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.).

Perfect ! .. Stayed in the Superior One-bedroom apartment with panoramic view. The views were simply stunning, adequate heating for both the living area & bedroom with the gas fireplace. Kitchen was well equipped. It felt like home away from home. Carpark was private below the unit itself, which was useful since it snowed while we were there. Would stay here again & recommend to anyone.

AustraliaPerhaps a queen size bed would be a more comfortable size as my hubster occupied most of the bed. The sheets and blanketing were so soft.
The view was phenomenal. Lake Tekapo is gorgeous. The lady and her 2 dogs that met us were so friendly. The room was so clean, spacious and modern. I loved that the furniture wasn’t cheaply made chipboard or mdf. The bathroom was perfect and loved the heated flooring & open shower as well as the abundant fluffy towels. The town had so many restaurants to choose from. The property had a book made about the town, its history and things in the area you can do plus the restaurants. Lovely idea. Loved the milk in the fridge. Everything was thoughtfully planned for us. An absolutely perfect experience. Thank you.

New ZealandI honestly expected to see a bath because I saw pictures of the bathrooms online, but I was told that this particular room (which for me as a solo traveler was actually quite pricey) is a studio apartment and “entry level” compared with the other apartments therefore no bath. Actually I only booked this place because of the bath so I was disappointed. I have Raynaud’s and I knew that I’d suffer from the below zero temperature on my dark sky tour. I had a hot shower when I got back from the tour instead and that was adequate. The bathroom in the studio apartment has no vanity so there’s nowhere to put toiletries etc. I communicated with the property owner by email and was offered the option of being picked up from town “for a fee” as I traveled from Christchurch to Takapo by bus. I declined, in favour of walking to the property. However I did ask if it would be possible to be picked up from the Dark Sky Project that night to which there was no response, so I walked there and back in below zero temperatures.
I stayed in “The Barn” which is the lowest price point for this property. When walked in I first noticed the warmth from the heat pump, which I appreciated very much on a cold winter’s day. Then I was delighted to find that the bathroom floor was heated .. divine! The bed was comfortable, the amenities were great, the view was lovely.

Lovely apartments very tastefully decorated. I loved the gas fireplace. I stayed in both the 2 & 1 bedroom apartment. The 1 bedroom only has a small fridge but was adequate & the bath was a bonus. The 2 bedroom is huge and the kitchen superbly fitted.

SingaporeMaybe a pick up from the village town would have been more convenient as it is difficult to drag the luggage from town to the suite for a non-driver

New ZealandSmall draw back- small bed ? A double so both of us ended up with our feet off the bed- I'm a normal height woman and my partner struggled quite a lot being 6 3.
Well appointed suite with stunning views. Everything has been well considered for your stay down to the heated floors and mirrors.
