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...).

Quiet location, large common area, laid out breakfast, comfortable bedroom. We enjoyed our stay with Ron and Alison, who were very hospitable. There are walks in the area that are very nice in addition to the crossing, which we did not do. Good places to eat in Ohakune.

The property is exceptional. It’s an annex off the renter’s home. The guest has one room with an ensuite bathroom and access to a sitting area, simplified dining area, an excellent continental breakfast and access to a washer/dryer. And Allison and Ron, our hosts, are charming and welcoming.

I prefer staying in cottage style accommodation due to the relaxed homely feel. The breakfast is exceptional with plenty left over for brunch on the mountain. The gas fire gets the room heated up fast and provides that log cabin ambience. Plenty of DVD's and board games for families too. Hosts are very friendly and go over and above to help. Really enjoyed my short stay.

Alison and Ron were so kind and helpful. Having a breakfast each morning really helped kick off the day. We really appreciated being able to do laundry and the cozy fireplace and comfy rooms made the stay absolutely lovely.
So cute!!! They made it very comfortable and we had a fantastic cozy stay. We appreciated this even more because the weather was not cooperative while we were in town so we had to snuggle up and watch a few movies. The cozy fire made that a lot easier.

Late check-in might be an issue if there are other guests, which is fair enough, so plan your trip carefully. For those who prefer privacy, get prepared to share a common space in the living room/kitchen. A standard plate of yoghurt is to be shared between guests, which might be okay not for all.
We had a nice experience staying here! Kind and friendly hosts, and a convenient location on the main road. Spacy shower cabin. Great variety of tea. Spacious shared common space.
