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.).

AustraliaAll ok.
The location on the river with the mountain backdrops from the cabin was amazing. Close to the cruise for day two with a short walk. Room was superb with great bed and pillows. Overall a pleasant two days to switch off and enjoy the location and the food was superb in the restaurant and decent serving of fresh produce. The venison, lamb mains ideal, and sorbet and crème brûlée desserts ideal.

AustraliaHard to fault anything, I was too distracted by the view :) The breakfast should include plant-based milk options, especially since I specified my dietary requirements ~ four months before arriving. The plant-based options at the restaurant were okay but not exciting.
The view from the river-facing room is stunning! The room is comfortable and well laid out.

AustraliaOne quibble which doesn't reflect on staff or management. National Parks has not allowed the Lodge to improve pathways to the Sound or down to the river. It was walk a kilometre beside the road (occasionally quite busy) or attempt some tricky rock scrambling on the degraded bush track.
Milford Sound is stunning and the Lodge location with river views was a delight. Super helpful staff. Tara and the Brazilian nature guide (sorry that we didn't catch his name) were real gems! Lovely to have weka and kea birds walking around outside our cabin. We arrived by bus and were picked up and dropped off at the ferry terminal by staff on a number of occasions. So helpful.

AustraliaWe shared our chalet with another couple. We slept in the room with 2 single beds. Given the cost I think the host could have provided another double bed. The communal cooking facilities were very busy and lacked a lot of utensils and we had to wash our utensils before we could use them.
The location is breathtaking.

AustraliaEverything was perfect at Milford Sound Lodge as anticipated. This was our third visit and it didn’t disappoint, rooms were perfect, staff were helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. We chose the in room dining while the restaurant was being renovated which was an 11/10. Our Riverview suite was stunning and I was pleasantly surprised to find a bath in the room. Look forward to our next trip and highly recommend.

AustraliaOnly a couple of the units have the river view, the others have a mountain view. I was expecting a river view as per photos. For luxury accommodation the bath towels were quite thin, definitely not high quality. A little thing that would be easy to fix especially paying $800/night. The restaurant was closed when we were there so we ordered our dinner and it was brought to our room. The food and wine was outstanding but because all the plates were delivered at once most dishes were not hot by the time we ate them.
The unit was lovely and spacious. The staff were very helpful. The room was lovely and warm

Isle of ManLots of flies in our room but being where it is that can't be helped. We managed to sort it without any fuss.
Even though the hotel reception and restaurant building is under construction, we had great communications from the hotel explaining everything and offering us a meal in our chalet instead of the restaurant. The food was delicious! The breakfast was lovely in our room too. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the location was great for access to the Milford Sound tours. There are friendly Kea who come to say hello too! Beautiful view from our chalet couldn't have a price on it. Lovely stay all in all.
