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 ZealandThe bedroom door only just cleared the bed making it tricky to get around. This property is an older style motel kept very clean and tidy. The bathroom is definitely dated but quite adequate. It was very hot when we were in Wanaka and that meant the rooms overheated very quickly. There is a heatpump/ aircon but we found ourselves either stifling hot or too chilly with the aircon on.
It was central to Wanaka town centre. We had the front unit which looked out across the green space to the lake, so nice view. It was spacious enough for 2 of us.

AustraliaIt was expensive for what it was. There wasn't any cooking oil or a french press or similar to make coffee in the kitchen, but we did have our own. The bins didn't have bin bags in them and there was no compost bin. We felt bad putting food scraps directly into the bin with no bag.
The location was amazing with a really nice view of the lake (when a big car wasn't parked in front of our window!) and walking distance to the lake and town. Plenty of parking. The bed was super comfy and the apartment was warm / cool when we needed it to be. The kitchen had almost everything we needed. We self-catered a lot so we could eat at the table with the view. Pip the host was so friendly and gave us amazing recommendations both for Wanaka and for our next stop in Queenstown. We'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

AustraliaBy the photos it looked like we had a good view. Since photos taken trees have grown. Also the room was crowded with larger furniture since photos taken as well. New photos need to be taken to represent the property correctly. There was no contact with staff at all.
It was in a good location making accessing the main area near the lake easy.

CanadaWe didn't see a single staff person during our stay there. There was a notice on the door where to find the key and a contact phone number in case there were issues. We didn't have any issues but we found it a bit weird that there was nobody around, not even for check in. For the basement studio, you have to know that the guest laundry is right next to it, and you hear the washer and dryer clearly through the wall. The laundry hours are very reasonable, and we were lucky that the other guests were fairly respectful and didn't go over the allowed time for too long. There is also someone living above the basement studio, and you can hear them walking around clearly. Not that they were stomping or anything, it's just the way the house is built. Just something to be aware of, I sleep with ear plugs anyway, so wasn't bothered by that but someone might. We would still book again, just mentioning the small issues for completeness.
We spent one night in the basement studio and it had all we needed. Private, clean bathroom, sitting area, small dining table etc. We knew we wouldn't have a view, the room is exactly as advertised on the website, and if you are just looking for a clean, comfortable place to sleep and shower, it does the job. It is located just outside the busy downtown area but within walking distance.
