Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 got to the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialize 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 who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team so that our fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we'd publish every review we get, positive and negative. However, we won’t display any reviews that include or refer to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out. We may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old, or if the accommodation has a change of ownership.
An accommodation can reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (e.g. language, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). You can sort and/or filter them by time of year, review score, and more.
Sometimes we show external review scores from other well-known travel websites, but make it clear when we do this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.
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, or 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 other 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 might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

AustraliaKitchen knives. Did a previous guest steal some? Sky TV continually had error message "No connection due to atmospheric conditions" despite the weather clearing up to be pristine on the 2nd day. This was minor as we weren't there for TV, and if so, we still got into Netflix.
The cleanliness was exceptional. Location. Views. Privacy. Hot bath on balcony. Fitout comfort. Gas stove.

AustraliaHonestly, nothing! The kitchen was well stocked and we didn't want to leave so we made breakfast for ourselves each morning instead of going out to eat. Love Hanmer is a blissful cocoon with a private view of the mountains. You will never want to leave!
Everything was perfect. The fittings are all of the highest quality and everything was thought of. The fire was ready to light with plenty of paper, kindling and wood available to keep it going. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

United KingdomMy wife and I stayed here for a weekend and had a fantastic time. The chalet is very well finished with all the accessories you need - there is even a coffee machine! The location is great and the views from the deck are stunning. We particularly enjoyed the outdoor bath and the view of the stars in the evenings was incredible! We would highly recommend!

New ZealandWould have loved a deck of cards or a board game available, we ended up going and buying some in town.
Very beautiful house, we enjoyed the outdoor bath under the stars. Unfortunately I forgot to take a photo of the stars, I went back out later but the clouds were covering them :( We were lucky enough to get engaged in the house too, so we will definitely be back!

AustraliaNothing not to like.
Beautiful view from balcony and because the house was set back a bit from next door properties you couldn't see them from the balcony giving a feeling of being in the wilderness.

New ZealandThe air was extremely dry. There was extreme winds which caused the power to go out. This was no problem but only 1 of the 3 flashlights in the house worked.
The retreat was located just outside of the main town which ment it was nice and quiet but easy to get to the shops if you needed to. The outside bathtub was an amazing place to watch the stars. The fireplace was amazing. It really brought the place together. The stove was a gas stove which is always enjoyable to cook on.

New ZealandThere wasn't an oven tray.. its really my only negative. So that's pretty good isn't it. Every other thing you could need from a kitchen was there!
Its 2 minutes from the pools and the shops. But in a secluded part so you feel like your miles away from everything. It's lovely and quiet. I found myself often just sitting looking at the trees on the surrounding peaks. Reset my whole mind it was so peaceful. The house itself pretty much has everything you could need. It's beautiful in there too. The owners have obviously put a lot of effort into making your stay amazing.
