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 are 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 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):
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.
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.).

AustraliaPerfect place for myself, my partner and our 1 year old. We loved it! Just a tiny cycle from Ned’s beach & town. Lots of beautiful walks at our door step. Wifi was great. Pick ups and drop offs when needed which was super helpful. Kitchen facilities were what we needed & a bbq was so handy!

AustraliaOnly area where I could suggest some improvement would be internet reception - while it was generally OK, there were times when the connection failed.
Location was pretty good - bit of a walk up a hill from the shops and eating places, but Lord Howe Island is all about walking. Paul was very helpful and drove us to restaurants etc.

AustraliaKitchen equipment was very basic. Could have done with a few more utensils. But when we asked for more washing up equipment it was quickly supplied. I’m not sure that the staff have very comfortable accomodation themselves.
Lovely relaxed environment. Very clean and quiet. Enough space in 2 bedroom cottage, comfortable beds and lovely bathroom. Private sunny verandah with clear bbq. Food scraps bin and recycling bin all very thoughtful. Lovely gardens and trees, lovely old buildings and atmosphere. Paul, caretaker and manager, went above and beyond . He was always very attentive, organised and so helpful, giving us lifts to evening meals in the village and assisting in any way to make our stay comfortable and safe. He was delightful. Thank you Paul.

United StatesBeachcomber really should restart their restaurant at least for breakfast. It is a decent walk to town - maybe 10-15 min all downhill one way and uphill the return so we rode bicycles but had to walk them up the hill on the return as it is a steep hill.
A very nice apartment style hotel. Our room 1 was superior to some others as it was on the end of the building and thus had external windows in every one of the 4 rooms. Internal apartments would lack a window in every room. If you plan to cook these are well equipped. There is no coffee machine and just instant coffee but we went into town for coffee.

AustraliaLoved it all, except the pretend rudeness of the staff who never gave us our meals at the bowling club. except the chef who cooked great food and drove us home. We arrived at 6.30pm we had a booking. There was no table no problem, but our meal arrived at 8.45 pm after 6.30pm order. All locals were served, including dessert and went home. We felt unwanted. It was awful except the chef. I will always tell all my friends to never go to the bowling club it is clearly the message for tourists.
The service by Paul was exceptional. We had a ball and Paul made it fantastic. Paul is a gem to this business.

AustraliaThe kitchen facilities were basic as we wanted to self cater for most evenings. Not enough cutlery and plates and accessories. Salt and pepper and cooking oil would be very handy too. A really useful modification to the room would be an overhead fan as it heated up a lot during the day. The pedestal fan provided was just adequate. An overhead fan particularly at night would have been ideal
Relaxed environment. Friendly staff.

AustraliaAir con, but the whole island has no aircon so realistically i can see any room for improvement.
Pauly met us at the airport and gave us a short tour of the island - pointing out nice restaurants, food and some history about the island. Very very happy with how flexible the accommodation was - we had to extend for 2 more nights and it was no problem at all. we paid right before departure with no worries at all. The owner Garry was great to talk to and i am eager to stay at beachcomber again

AustraliaBeing peak holiday time, the pricing of everything on the island is very high. The only bikes to hire are from Wilsons, and unfortunately the bikes are not particularly well maintained and in very average condition.
The location is beautiful and very relaxing. The accommodation was good but could be better with use of the kitchen communal area ie. pool table, table tennis. Paul who picked us up from the plane and helped with dinner bookings was great.
