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.).

New ZealandThe shower space is a little bit small but didn't bother us.
Its great location is peaceful if you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of a busy life. Teresa is an amazing host. Yummy breakfast and chocolates/snacks. Everything was well thought out. Beautiful place to stay at a great price. Fingers crossed it will be available for every time we drive down to Welly.

New ZealandHonestly, we were happy we found the place and will absolutely look to stay there again. We just wished we’d been able to stay there longer.
Teresa and her partner had thought of everything. It’s the little things that matter. From turning on the heating before we arrived so the place was warm and cozy to having little chocolates on the table to extra goodies in the kitchen. They thought of everything and more to make our stay a pleasant experience.

New ZealandA lovely well stocked, extremely clean and comfortable cosy cottage space. It has a stunning view. Heat pump heated the place up on a cold winter's night and we had a lovely reception from Teresa, who was a warm and considerate host. Wouldn't hesitate to book again and if we come back I'm sure we will.

AustraliaDidn't realise the property was in a suburban subdivision. From the photos it seemed like it would be more rural though the area was already semirural, quiet and pretty.
Great variety of foods. Lovely garden setting and outlook. Beautiful artwork. Friendly and helpful hosts. Trampoline!

New ZealandProbably one of the best places I've stayed at. You can tell the owner has designed this place with so much love. It's beautiful with lots of amazing art. Very comfy bed, quiet area, safe parking for car, friendly owner, great location, breakfast provided, place was clean. Probably the first place where reality is actually better than the pictures. The sofa bed is good too. I couldn't ask for a better place to end our holiday! Will definitely go again.
