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 StatesA few things i didn’t love but that absolutely did not take away from the experience overall. First, the room key, while aesthetically pleasing, was a bit cumbersome. It was a physical key attached to a metal credit card-sized keychain that’s pretty heavy and hard to stick in the pocket of (at least women’s) clothing. Not a huge deal though. Second, my room was street level next to a sidewalk so I kept my blinds closed pretty much all the time for privacy. Unideal, but not a super busy street and I was mostly only there in the evenings so missing out on the morning light wasn’t all that bad. I think this is the only room that has that issue based on the shape of the hotel, so I’m sure the other rooms are absolutely wonderful! Third, it’s a a bit expensive, but for the absolute treat of an experience that I got, it was absolutely worth it for me.
AMAZING hotel!! I booked last-minute for three nights and I am SO glad I did. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. First, the location is beautiful, right down the street from the Queenstown gondolas and only a block or so away from the main street. Beautiful views of the mountains from the front porch and back patio of the hotel. Second, the decor and aesthetics of the hotel are so warm, eclectic, and well thought-out. I loved the wallpaper and carpeting and all the sweet farm-themed decorations paired with big florals and prints. Third, the staff & service were WONDERFUL. Kind, helpful staff who went out of their way to make it a great experience for me, down to the little touches of taking my bags from pre-checkin storage right to my room and including little bath soaking salts for the lovely bathtub. Fourth, the food-related amenities of breakfast, happy hour with NZ wines, the 24 hour access to yummy candies, and fresh water and milk in the room mini fridge. So much fun and delicious ways to start and end my days in Queenstown. Also, adorable teacups (to go with the mini espresso machine / kettle) and nice wine glasses in the room for when I brought back my delicious NZ wine. Fifth, as a solo traveler I felt very safe (even though there is not a 24 he staffed front desk) given that both the back and front doors to the hotel have keypad access. Sixth, the very private outdoor jacuzzi with mountain views. I had such a lovely and private experience for an hour or so in the evening, and it was easy to operate; felt like my very own spa. I seriously cannot say enough about how much I loved this hotel!! Thank you DPH!!

New ZealandThat we couldn’t stay for longer!
Service was outstanding! Went above and beyond! Unfortunately our flight got cancelled so didn’t end up arriving til late in the evening but family were able to check in on our behalf. Staff left a lovely note and a bottle of wine as a birthday gift… such a nice surprise! Oh and a late checkout, so we got to enjoy the facilities for longer.. Decor is funky, modern and unique.. love the shared lounge area with open fire and gorgeous velvet couches… perfect for winter in QT! Short work to town too which is great.
