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.).

Jeff was very welcoming and helpful upon arrival, even providing options for dining out for the evening meal. While the apartment is above their home, there is minimal noise, everything was clean and comfortable, and the views were stunning. Great night's sleep.

New ZealandI liked everything, I just couldn't work out how to work the tv properly haha
Loved the view, and the house was amazing such a relaxing place to stay. I have never felt so relaxed and calm in an apartment. Loved the extras added like electric blankets and slippers for after a shower. Loved it so much that one night was long enough and have booked in again for the following weekend. It's truly hard to explain how beautiful, amazing and tidy this apartment is. The owners were also amazing and let us have a later check out time

United KingdomParking is a little tricky but then we did have a Ford Ranger Wildtrack! Note there are two flights of stairs to the property but worth it.
Location was perfect. We used to live in Maraetai and wanted to finish our NZ adventure there with the view we had. Apartment is spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The perfect finale.

New ZealandOh, I do not know where to start. I was so overwhelmed by the beauty of the location. When I finally made it to the property I was in heaven. The pictures DO NOT DO JUSTICE. Soothing colour palettes used all around the house. Amazing, minimalistic, and so tasteful. The blinds are so cool, I have not seen these styles before, if I ever own a house one day, I am definitely going to get blinds like these. I did not know if I wanted to go for a walk along the beach because I was just busy admiring the apartment too much. I even ended up in the toilet mid night, thinking ah I forgot to turn the lights on, and there it was lights right next to my head on the wall, it's so well made and thoughtfully put together. Now that I have stopped gushing about the apartment, the hosts are so lovely. I managed to also get a splinter in my foot. messaged them if I could borrow some tweezers (very typical of me, I have at least 1.5 pounds of toiletries I was carrying but not a single tweezer) I was thinking it was a bit too much to expect when it's a weekend and people have their own schedule. The hostess came by, with a savlon solution, needles, tweezers and a foot spa!! Thank you so much for having me I am surely going to be a regular, so watch out if most of the weekends are booked out.
