Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
Read more– opens a dialog boxEach review score is between 1 and 10. To get the overall score you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of them. We use a weighted review system, which means the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. Guests can also give separate “subscores” in crucial areas like location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value, and free Wifi. Note that guests submit their subscores and 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 KingdomNothing. It was all first class. The lane up to the property was a little scary, but well worth the effort, and the second time up was fine. Once up, the views were spectacular.
The location and views from the property were beautiful. The breakfast was excellent, all cooked by the owner and it was delicious. The dining room with the table set fro breakfast was stunning.

New ZealandWe feel there should be a refrigerator in every guest room. Guest parking not ideal. Several steps to negotiate from car park to accommodation. The road to the property was somewhat challenging and should probably be avoided in the dark.

GermanyThe street to the property is indeed steep but anyone who knows how to drive can manage that. No bumps when we used it.
Fantastic stay just 20min from Nelson city centre, with an unforgettable view of the bay. Our room was directly on the huge wooden patio. Very comfortable bed, clean room with all the amenities. Great host with lots of advice. I highly recommend it.

United KingdomIt’s pretty remote, there was no welcome and the outside is very scruffy - so you’re starting to feel a bit concerned given it’s at the expensive end of the spectrum for B&B accommodation. Plus, little things are missing - no tissues, no comfy chairs in the large room, just a couple of tea and coffee bags. And $7 for a small beer and over $40 for a bottle of local wine! Most places at this price would throw a bottle in.
The view from the patio/bedroom window is awesome. The bed was supremely comfortable. The bathroom was superb. Breakfast was pretty good.

United StatesNothing really - it was lovely. However, there were two things out of the control of the hosts that I will mention. One night the rain set in, and with it came very low cloud cover that was so thick I had a lot of difficulty navigating up the very narrow and winding road to their hilltop location. It was actually very frightening in the dark as it was a dirt road with no lights. The second issue was the gigantic ditch in front of their driveway. It was extremely deep as I drove off the main road up into their driveway. I was afraid of scraping the underbelly of my rental vehicle.
The temporary hosts, Tim and Lorna, were very accommodating and helpful. The huge wooden deck was a great place to relax and dry laundry. The views were spectacular! Loved the big sit down dining table at breakfast time. Breakfasts were yummy - Tim even fried some tomatoes to go with my eggs one morning. Outstanding privacy - I barely bumped into other guests. The spa tub was awesome - I needed that after all my mountaineering aches and pains.
