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're currently testing a weighted review system in Malta and Iceland (excluding hotel and vacation rental chains). For properties in these countries, 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 Wifi. 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 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive info (e.g. emails, phone numbers, credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (i.e. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and Standards for Reviews
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...).

Nothing - all superb.
Everything about this property is gorgeous from the location, setting and furnishings. It's a really lovely holiday for a family group and a nice change from the usual Wanaka hotel chains. And for nervous drivers, don't worry - it's a simple 20 min drive into beautiful Wanaka.

Still Thinking.......????
The apartment was amazing. Very homely. very quiet location. Loved the proximity to the Cardrona Hotel (2 min walk), we had more than 1 exceptional meal there. The apartment had everything you could possibly want and then even more. excellent for self catering. The layout was exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed the stay. We went into Wanaka most days for activities which is only a 15 minute drive and the drive is very easy. Plenty to see and do in the area. Thanks.

Nothing, we loved it.
A lovely little apartment, really well equipped. The apartment was well decorated and well looked after. We loved our stay here and would stay again. Perfect for our family getaway. It is a little out of the way and you get to test your nerves driving the mountain roads. But our stay here was the highlight of our holiday, we stayed in the summer but I can imagine this being a great place to stay for a ski holiday.

That we didn't book for more nights! It's hard to leave such a beautiful place!
From the moment we stepped foot in the door the ambience was felt. The beautiful lighting created a relaxing tone, the spacious rooms were so welcoming and tastefully decorated. We all were just so blown away with how beautiful the entire place was and it felt like an absolute privilege to be able to enjoy such a beautiful space. The kitchen is so well stocked with everything you could possibly use in your own home. The large couch in the living area is so super comfortable to relax on and the beds are exceptionally comfortable. It was an absolute delight to be able to sit out on the deck and have a meal and drinks and enjoy the gorgeous view all around. Parking is brilliant, so handy right outside the door. Everything is so clean and tidy, we absolutely enjoyed our wee luxury stay. Very convenient to be able to walk around the week township and easy access to the river also.

we travelled as a group of 8 for the rhythm & alps festival on New Year’s Eve. the accomodation provided was fantastic, well exceeded our expectations.. the photos don’t do it justice, the property is very spacious and has all the bells and whistles you could imagine! air fryer, coffee machine, UE boom (awesome bonus), board games and plenty of kitchenware to cook with to name a few. we met the owners on the day we arrived and they were very lovely and went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. location to the festival was perfect being only 5mins away in the cardrona valley, and 20mins to Wanaka town centre, would highly recommend this place! perfect for summer as well as winter for skiing I’m sure. thank you!

Unfortunately the spa pool was closed for maintenance for our entire stay. Would have been great as we were skiing at Cardrona every day.
Beautiful warm & comfortable apartment- we really enjoyed our stay. Being a 2 min walk away from the wonderful Cardrona hotel is a bonus! Great communication from the host- we had everything we needed (incl ski room/ laundry).
