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 are 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 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 ZealandIt's easy to see that the owners take pride in a tidy, well-maintained accommodation - not as common as you would think.
It was luck that we ended up staying here. But due to a lack of capacity in Picton and Blenheim we had the good luck to find this immaculate and friendly location less than an hour South. With a cafe across the road and parking outside the unit it was perfect for our overnight stop. Next time it will be for longer.

New ZealandMy only issue was the kitchen window doesn't have an opaque curtain, so people can see in at night if they walk behind the building. Living room/ranch slider, on the other hand, could also use a second provacy curtain that lets a bit of light in.

New ZealandWard is small. This isn't a problem as such, but you'll need to remember to bring everything you'll need with you, or expect to drive to Sedon for food.
The hosts are friendly and the motel is clean and comfortable. Extremely good value for money. Not too far from Blenheim to make this the best value option, especially for families.

New ZealandNothing we didn’t like, just some things to be aware of - nowhere to purchase food in the vicinity apart from a cafe across the road which is not necessarily open for dinner. Kitchen facilities were good - just need to remember to bring supplies with you. Also there is a boil water notice in the room for Marlborough - you can purchase water at reception.
1 hour from Picton Ferry on the main road, however the rooms were quiet enough. Lovely clean and tidy property and comfortable rooms. Thanks for a great stay.

New ZealandConsidering the sign warning us to boil drinking water it would have been nice to have a jug of such boiled water in the fridge. By the time we boiled then cooled the water (which was tricky without a jug to pour it into), we were so thirsty.
Plenty of space for the 4 of us. Great shower!

New ZealandDid not realise that we needed to boil water as the little sign I didn’t notice until after filling my sons drink bottle- would recommend the hosts change the sign to red or something so it’s more noticeable or informed us at check in so we were aware. Other than that a lovely place to stay!
Lovely two bedroom room apartment- nice and light, clean, super friendly and kind host at reception. Comfortable. Also a gorgeous bike ride to wade beach!
