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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. 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. 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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Very minor only - not a complaint - but perhaps a few more power points could be added in the room, for convenience.
Breakfast was great, lots of fresh locally grown produce of which the host Robin was quite proud. The room was large and easy to keep warm. We had a balcony room with a view of the surrounding mountains and sheep grazing adjacent to the property. Robin gave us good tips on things to see.

pillows getting close to use by date perhaps? bit too soft, but hardly a problem. Otherwise, can't fault the place.
spacious, very clean and had everything one could possibly think of. Washing machine even. The host was very attentive and extremely helpful & friendly, and the house pet dog was also very welcoming and friendly. The gardens are an absolute delight and the efforts in organically growing their own herbs & vegetables are terrific. I would happily recommend this place to anyone looking for excellent service.

Robin is a gem and so is the lodge. We arrived late and were still made welcome. The house is fabulous, everything is in tip top condition, it's warm, spotless and spacious. Great linen and lots of great little touches such as chocolates by the bed, great quality toiletries etc. The breakfast was amazing. Robin helped us plan our next steps. This was our favourite stay in New Zealand. Thanks so much Robin.

I was quite unwell and spaced out when I stayed here, so didn't do much or interact with many people but the owner was very friendly and cooked a fantastic breakfast, much of the food being local or from his own garden. Clean and good facilities.

All great.
Absolutely brilliant property , comfort plus. Room size was fabulous and our own balcony when we were able to eat. The guest lounge had fridge, microwave, jug for endless tea and coffee and refrigerating supplies. Very quiet and dark to ensure a great nights sleep. Set in a beautiful garden and easy driving distance to Greymouth. Host was very welcoming, breakfast superb and sent off with explicit driving directions to our next stop. Put Oak Lodge on your wish list.

Had to be careful standing up from the table in the corner because of the tv shelf directly above it - had a couple of near misses.
A quiet and peaceful setting only a short drive out of town. The Studio Unit has everything you need for a pleasant stay and the outside deck is a nice area to relax in a rural setting. The friendly Golden Retriever was a bonus.
