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 comfortable, warm, spacious and clean. Beautiful location with lovely chickens in the garden. Value for the money.
Although, a clear direction given, but a little struggle to find a place and the road was bumpy for my small car. Good that we got there in day light otherwise it would be difficult to find the place.

Verified reviewThe rooms are cosy, toilet is clean and new, it’s quiet and peaceful, host was friendly
It was really dark driving back after dinner, it was hard to see where to turn in. The rooms were a little dusty. It would be great to have more space to make breakfast and to eat.

Verified reviewThis was an amazing stay and property. The house is overlooking a vineyard and the views are amazing. The property itself was so cute and beautiful. It has a living room as well and we just loved it. Spoke briefly with the host and she was very welcoming and helpful. Host had a booklet of instructions and it was just so helpful even to explore the area for wineries and food. It’s really value for money. The best stay we had in our trip.
Nothing. It was just perfect.

Verified reviewLocation was amongst the vines, beautiful views of the mountain. Away from the towns so definitely should have a car or way to access. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom/shower was lovely. Really happy that breakfast/coffee/ and hot chocolate was provided.
Alongside other comments, maybe removing the piano and making space for a console table for the breakfast amenities/ kettle/ toaster would be nice. Overall it just seemed a bit crowded. I also thought the heated flooring in the bathrooms was lovely, but wasnt clear how to turn these off and I personally felt like it was alot of energy to be used!

Verified reviewAmazing to walk out the door in the morning and see rabbits, birds and green grass for miles, showers are great and heated bathroom floors made a very warm welcome, very close to Arrow Town, that we enjoyed more than Queenstown, stunning views if you drive up the hill roads, adored the paino and pot plants
A little hard to find at night, so slow down and let the GPS catch up, could have a better entrance sign. And microwave would be the perfect finish to the cute kitchen area

Verified reviewVery cool place! Look exactly like the photo. The owner is lovely, the place is so unique i love the care and her attention to every detail of the studio. It's very considerate ❤️ Wonderful place for morning sunrise I love the vibe of the whole place. Definitely recommend
- Driving up near the entrance, just keep your car's window closed. I was sprinkled some dust from the flower of the tree on the side of the driveway, and it caused some allergic reaction. Took an antihistamine and it was gone. Just, be careful.. - the curtains in the bathroom are a bit sheer

Verified reviewGreat view. Good shower. Spacious. Modern.
Sofa wasn't comfortable. Very small amount of tea and coffee supplied. It would be better to have a table and chairs where the non- functional piano is. People with mobility issues might struggle with the stone steps.
