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.).

ItalyThe motel is in the very centre of the village, just next to the restaurant, helidrive tours, etc. The rooms are spacious. The view from the room is of the parking, but you don't come to Fox Glacier to stay inside. Overall, a good value for the price.

AustraliaWhile the bed was clean, you can tell that not much care was put in to the rest of the space. The bathroom touch-points were okay, but the walls and tiles are obviously long overdue for a deep clean. The kitchenette has an odd collection of mis-matched pieces that seem to rely on the previous occupants to have done the right thing and cleaned them. The couch is not as uncomfortable as people have said, but it is in need of replacement. Bottom line, it feels like a cheap motel, but it is one.
The location was convenient for our trip, suspect the views would have been amazing had we been there during the day. Bed was very comfortable and linen & towels were fresh and clean. The motel is minutes away from everything in town, because town is about 50m long. Check-in after hours was efficient (a sign was in reception window with our name & room number on it) Parking right outside the room. Garden in the back also looked nice. Shower was hot, toilet was clean, all the power-points worked. Pretty sure our unit also had new carpet, which felt nice underfoot. Room itself was also huge. I'd say it was perfect for our use, one night, a place to sleep and not much else, and was priced as such.

New ZealandThe motel suited what we needed for our stay. The only addition could have been better tv as it was raining the night we stayed there and there is very little to do in the town at nighttime.
The bed was very comfortable and the room large. The tv channels were minimal and we could only really get tv1 & 2. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Internet was free and worked well. The motel was ideally situated as you could walk to all amenities in Fox Glacier.

United StatesThere was a miscommunication with the office. We asked to come a day early thinking it would be the same price, but we were charged more for the first night than for the second (mid-week). We also lost our king room as we wanted to come a day early and stay in the same room both nights. The management wasn’t very accommodating.
Clean studio in good location.
