Real Bookers. Real stays. Real opinions.
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...).

FinlandRooms are a bit dated and smelled musty. There is only one common bathroom, which is mixed, and it’s on level one. Rooms have en suites, but they have sliding doors, so there is zero privacy. Bunks are not made for tall people - I’m only 170cm/5’7” and couldn’t stretch out properly. !! They don’t change the doona covers; instead, you get a flat sheet to use between yourself and the doona. I know it’s a lot of work to change them every time, but it should be done. Those doonas are _dirty_ (I was in the room when the housekeepers came and saw them making the beds twice without changing them.) !! This is probably a great hostel if it’s your first one in NZ, but I’m comparing it to other places where I’ve stayed and I was honestly a bit disappointed. It is also quite expensive, but oh well – QT is expensive.
The location is probably the best thing about this hostel, and there’s a nice view of the mountains from the kitchen. Beds were comfy and I liked the curtain which gives you a lil privacy. Staff was lovely and helpful.

United KingdomThe hostel is central, so as much as this is great when finding things to do, there is a lot of noise. This wasn't too much of an issues as things tend to quieten down after 11pm. The top bunks of the dorm aren't the most comfortable.
The hostel is super clean and the facilities are brilliant. The kitchen is great, has everything you need and the views are stunning! The staff keep everything organised and it was always clean. I can't put in to words how awesome the staff are. You feel like part of a family when you stay here and we made some amazing friends and memories!

CanadaThe best hostel I've ever stayed! :) I'm a solo traveler and stayed in different hostels in different countries all around the world. This one I could range as exceeded my expectations! It is located in the city centre, near the beautiful Wakatipu lake, so all attractions, shops, restaurants & bars are reachable in a few minutes. I stayed in a dormain room and shared it with other 3 guests, the most nicest thing was that the room was large with shelves and hangers to put your own stuff and we had our own shower room. Fantastic! Very large kitchen/dinning room with a spectacular view to the lake, just a good vibe to drink your coffee and enjoy the view. The staff were very kind and helpful. The hostel suggests many services including tours, usage of washing/drying machines and etc. Highly recommended!

Australia- Games room downstairs is quite odorous. Made it hard to wait there hoping to run into someone - The lounge area is built into the entrance and lobby, so maybe not the most comfortable area to socialise - Very little space within the showers to store toiletries
- Great facilities, very clean - Good privacy with curtains in dorm rooms - WiFi was excellent - Provided a free starter NZ sim with 100MB of data - Location was unbeatable
