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 ZealandAbsolutely nothing not to like. Amazing!!
Absolute gem. Everything was immaculate. You walk in and don’t want to leave. Location perfect. So lucky to meet both Violeta and Scott which was just lovely. Cottage is a real credit to them. Decor is very tasteful. We have family living in Oamaru and this will most definitely be our go to and just hope we are fortunate enough that it’s available at the time. Thank you so much. Warmest regards

New ZealandThe cottage is a little bit small for a stay of several nights, but there are some clever space-saving features that help maximise the space. Love the kitchen table!
The cottage was cosy, comfortable, and very conveniently located for all the things we wanted to do in Oamaru. The bed was comfy, the rooms were spotlessly clean, and the shower was to-die-for!! (We're going to search for one of those showerheads for our own home.)

New ZealandNothing at all..
"Right on Tyne" was the perfect property for our stay in Oamaru. The apartment has everything required for a short or long term stay, such as a fridge, full oven and a washing machine. It was spotlessly clean. The location is absolutely perfect and only a 2 minute walk to the Old Town and Wharf Area. Violetta was a great communicator and made us feel welcome. We will definitely be back...

AustraliaIt was in a great spot close to shops & cafes. The apartment was such a surprise upon opening the door- it had everything we could possibly want. The underfloor heating in the bathroom, along with the heated towel racks was so lovely. The kitchen was well set out & equipped. The lounge even though small was comfortable & the bedroom linen& pillows were of great quality- even a choice of pillows!

New ZealandVery modest from the outside but superbly renovated inside, with every gadget and comfort you could think of. All the extras bells and whistles, located very centrally. Managed to park our little car on the metal area, but most would need to park out front on the road. Really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.
