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.).

Wanaka Stonehouse was very welcoming and comfortable. Having the mezzanine lounge and private access and close parking on site was very much a bonus. Spacious room and ensuite Lovely breakfast and afternoon tea. Informative and friendly owners.

AustraliaInitially I thought that having no TV was going to be an issue, but as there is nothing to watch anyway, it was lovely to enjoy the quiet.
Comfy bed, lovely old bath tub and the out look onto the garden. Close to town, very short drive. Very close to lake and walking distance to Wanaka tree. Parking out front and lovely continental breakfast to fuel your day. Lounge area facilities were great, lovely big mugs, tea, coffee etc, microwave crockery and lovely sun soaked deck to enjoy your meal. Great selection of books.

United KingdomIt’s a little dated. A pretty 15-20 minute walk to town centre. Coffee/tea making facilities in the room would have been preferred. Reference to ‘boutique hotel’ is a bit off the mark.
The Property is large and spacious. Hosts very friendly and helpful. Breakfast included. Large hot tub available for guests

AustraliaWe loved being upstairs, but be mindful, if you have trouble with stairs to take this into consideration. Especially if you have big travel bags. For the couple of nights we stayed, it wasnt a bother for us.
Being in a beautiful suburban location was perfect for relaxing on first stop of our holiday. There was an amazing park nearby you could walk through to access the famous Wanaka Tree and town centre. The room we had accessed a cute verandah that linked to a lounge area on upstairs level, with fridge for guests and tea, coffee etc, so although we had private spacious room and ensuite (with bath) access to the house was so special, it is a really beautiful country style home that oozes warmth and character. Bed was comfy and quiet. Bathroom was spacious. Breakfast in the downstairs dining room was lovely.

United StatesUpon arrival, there was a sign on the bedroom door that you need to request the spa 10 hours prior. Earliest check in is at 3pm so this means you wouldn't be able to use the spa until 3 am? I messaged the host but unfortunately did not get a response until 7 hours later when I was sleeping (11:25 pm). This is something a host should simply message the guests about a day or two prior.
The house is beautiful with a lovely garden. It's rustic with a cozy mezzanine and balcony. Short walk to the lake and town center.
