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, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. 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.).

The facility is an historic one, very elegant and cosy, overlooking the city and in a woody area. The managers were very friendly and helpful. They upgraded my accommodation due to plumbing problems. The breakfast was delicious and handmade. Highly recommended.

Penghana B&B was exceptional in every way. From the status of the house high on the hill overlooking Queenstown to all the exquisite furnishings and facilities that Karen & Steve provided and the sumptuous cooked breakfast we could not fault our stay. Thank you Steve and Karen for the time you spent talking to us and showing us your beautiful house, Joy & Chris.

AustraliaI couldn't find a single fault about this place; It was a heritage-listed gem brimming with character. I truly appreciated the numerous small touches that Karen and Steve provided for their guests. From the thoughtful amenities such as a spray for cleaning glasses to the delightful treats available at the kitchen, every detail was carefully considered. I was pleasantly surprised by the warm welcome gift - a slice of fruit cake - and the unexpected but much appreciated essentials like a packet of candies and a toilet cover for my journey to Cradle Mountain. I also enjoyed having a glass of Tasmanian produced pinot noir at the bar while conversing with both Karen and Steve. These gestures truly enhanced my experience and made my stay even more enjoyable.
I loved the breakfast at Penghana. Every item on the place was cooked to perfection, leaving me feeling well-fed and energised for my hike up Cradle Mountain. As a self-proclaimed coffee snob, I found the coffee delightful as well! Although I only stayed overnight, I had the absolute pleasure of talking to both Karen and Steve. They shared their fascinating their journey of relocating from QLD to Tasmania, as well as their family life and hobbies. I discovered Steve's huge passion for Arsenal football!.

AustraliaThere was nothing that we didn’t appreciate.
It was immaculately presented and the hosts were eager to make the stay enjoyable. When you first step into the room you have so much appreciation of the detail they have included in each room. Years of collecting pieces of furniture has certainly been our reward . Breakfast was amazing and nothing was too much trouble.

AustraliaNothing. It's a shame it is too far for us to visit and stay more often.
It is by far the best B&B we have stayed. Karen & Steve have put so much love into the place and services. They gave excellent helps even before we got there, providing detailed instructions on how to get there, booking the restaurant & activities for us, etc. It was an experience we'd never forget. Highly recommend to anyone who visit Queenstown/Strahan area!
