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 ZealandChairs with backs to sit on in the cabins. Very hard to get comfortable sitting on a low stool
We stayed in one of the cabins. They are a basic room with 1 x bunk bed, 1 x double bed and 1 x single bed. There is a small table with three stools to sit on. Odd that 5 x beds and 3 x stools! There was a small fridge, an oil finned type electric heater as well as an electric kettle. There is only one power point in the room. There was a supplied multi plug power box. We found that there was an outside tap at the end of our block of cabins for water for coffee /hot drinks etc. There was to very comfortable Cape Cod style chairs outside each unit. If you want a good shower go to the portacom shower block. It has mains water pressure. The main shower block is gravity fed and the water only sort of trickles out. Not what we wanted after a hard day at work and just wanted a hot shower. Kitchen facilities were fine with plenty of cooking/preparation space. There is also plenty of eating space with a long dining table in the kitchen. We were in the area working so was using the place a base for lunch/dinner and somewhere to sleep. I would have no problem staying here again and probably will when next working in Hawea.

New ZealandProximity of glamping tent to the other similar tents. It was very easy to hear fellow campers especially at night which made sleeping very difficult. The kitchen dining space did not have an electric jug instead a small 2 burner hotplate which took a long time to boil the jug. Also sink for washing dishes was outside so when it rained we were as wet as the dishes.

New Zealand15 min drive from Wānaka, good base for activities around this area. Cabin is cozy enough with heating available. Could do with more power sockets in the room (the extension provided didn’t work). Short outdoor walk between cabin and bathroom. Bathroom can be a bit busy and chilly. Colourful chairs outside cabin are nice to have a slow day to relax.

New ZealandA family with small children were very noisy until the wee hours. Advise perhaps a 10pm cutoff for quiet. Portaloo could have been closer, or maybe have another.
Awesome spot for the Denver glamping tents. Really good mess tent with all the equipment, nice big table and seats. Portaloo nearby. Tent itself was great. Beautiful comfy bed, very romantic .
