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...).

AustraliaNo fan in the bathroom. There was a switch that I assume was the fan but it was taped over so you couldn't access it.
Location was amazing! View from our bedroom windows out to the balcony were unbeatable of the lake and mountains. Ann Maree was an amazing and kind host. The heating and shower pressure were amazing.

We loved everything about the property. To start the hosts Anne-Marie and Sab were amazing, really friendly and a down to earth couple. The room was super clean and fresh with nice views of Lake Tekapo. The bed was extra comfy and we honestly had the BEST sleep we have ever had.

Lake Tekapo is a small dream town with amazing views of the southern alps. Our room at Ranginui at Lake Tekapo had amazing lake and Mountain View and the blue waters of the lake look surreal. This is a very well maintained B&B and feel super premium. Our host Ann is so sweet and helpful. She served us hot breakfast with multiple options and you dine in the main dining hall. It is like a close friend hosting you at their home for breakfast. Ann loves to share all the tourist tips and would suggest great options around Tekapo and even for your extended road trips in NZ. Thank you so much Ann and we loved every minute of our stay there.

MalaysiaOur wonderful host, Ann-Maree, went out of her way to make our stay a very memorable experience. The location is but a stone throw away from the town center, very convenient for visitors to navigate around. Also not forgetting the magnificent view of Lake Takepo when you step into the room. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a lovely stay in Lake Takepo.
