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...).

United States of AmericaThe unit was open for us when we arrived and our hosts met us shortly after. They were very helpful offering recommendations and it was a pleasure just talking to them. The location and grounds were beautiful and we loved the unit itself. It was very clean and comfortable and very tastefully done and decorated. We thoroughly enjoyed using our own private hot tub on the patio and looking at the stars as we relaxed. We slept with the glass door open part of the night and enjoyed the feeling of being part of nature. The outdoor shower was hot and the beds were very comfortable. It just added to the beauty of Wanaka for us. We would love to return again and were just sad that we didn't have more time to enjoy such a well done little retreat.

AustraliaNothing we didn’t like! Just remember there is no TV, we had our laptop so just watched something on there if we needed. And in terms of kitchen facilities there is a microwave, jug and toaster. So if you were staying longer than 2 nights might get a little tough if you wanted to cook, but we just drove into town each night for dinner so no problem for us :)
Wow! This was the highlight of our NZ trip! All your log cabin dreams come true here. A cosy romantic escape and feels like you have a little piece of NZ to yourself! (But just a 15 min drive to town so easy access to all the fun!) The jacuzzi was a highlight sitting in there watching the stars. The outdoor shower is incredible! And if you feel the cold like me don’t worry they have a little heater in the inside toilet so you can run in there to dry off in the warm. Also fun that’s it’s on a farm - we got to see a sheep being born in one of the paddocks, and there are goats, deer and horses. Nice and warm in the bedroom, bed is super comfy, and loved the fresh nut selection to try!

AustraliaThe only thing would be, as city kids we were not used to leaving doors unlocked, however the option for a key was there which helped and once we spent the first part of the night there we were completely fine.
It was adorable, we loved the spa and watched the sunset inside on the first night. The dimming lights were perfect to read under before going to bed, as we both enjoy a wind down and prefer not to have bright lights before bed. The note was amazing and helped so much when finding places to go

CanadaIt was the perfect hideaway near Wanaka - your own quiet and isolated cabin for yourself away from the crowds and away from pretty much anyone else on earth. The property was relaxing and very comfortable. You could see the entire galaxy around you as there was no light pollution to bother us. We would recommend anyone who needs to just unplug and get away.
