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.).

United KingdomBreakfast was provided in the room and was reasonable - probably represents the improvement potential to get 10/10
Really good base for visiting the Sounds, c2.5hrs from Milford Sound and c25mins from Lake Manapouri (for Doubtful Sound). Room was clean, comfortable and self enclosed. Really pretty surrounding grounds, including some local Alpacas! Host was very friendly & helpful.

AustraliaIt was all great
Gorgeous, quiet rural location only 5 mins drive to Te Anau town centre. Spacious room for 2 people, with everything you could need for breakfast and dinners. Host was so friendly and accommodating, and facilitated a truly memorable Southern Aurora viewing for me. I couldn't have had a better stay at The Garden Room!! Highly recommended and would stay again in a heart beat.

We loved everything about it. It was impeccably clean, had everything we needed in the room, the bed was super comfy, the water pressure in the shower was great and it was quiet. We would stay again and recommend to anyone visiting Te Anau area. The garden was beautiful and the host was lovely and provided breakfast and topped it up for our second morning.

United KingdomOn arrival our host upgraded us to a boutique suite which we appreciated. Our suite overlooked lovely views of open countryside and was well equipped with lots of facilities including a TV and fridge. Breakfast provisions were made available so we always had a good start to the day. The accommodation was only a five minute drive from Te Anau and provided very good value for money.

Our stay at the Garden Room was fantastic. Jane met us when we arrived to make sure we found the place in the rain and got settled into the room. The room was clean and very well-organized, and stocked with food for breakfast in the morning. It was the perfect location to get to Te Anau (6 min drive) and Milford Sound (2 hour drive) and was a comfy spot to relax after full days out and about. Before we left, Jane was nice enough to take us over to meet her alpacas, which was a lovely addition to an already great stay.

What’s not to love? The Garden Room is attached to the host’s residence by accessed by its own entrance… but you would never know anyone else was there it was so peaceful and quiet. So quiet in fact that we could hear the very quiet clock ticking! The room was well appointed, with a glorious shower and comfortable bed and the supplied breakfast was lovely. A quick 5 minute drive into Te Anau township - the perfect launching pad for our Milford Sound trip.
