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.).

MalaysiaThe noise coming from the room AC/Heatpump. Maybe due for a service
The hotel was good, great location with a pub restaurant that served amazingly good delicious food. We stayed at Rm 7 for 4nites, beside the noise fr the heatpump that woke me during the nite as I'm a very light sleeper, everything else was great 👍🏻 We had meals a few times tru out our stay and we love the food served 😋. We even invited our friends in Frankton to come over to the hotel to have meals, and they loved it too. I went to the kitchen to compliment the chef when I checked out. 10/10 for the food served. Compliment to Amelia too the friendly staff.

New ZealandThe room had clearly been through some hard times, smashed mirror, broken cabinet and a big crack on the glass door. It seems like the hot water tank for the bar upstairs runs through the main bedroom wall so we were woken up at 1-2am when things were being cleaned as the sound was extremely loud! we had a bit of a security issue too with a key being left on the outside of our door all night but the manager did apologize the next day.
The location is amazing! The room was tidy

New ZealandI believe the rooms in the place need new carpets, the furniture looks like it came from a junkyard, and the bathroom is really old-fashioned. Also, the TV wires should be hidden away.

AustraliaThe construction of the rooms is quite retro and although the bathrooms have new fixtures the layout is tight, as the original fixture locations was retained. The power outlets were difficult to get to, in order to recharge a mobile phone and laptop, as they were located behind the bed and behind the dresser/open wardrobe.
This hotel is located on the main street of Arrowtown and there is all day public parking behind the hotel. The room was a comfortable size. The bed linen and towels were of high quality. The room was neatly set out and was cleaned to a high standard. The shower pressure was very good, there was plenty of hot water, and the cubicle size was comfortable (refer below for comments on the bathroom layout). There was a positive focus by the team on the 'little things' that made this stay great - the staff were excellent at check in and I was shown to my room by a team member (which in my experience is now an unusual practice), my room had been heated for my arrival and this was welcome as it was chilly outside, and the supplied shower soap and gel were good quality products. My room was quiet and the curtains were a blockout type, so I had a comfortable night's sleep.
