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 ZealandIt would have been nice to have some cleaning agents in the bathroom (considering it was shared with strangers), but we may be a bit more pedantic than most people, so not a biggie 😀.
Amazing location, beautiful views, friendly and helpful hosts! We enjoyed a lovely, restful 3 nights, like home away from home! Will definitely be back, thank you Gary and Eileen!

United KingdomThe view, the cleanliness, the hosts.
The property was just passed the Falls and off to the left up hill, over the road was the McLaren Falls Estate with the most fantastic woods, lakes, animal farm, glow worms and a wonderful cafe. The falls allowed for diving if you are brave.

New ZealandNothing at all on this trip, normally I would have had more coffee so a larger milk would be good, but had I wanted more, I have no doubt the lovely owner would have got some for me
Lovely comfy bed, owner was so helpful. I know where I'm staying whenever I am in tauranga.

New ZealandThe host was very generous. We had initially booked a room with twin beds, but the host later got in touch and informed us that due to renovations, the room with twin beds was no longer available and instead offered us two rooms. We accepted this change happily and had an awesome time. Thanks again for an amazing stay!.

United StatesFound out when we got there that we would be sharing a bathroom. I'd clicked 'private bathroom' at booking.com but for some reason, it didn't take Turned out fine. Only other lodger came in late and left early. We never saw him at all.
The view was unmatched.

New ZealandIf you’re looking for a nice place to stay away from the busy city this is perfect as Mclaren Park and the falls is super close too. Otherwise if you want to go in the city, you need to do a little bit of driving.
The Kingfisher room was just all what we needed for the weekend. The view was lovely. The bed was huge, and we enjoyed the spa pool. The kitchenette outside was very handy. It had all the basic things you need for a short stay. We had our privacy despite of having other people staying in the other rooms downstairs
