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.).

AustraliaYou have ensure you take any extra provisions with you, as there are no stores or supermarket in Kettering. The close by Oyster Cove Inn has a restaurant, but very basic Australian style meals only and no soups or standalone salads on the menu.
If you want a quiet peaceful location then Parnella Kettering is No. 1. The breakfast provided was exceptional, facilities modern and very clean, Host Jonathan was so helpful and friendly. Couldn't ask more from a host. Wildlife came to your door each evening which included potoroos, pademelons and little bush wrens.

AustraliaWell appointed accommodation with super comfortable bed and quality bed linen; generous breakfast, morning tea and snack supplies; all necessary cooking accessories and dishwashing products. Lovely to have plenty of space in the bathroom including a spacious shower, large bench area for toiletries and a heated towel rack. Local wildlife (paddymelons) frequent the paddock in front of the cottage and the horse also added to our enjoyment. This is a lovely, comfortable, thoughtfully designed property to stay in. The hosts are clearly focused on ensuring their guests have an enjoyable experience. Very highly recommended!

AustraliaMaybe honey could be offered as part of the continental breakfast (however, the raspberry jam provided was local I think, and excellent quality). Having said that, I didn't expect a breakfast, but certainly appreciated the lovely local bread. Maybe peppermint tea could be offered (green tea was provided, however, and I had my own with me). Herbal tea is becoming quite popular.
The location was so close to the ferry! The environs were beautiful, peaceful, secluded and shared delightfully with wildlife - birds and the lovely pademelons (wallaby-like marsupials) and rabbits. There was so much to do close by -- Bruny Island, local produce stores, wineries, distilleries, nature walks, small towns. Our host was friendly (welcoming us upon arrival), informative and uber helpful in providing us with more than we needed. The 'continental breakfast' was more than I expected and the coffee machine very appreciated. I suggested providing a little honey pot which he may take on board, and if he wanted to expand his tea selection, maybe peppermint tea? However, I brought my own tea so no problem there and it gave me an excuse to sample the local honey and provide my own. All the TV platforms (streaming) that I could have wanted was catered for. The bathroom was HUGE and well kitted out with toiletries. Towels were luxurious and the beds very comfortable. So perfect a setting and stay.

It was helpful to have our first morning’s breakfast supplied. The location was excellent for catching the Bruny Island ferry as well as a base for exploring the Huon Valley. Our host was friendly and helpful, especially so in offering to do our washing as the house doesn’t have washing or drying facilities apart from a drying rack.
