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 use a weighted review system which means that 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.).

New ZealandBarbara is the most wonderful host you could ever ask for. My daughter and I fell in love with every bit of our stay. From the lovely warm hug on arrival after our eventful day of roads being closed out of Nelson and then flying down at night. Barbara's beautiful stories of her life were so delightful to listen to. Our room was comfortable, and the breakfasts were delicious. It is like staying in a 5 star hotel. My daughter didn't want to leave. She and I both felt that we found a new family member. I will be recommending this boutique stay to everybody I know.

United StatesAbsolutely nothing!
Barbara was an amazingly gracious and accommodating host. She was up early to prepare our delicious breakfast in spite of the fact that we had a late arrival the night before when she had waited up for us. Her home was beautiful and immaculate, and every detail had been thought of. If you have an opportunity to stay here, take it! You will not be disappointed.

United KingdomThat we had to leave!
This is a fabulous property, very comfortable, and beautifully furnished, reflecting the hosts tastes and previous travels. It is spacious, comfortable, immaculate, and for what we were looking for perfectly positioned to explore Christchurch, Banks Peninsula, and inner Canterbury. There is private, secure parking, bikes to use, comfortable seating areas, a hot tub, and a lovely choice of breakfasts. Barbara, the host, couldn't have been more attentive or helpful.

United KingdomNothing to dislike at all.
Everything was just amazing! Barbara made us feel so welcome and we enjoyed every minute of our stay. Our room was so spacious and comfortable. We had a dressing room attached to the shower room. Hairdryer, iron, extra towels, duvet and pillows, all to make our stay as good as could be. We would certainly book again.

New ZealandI loved everything.
Everything - from the moment I entered, I was greeted by the alpacas and Fergus (dog). Barbara came out to personally greet me and it was all up from there. Beautifully decorated home, wonderful warm service with a smile and delicious breakfast. Barbara is the best host. She goes out of her way to make you feel at home. You can tell she is an interior designer - my bedroom exuded luxury bed linen. Quality is top notch - 5 star hotel equivalent. All her Christmas decorations are up and I'm now inspired to dress up my home accordingly. All the beautiful pieces in her house tell a story of all their travels. I'm going back just to hear her stories and get some ideas about interior designing. My best stay ever over the last 20 years of work travel. Next time I'm going to stay longer and with family.
