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.).

Marlene went above and beyond. She is a great host, her home is amazing and the location is perfect! The street with the best view of the mountain, very close to restaurants, great breakfast, lots of great books around the house, amazing house and the fire was perfect to warm up the place. I had just done the tongariro alpine crossing and Marlene gave me epsom salts to put in the bath to soothe my muscles, and she always made sure the fire was on to keep the house warm. Scooty is the cutest thing! Thank you so much, Marlene, for having me at your home.

AustraliaThere was a lovely verandah to sit outside, but only one chair. Note that payment is only by cash or bank transfer - it stipulates that in the listing, but it was something that we easily overlooked until we arrived. International bank transfer seemed difficult to make happen, so getting the cash was a bit inconvenient, but no great hassle. Would have been better if we'd been prepared.
A fabulous place to stay in Ohakune. Only a short walk from the centre of town and set in a wonderful garden. The apartment is very spacious with everything you could need, apart from a washing machine. However, Marlene kindly let us use her machine to deal with some much needed laundry. The breakfast supplies were plentiful and varied. We only stayed for 2 nights, but could happily have stayed for a week.

United KingdomHome was excellent, only problem we had was its a 20 minute walk from station and we had a large and small bag each. This is no reflection on the property just a warning for anyone using the train. Marlene arranged for a family member to drive us back to the station which was very much appreciated House is made of wood so does creak a bit.
Lovely home, plenty of space, lots of food for breakfast, very helpful host, gardens are beautiful. Offered me some Epsom salts for a bath after riding the old coach road.
