How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Location wasn’t an easy walk to things. We arrived when school let out so there were lots of kids crossing everywhere.
Clean and comfortable! Lovely little yard. Quiet nights for a good nights sleep. Loved being able to watch Netflix. Kitchen was well equipped.

Only the location let's it down as it is a long way out of town up a big hill. You will need to get a taxi back.
It looks as if the unit is brand new with a lovely out door area to use

Honestly very minor comments that wouldn't stop me from staying there again. We did have to drive into town but as the town wasn't too busy it wasn't an issue to find a park. There wasn't really anywhere to securely store our mountain bikes and not all that much space to store gear in the unit. A gate on the separate entry would be good so if we left our bikes outside pedestrians couldn't see them from the road.
Location was great, really quiet area. Was an easy ride to sticky forest and the jump park too which was great for quick evening mountain bike laps. Unit was really tidy and quite new with a completely separate entry to the house its attached to. Hosts were easy to contact and super helpful when we had an issue with the WIFI. There was even a pod coffee machine in the cupboard(althought I didn't see it until we were leaving).

It’s quite a walk into town/ to the lake, „list of rules“ made us feel not very welcome at first and I have not been asked once in 4 weeks of travelling through NZ to clean up the place , put out the trash etc - I’m sorry but that’s part of what we are paying for, it felt quite strict….also there were 2 towels for 2 people plus a small one each…not a lot for 3 days…same with toilet paper. The fridge is very noisy which is not great for light sleepers
Lovely clean and new looking well equipped little studio, huge outside space, wifi worked well, host answered fast on messages

We just spent 3 days at this lovely place. It's very clean, quiet and cozy. It has everything we needed. The shower was very nice. The bed was really comfortable. We loved the multiple options of making coffee, i.e by plunger, stovetop or a coffee machine. There's a nice walking track at the end of the road which took us to the town centre easily. Walking distance between the place and the town centre is about 15 minutes.

Everything was perfect !
The place is truly lovely, it felt like a home away from home. The area is great among the pines, and just a 20-minute walk from the town centre (and same to Puzzling World and the Mount Iron loop). The host Megan always replied quickly and was very accommodating.

On site parking behind the apartment is on the lawn, which is perfectly fine except on rainy days (though these are not too common in Wanaka)
A modern, very clean apartment in a quiet area. Well equipped and comfortably warm on that winter’s day, everything worked as it should.
