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...).

CanadaShower only for 5 minutes, then you need to pay 2 NZD to get another 5 mins. It wasn’t enough to wash long hair. Heater in the room is timed. Unless you keep pressing, it will not heat up. It says 2 hours but it wasn’t more than 20 minutes and it went off. It was under zero degrees outside, thus I find this unacceptable. Common area also pretty cold.
Friendly staff, very clean kitchen and greatly equipped, spacious common area with tv, free parking in the area.

AustraliaIt is located a little outside of the main town of Wanaka, which is not an issue if you have a car. Rooms are not very soundproof but there were not that many other guests when we stayed, so this was not an issue
Great stay at Zula - easy check in and check out, enough parking on site. Very large kitchen and dining area, plus common lounge area. We did not cook in the kitchen but there were more than enough tools and appliances for you to do so. Heating in rooms, good working TV and extra blankets made this a comfortable stay

New ZealandThe showers last 6 minutes and cost 2 dollars. It was Okay because the owner gave us enough free coins to use. It's just a little frustrating of a system.
It was very clean and we'll set out. The people there were nice. It was quiet and I had a 4 person dorm room to myself!

New ZealandHot showers were limited to 6 mins and needed $2 to run (was given the money at check in) - if you needed longer, you'd presumably need to pay for it.
Lots of room, well stocked kitchen and the bed was super comfy. The staff were friendly and was a good spot for one night.

New ZealandIt had been falsely advertised as it wasn’t in bushlands instead it’s next to SH6. Alcohol was prohibited which we had not been advised about. The top bunk bed was not safe as the height of the safety railing was insufficient. Our tv did not work so we attempted to use the communal tv however this was taken over by religious tutorial videos. We also did not have a key to our family room and there was no lockers available. We felt uncomfortable as there was a strong leaning towards religious doctrine which we did not share.
The price.
