How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewThe hot tub, bar / restaurant and being so close to other bars and restaurants.
It would have been good to have a mini fridge in each room.
Thanks for your review Jenna! We appreciate the feedback. We are so glad you enjoyed our awesome spa pools, bar, restaurant and great location. We love hearing that we were a good base for your mountain trip! Next time, we do have a fridge you can rent for your room. Just give us a shout in reception and we can install it for you.

Verified reviewStaff were lovely & bar had a good vibe. Nice to have a spa with such a great view & also the continental breakfast was a bonus. Rooms were clean & warm and beds were comfortable
Rooms were quite small so would have been nice to have access to the communal areas during the day. I appreciate though that most people are out & about during the day & things can't be left open for security reasons. Fortunately it was sunny while we were there & we could sit at the outside area.
Hi Paulette, we appreciate the kind words towards the staff and facilities. We dont opne our Cafe and bar as it requires staffing in front of house and kitchen when people are either in the beautiful National Park across the road, Skiing in the winter, Walking, tramping, cycling or working during the day. There are a few cafes that stay open during the day or Hotels that cost more with more facilities and activities during the day. We charge for the room and facilities we offer. We are glad the sun was out and you could watch everyone doing these activities from our large outdoor deck.

Verified reviewLocation, friendly staff. Smart TV
Heater in the room but no electric blanket. No fridge in the room but you can hire one. Low water pressure in the shower. Very noisy, walls are very thin between rooms can hear everything.
Hi George, We do not know of any hotels that offer electric blankets in guest rooms. The hire fridges we have hardly get used, so we see no reason to purchase, clean daily and service ones for each room. Hence the price point. We are aware of some rooms noise issues, the last 4 years of trade has been very difficult to finish remedying, hence the earplugs in rooms (which are not often taken for use) We are constantly looking at improvements, like smart tvs, comfortable bedding, sustainable bathroom products, complimentary breakfasts, pressure pumps for each block of rooms (which others thoroughly enjoy), all low cost adjustments, where and when we can. We are trying, but sensibly hence our proudly 3.5 star rating with good reviews and a lower price point to most other hotels.

Verified reviewlove the setting so beautiful and close to town.
the heater wasn’t very warming.
Thank you so much for your 10/10 review! We really appreciate the feedback. We are especially glad that you liked our beautiful setting up on the hill with our special mountain view. Thank you also for complementing our staff. And we are also partial to that draught ginger beer from our local brewery..! Next time, if the room is not warm enough for you, please call us any time as we are happy to provide extra blankets and extra heaters to ensure you are comfortable.

Verified reviewStaff is very friendly. Great food in the restaurant. Continental breakfast was included, which was a nice bonus. Even enjoyed a dip in the spa pool.
The paper thin walls! They provide complementary ear plugs, which says it all! Mind you, the place is historic so it comes with the territory.

Verified reviewThe location was fantastic. Walking distance from decent pub and eateries. The mountain road is super close also. The room was small but well presented, with a tv and freeview channel which we enjoyed when tucking up early. The bed was comfy. The bathroom was decent with good water pressure. Has a decent sized drying room for the skiing gear. Overall a decent stay
I understand its not really a hotel, but given that there is no daily room cleaning, maybe taking out the rubbish and topping up the coffee, sugar and milk in the room should be a minimum.
Hi Andrew our staff are scheduled to do a service after 2 days. We have shown our team the review as a reminder this should have been done and apologies it wasn't for you.

Thanks for the kind words. In regard to your comment on our well-loved banger n mash dish, which we put in by popular choice every winter. Some like it with vege some like it with salad and some just like it as is. We have side dishes on the menu and price everything lower so you can build your own dish.

Verified reviewGreat location, warm , clean and it was great that it was dog friendly , definitely not enough dog friendly places out there . Our 5 year old also loved the bunk beds too . They also included breakfast (toast and cereal ) which was a perfect way to start the day and more than enough food .
Thank you so much for such a positive review, Kay. We love to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us! Great for you to take advantage of us being dog friendly - we love having pets. Hopefully you also came across our two cats during your stay - Puppy and Carrot. We are also happy to hear your appreciation for the staff, bunk beds, breakfast, location and cleanliness. You are welcome back any time!

I didn’t know how to work the heater properly, would be nice to set it to a lower temp.
Thanks for the review Chayse and we hope you had an awesome time snowboarding! We are a great base for Turoa and Whakapapa being so close. Glad that you made use of the drying room and spa pools also! Next time give us a shout in the bar or reception or call the phone number for assistance in the room if the temperature in the room needs adjusting - we can easily show you how to use the heater. Thanks again!

It comes with continental breakfast included which is a surprise for us. Great value for our snowboarding trip.
A bit on the small side.
