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.).

United KingdomA little dated. Step on the veranda broken it was a hazard. There was a musty smell throughout the cottage.
The location was fantastic. Exactly where we wanted to be. It was well equipped. The clematine tree was a lovely suprise.

AustraliaThe property smelt. The mattress was old and uncomfortable. The pillows were very old and needed replacing. The deck was rotting. The whole place was very old and uncared for.
The location was fabulous.

New ZealandNo BBQ as advertised! Perfect setting for evening BBQ. Umbrella unusable as base rusted and broken! No real shelter from the sun! Disappointing really as it wouldn’t require much financial outlay to rectify!

New ZealandCleanliness was poor, cook top dirty, inside drawers dirty, crumbs and dead insects under and around toaster, window sills dirty. Only one bedside lamp, no bulb in it, no occasional/coffee table, couch very grubby, covered it so that we could sit on it. Should be a heated towel rail in bathroom. Key to access barbeque in shed not in lockbox
There was no breakfast supplied. Location great

AustraliaThe cottage had most facilities for our stay , however is in need of some TLC / maintenance. Front step off deck was broken, many light globes needed replacing . The washing machine , while operating well leaks water all over the floor. And the lounge is stained and quite dirty when we stayed.
The cottage would be best described as rustic in a great location to Hot Water Beach. Given that we attended just after this part of NZ had just experienced a Cyclone and floods , it wasn't an ideal time to explore this region. We were told all roads were open to the Coromandel Peninsula , this was not the case at all. Many roads and facilities were all closed , which was disappointing. However, in better times , this is a great location to explore this part of the coast. Plenty of parking at the cottage.
