Read more– opens a dialog boxEach 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):
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.
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...).

New ZealandLocated in the centre of Murchison is this gem. Lovely clean and warm cabin in a mini bush setting. Trampoline, tree swing, out door kitchen, games and our cabin (tūī) had its own little brazier for our use. We had a lovely time make a fire roasting marshmallows and making smores. Would stay again if passing through.

United KingdomIt could have been a bit better stocked with things. I’ve found motor lodges to be better stocked. It felt cold in the morning, despite it only being in March (maybe that was a one off). The Wi-Fi was not great. Indeed I ended up hotspotting my laptop through my phone to get a better signal.
It was a nice two bedroom place with some garden. I can’t really find much fault with the property, it’s more Murchison. Basically I’m not even sure why the place is there. I guess you need to be into walking/biking or river stuff. Otherwise there is little point in staying. If you are going to stay then this place is ok. Though I struggle to think of something that makes it great.

AustraliaThe only thing was there were no insect screens on the windows so they had to be closed in the evening to keep the mossies out.
Really liked the location, love Murchison. The cabin was very good in that there was plenty of room & well layed out. The kitchen, bathroom, lounge were all large enough, the bedrooms were also large enough with comfortable beds. The owner was very friendly & super helpfull with riding advice, local weather & mtb bike set up.

New ZealandStaying in the Tūī cottage was like staying at your friend's place. It was comfortable, spacious, had a full kitchen (with more than two of everything), a private garden with a brazier, and board games, magazines and books inside. The bathroom had room for our toiletries too, which is a real plus. Arran, our host, was super friendly and easygoing.

New ZealandThe dishes, especially the frypan and the chopping board, were really greasy. I had to wash and scrub them a lot before using.
The room, which was actually a cabin, was awesome. A really nice lounge with some games, a kitchen and a deck with the garden view. Two bedrooms. Plenty of seating space for an outside meal in the evening or morning sun. My 3yo really enjoyed the trampoline and some balls in the garden. Check-in was super easy with the key hidden in a box with the code which the owner had texted me that morning.
