. The view from the outdoor space is so much more in reality that the photos. You face directly onto the lake with an east-west aspect and can see from Queenstown Hill around to far down the lake where the TSS Earnslaw goes, as well as a stunning view to The Remarkables. There is always something happening on the lake to engage you. #2. There are great walks that you can effectively start from when you walk out of the apartment e.g. to Sunshine Bay along the lake, Fernhill Loop, and an optional starting point to the Tiki Trail/ Ben Lomond Trek around behind. #3. The bath in the bathroom is deep but easy to get into, great to soak and recover in after a day of walking, cycling, adrenaline activities. #4. Plenty of options for drying wet clothes, including putting the clothes rack in the entrance vestibule. #5. There is a convenient stop for the number one bus 10mins away, which links you into the Queenstown bus system to get you to places like Arrowtown and the Airport (we got to the airport for our flight back to Sydney using the bus). Great place for your time in Queenstown.

United StatesThere is nothing we didn't like. We hope to visit here again!
The view is absolutely gorgeous! The penthouse is very nice, and it has everything you need. The outdoor space is amazing! We actually slept outside while we were there because it was so nice, and we could see so many stars! There is a grill for use directly across the street. We didn't use it, but it is very convenient. Many excursions leave very close to this property making it very convenient. We walked to the gondola, our excursion meeting points, and all restaurants we went to from this location. It was so nice not to have to worry about parking, since there is private parking, or even take the car we rented out while we stayed here. Mae was very available via whats app and put us at ease with staying here every step of the way. It was a great experience! I would recommend at least 3 days in Queenstown. We did1 full day (2 nights) at the beginning of our trip (staying elsewhere) and 2 days (3 nights) at the end when we stayed here. There are so many things to do here and excursions that leave from here this is a great home base, and you can walk to most from this location! I really hope to be back!
