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...).

New ZealandThe accommodation is in a great location close to the city and easy to walk anywhere so renting a car wasn't necessary. The owner/manager is wonderful and is very hospitable. I highly recommend staying here as the room was very cosy and had everything you would need for a short or even long stay in dunedin.

New ZealandDriveway was a bit steep with turns, but I got used to it very quickly.
Interior has a lot of character. Room was more modern, very clean, very quiet. I can imagine the other rooms would have a great view. I was in a single with a ktchenette. No fuss check in and checkout. Loved having to walk up the hill getting my exercise in, after walking down to the mall and the Octagon.

Germany- if you have no car getting to the hostel with your luggage is quite a challenge as way up is very steep - no heating in kitchen or bathrooms, so you have to freeze when it gets cooler outsider
- very exquisite hostel in a lovely building - great view on Dunedin - quiet - well equipped and large rooms & kitchen - new / modern furniture and interior - nice and friendly staff - easy and flexible check in

United KingdomThere wasn't much space to eat in the kitchen and unfortunately there wasn't a lounge, which would have been nice. The driveway up to the house was very steep and rather daunting, but apart from that it was a great place!
This is a lovely big old house that works well as a more 'adult' hostel. It is very spacious, bright and calm, with lots of lovely showers and toilets. The kitchen is well equipped and the staff are very friendly and helpful

MalaysiaIt is on top of a hill, so be mindful of the baggage you have or have your transport be dropped off at the top of the ramp! Unless you have your own car, make use of the free parking they provide.
The rooms were cozy and spacious! The facilities such as the kitchen had all the pots and pans and cutleries for you to use to cook with. Showers and toilets were all very clean.

New ZealandNothing I didn't like.
Place was very clean and tidy. Bed comfy. I had a room with shared bathroom facilities and had no problems accessing when i wanted. There's lots of toilet and shower facilities to choose from and they are modern. Staff are very friendly and go out of their way to accommodate you. The place was so much more than I expected. What a beautiful old huilding that's being lovingly kept. Breakfast was a bonus I didn't expect. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. So close to everything.

New ZealandWe had no problems during our stay.
We were in room 7 and it was very quiet, well set up in regards to furniture, the quality of the bedding and access to facilities. Breakfast being included was a bonus. The kitchen was well stocked and very clean for a shared facility. Given that we were there for seven nights, I liked having access to a change of towels and thought that it was a nice touch to have a spare roll of toilet paper in the room (not that it was needed - the bathrooms were serviced every day).
