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 reviewLovely little units in a great location. Modern, clean and everything you need. Easy walk into the city. Great value for money.
If I was picky it would have been good to have another rubbish tin or bigger one in the room.

Verified reviewThe photos of the amazing character rooms on the website were what attracted me to book here, plus the website claim 7 luxury rooms….
Unfortunately we did not have one of the character rooms, instead we got a very basic room but it did have a lovely bathroom. We had to clean the dust and cobwebs off the bedside wall. We had a wonderful time in Dunedin but wouldn’t stay at the stables again. Certainly not luxury accommodation, I wish I hadn’t “upgraded” room as maybe the original room was like that on the website!

Verified reviewThe accommodation was clean and comfortable but definitely could have done with a 2nd rubbish bin in the main room as only a tiny one provided in the bathroom. Apart from that it was awesome and we would definitely book again 🙂

Verified reviewCrisp, newly refurbished old stables close to the heart of the city. Lovely character. Great, clear, well timed communication for our stay even though we booked it a long time before our trip. Will book again 😃
Not a negative aspect at all for us in the end, but gave the wifi a rating 1 down from the top mark above as the stated wifi did not exist. However, I was travelling with a teenage child who “hacked into” (their words!) the actual wifi which was just a different name. A bit of trial and error got it working and we were surfing!

Verified reviewGreat location - 5 minutes walk to the city centre. Check in was a breeze, access to the room given timely so no hassle at all. There's bathroom floor heating 💙 Nicely decorated.
Room size is a bit small so if you travel with luggages, it's a bit crowded in the room.
