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 regions, 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.).

AustraliaNo wifi and Vodafone doesn’t work out there. That’s not there fault just good for others to know 😄 Wish there was a little extra hearing like the heating unit upstairs worked as well as the cottage does get really cold when the fire goes out
Dirk is super welcoming and even gave us more wood than we were allowed per day and helped start the fire for us a few times. Super relaxing cottage.

AustraliaThere was not an oven so in terms of self-catering the facilities could be improved.
We loved the setting of the cottage. It was very private and there was loads of space. I would love to go back in winter. The hosts were generous and left us some chocolate eggs as it was Easter and some port. They were helpful throughout our stay. There was a lovely spa outside which we made good use of.

AustraliaThe shower in Barrabudup was very weak in pressure. It was luke warm in temperature, didn't need to run the cold tap. I ended up showering in the other room. That shower had great pressure and great heat. I was disappointed I picked the wrong room.

AustraliaExtremely disappointing- owners are rude and disrespectful. Dirk creeps around at night checking everything - our 20 year old daughters felt so unsafe - he asked why our daughters left the light on outside their room in the back terrace( which means he would have been walking around at night ‘checking’ if everything’s okay). He walks around your rented space unannounced. If you rent out a villa the space should be private for the time you are there? There was 4 of us staying in the 2 bedroom villa I asked if it’s ok for my brother and sister with my 4 year old niece to come for the day. Dirk said of course that’s not a problem.that was very nice of him.We were out all day and came back around 4:30 made some dinner and sat around talking laughing listening to music (which was not excessively loud)having some drinks as after all we are on holiday and enjoying our weekend away. Our niece fell asleep around 7:30. I knocked on the reception door a couple of times and no one answered I was going to ask dirk if it was ok that they slept the night and go home in morning and offer to pay for the extra 2 adults. As it was getting late and it’s a 4 hour drive back to Perth. (Especially with a 4 year old) at 9:30 dirk out of nowhere once again just came walking into our private rented space and his words-“So I just want to know what is going on what are the sleeping arrangements tonight?” I said to dirk that I tried to knock on the door and ask you 2 hours ago if this was going to be ok the rooms we rented had the space for additional 4 people to sleep 2 single beds in each of the rooms and a pull out double sofa in the living space. We didn’t ask for anything from the owners we were just going to make it work for the night. I told him this and said I would like to pay for 2 more adults for the night. Dirk then started raising his voice saying but why didn’t you tell me when did you know that they were going to stay the night and kept repeating himself.
The location was fantastic with great views

AustraliaNeeded to provide a washing up cloth, the scourer was no good for wiping benches down. A very minor quibble!
Location was handy between Balingup and Nannup and very peaceful. The gardens were pretty and the birdlife a real treat. Hosting was friendly but allowed us lots of privacy.

AustraliaThe kitchen was not a kitchen. Microwave oven on top of a fridge with a hot plate is not ideal. All three rooms separate so you had to access 'kitchen' from outside.
Expected a villa to be a self contained unit. Not three separate rooms.
