How guest reviews work
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 use a weighted review system which means that 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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

Verified reviewVery reasonably priced stay and well equipped room in a very old historical house.
I was only informed on the day of arrival that the 'private' bathroom was not en -suite to my room. As I was the only guest, it was however not a problem. The included breakfast comprised cereal, milk (ample) bread butter and jam...no cheese or eggs.

Verified reviewThis was a central place to stay that allowed me to explore Dunedin and at the same time enjoy staying in a large old house in keeping with the area and history of Dunedin. Great breakfast, good facilities, novel bath/shower and great host.

Verified reviewelectric blanket on bed, breakfast was good
The bathroom and bedroom were quite cold despite using the heater — only the bed stayed warm, thanks to the electric blanket. Partway through our stay, the older-style toilet flush stopped working properly (possibly due to toilet paper), which made it difficult to use. When we politely raised the issue, the host responded defensively, saying she had “hundreds of guests” and this had “never happened before,” and implied that we might have caused the problem and should resolve it ourselves. This led to a tense exchange, which was frustrating given we were simply trying to report a facility issue. That said, the host eventually agreed to help, and the toilet was fixed.
God bless you.

Verified reviewTime restraints meant I couldn't have breakfast, but from what I saw the room was well stocked with everything needed for an excellent morning feed.
The bathroom was a little cold & echo-ey, but clean & tidy none the less.

Verified reviewWe didn't venture much around the heritage building as we arrived late, spent a night and checked out the very next day. The room was really neat & warm with heater, bed has electric blanket and comfy, the continental breakfast included was a bonus. Very happy with our stay at Everest on High.
I'm a really light sleeper so I could hear the road noises at night. The bathroom and toilet across the hall is quite chilly during winter.

Verified reviewI don't eat a big breakfast so the supplies provided were perfect for me. Given the accommodation isn't purpose built I was very surprised and happy with how thoughtfully every need had been accommodated. The renovated parts of the house are beautiful and I'll be keen to see the house again when it has been completed. The location was also perfect, very close to where I needed to be.
Another lamp in the room would have been useful as it was quite dark, especially near the table.

Verified reviewI loved the authentic, atmospheric feeling of this historic house, which the owners are gradually restoring to its old splendour. The room is very big and comfortable (there is a heater and electric blankets), and it is possible to use the kitchen to wash the dishes. The bathroom is on the other side of the corridor, but as the owners sleep upstairs, it is still very private space, especially at night. Free parking in front of the house is very easy.
The bathroom is enormous and chilly, especially during the night. The old-fashioned bathtub, which I personally found charming, is very high and could be challenging to get into for people with some mobility problems.

Verified reviewCharming old house ! Comfortable bed with electric blanket. Room was lovely and cozy.. Cereal and bread/jam for breakfast were in the room. Simple but perfect for us. We were able to leave our luggage at the house while we explored Dunedin. We appreciated that!
I was surprised to find that the bathroom was not en suite. Initially I was concerned about that but it turned out not to be a problem at all. No one else was in that part of the house so it was indeed private! I would stay here again.
