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 shared common room is cold in winter I’m sure it would be lovely in summer though. Sadly the hot tub was out of action as was awaiting repair, that was one of my main reasons for rebooking here but the private bathroom and cosines of my bed made up for it 🙏💓🥰
Lovely and cosy room with close private access to my own bathroom/toilet, with a bath 🙏😊

Friendly hosts. We had a wing to ourselves which was lovely. Continental breakfast is also available for a very reasonable price. Great location for a day trip across the alps and easy access into Christchurch. Great food available in the village a few minutes drive away.

United StatesSee above
expected breakfast to be provided by the host as it is a Bed & Breakfast. However the kitchen was fully stocked with everything required to prepare meals. I was quite surprised that the room I booked was the only one that had a private bathroom. My room was at the end of a corridor along which there were three other rooms with one shared bath. Though guests were very quiet and respectful of their neighbors, it was a bit creepy that they were just outside my room going to and from the bathroom along the corridor. The best aspect of the 2 days I spent were engaging the hosts/owners in conversation. They are very warm and welcoming. They are GOOD people.

United KingdomBe aware that you might end up driving past the entrance way and need to turn and head back. That's what happened to me anyways. The property is on Google Maps (and, therefore on SatNav) but when you're travelling at 100 k.m.p.h. with cars bearing down behind you, you might find that you've driven past before you know it. Maybe the owners could add a large sign with the number of their property at the end of the road, next to the line of post boxes?
The decor in the room was lovely. Garden view with a separate WC and shower room. The bed was very comfy. The property is up a short driveway from the main road, so it's ideally located but lovely and quiet. I'm certain that the breakfast would have been lovely but I had to leave early to go back to the airport (less than 20 minutes away) which the owners were very understanding about.

For us, the Continental breakfast was more than ample. Fresh bread and croissants were delicious. Our whole stay at what was a stressful time for us was really relaxing. Newlands doesnt rate high enough. Thankyou for our experience.
