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.).

AustraliaNothing! Impossible to fault. The restaurant and wine (I absolutely love the 2018 French Farm Pinot Gris, bought a few bottles to take home) are world class and the property is amazing.
Loved our stay! We are return visitors and had the best time. Lunch at the onsite restaurant was excellent and the food (lamb pies and lasagne) we ordered for room service on the two nights were amazing. The room was very comfortable and I loved waking up to the amazing vineyard views in the mornings and watching the most beautiful sunsets. Thoughtful touches like breakfast provisions, mountain bikes for use on the trail and great Sans toiletries in the bathroom. Friendly and warm service. Wish we could have stayed for longer! We’ll be back. Thanks Pen and Nick for hosting us - it’s a privilege being able to stay at the vineyard and have the whole place to ourselves at night!

United KingdomNothing, it was wonderful.
We arrived as weary travelers after 26 hours of flying and found ourselves in stunning and peaceful surroundings at Black Estate and received a very warm welcome by Pen and her team. The room is a perfect little hideaway in the vineyard and we were able to buy a delicious homemade lasagne to eat in our room while we rested and drank some of their delicious wines. We had the place to ourselves after dark which was bliss. We had bikes to explore the area.

AustraliaUsing the air conditioner for heating was a bit uncomfortable and there was a light sensor in the room so every time you rolled over in bed it came on. I thought the bathroom could have done with some heated lighting.
The B&B is tucked away below the main building with cellar door and restaurant. We had lunch at the restaurant and it was superb and made our stay very special. The location is stunning with views of Waipara towards the mountains. There was fresh snow on the mountain tops and the air was clean and crisp. The breakfast provided was perfect with lovely bread, spreads, yoghurt and granola and fresh ground coffee. There is no fireplace.

New ZealandLocation is beautiful. It’s very quiet. The room is comfortable nice to relax with amazing views. The bathroom is well equipped and there is heating and aircon if it is needed in the room. The mini bar is well stocked. The water from the tap is good to drink. Being a winery there are some lovely wines to try in the room, but they are not complimentary of course. Breakfast is cereal, bread, jams, tea, coffee in the room . We take fruit and extra snacks also. There is great walking or cycling right there, through country paddocks and vineyard trails.

New ZealandNothing.
The breakfast left in our room was fresh and healthy. Fresh bread was provided and we could order more. All products were local. The room is the only one in a winery building. It’s very private and quiet. It is warm and very clean.The bed is very comfortable and the bathroom large and well stocked with fresh towels and toiletries. The fridge was well stocked and there was fresh coffee. The winery restaurant next door was open for delicious lunches from 11.30-5. It has a very good reputation for its delicious food and wine. There are many amazing walk and cycle trails through kms of vineyards. We had delightful early morning walks with stunning photo opportunities along the way. Highly recommended.
