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...).

New ZealandFantastic views and location looking across Lake Tekapo—no buildings between you and the lake. Staff were very professional and friendly. Came and opened up and put heating on. Great spot for a break between Christchurch and Queenstown

IndonesiaThe property demand is high here during nov-february therefore it has made the price justified. And eventho its already full, we still see some people trying to speak to the host, trying to book our room. Andy suggested that we see stars at midnight but too bad it was so cold thus we slept all night soundly.
Andy was nice. His property is in very good location which is basically just a 5mins walk to the lake. All are nice. Heater was on when we enter the bedroom so it was a plus. All are working nicely. I like the lupin were blooming so pretty just like the one shown in the property pictures.

IrelandExcellent overall. But a comment relative to many places is the lack of ability to open a window, instead of using the AC. It’s unsafe to leave the sliding door open at night.. so no option only to use the AC- even though at this time of year an open window would suffice.

United StatesThe furniture is a bit mismatched and outdated but still clean and very functional.
Convenient location close to town. About a 20 min walk to the center of town, 5 min to the lake. Air conditioning available although did take some time to cool the room given the full glass windows and intense sun of New Zealand. The host is very easy to communicate with and friendly. There was free parking. The room was spacious and clean.

Great location, friendly host, small room on side (garden view) parking 50m away from rooms. I know Lake Tekapo is very popular but I thought it was too pricey for what you get. Ok basic and clean.
