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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

South KoreaSo equipped. This home has everything you need: from spices to board games and beach toys. It feels like you are at your own home. Also very kids friendly. Ive been to a lot of airbnbs and you see some of them are very "commercial" but this one is really "home" with clean bedding. Definitely recommend

AustraliaThe only thing I would say is being on the front road the bindes in the lounge are just the see though ones, It would have been nice if they had a cover that went over them but thats no biggy just a thought,
The house was really easy to find, A big double garage to put the car into, I lovely spa out the back that you can use, It was fully stocked with all the stuff you need for cooking and even serving platters, A coffee machine for those that like that, We loved the Yummy cakes that you left us.

New ZealandIt did have a smell in the garage, but that wasn’t a concern at all. I just thot I’d note it down just for a heads up for future guest.
Everything, the rooms, bathroom, dining, the lounge everything was spacious the tv beautiful, we enjoy every moment, the house was beautiful, it was a ten out of ten for us all. The main thing the kids had fun and didn’t want to leave, we actually sat as a family and we haven’t had that for a long time, this place is spectacular, the house, the area beautiful. Thanks Steve

New ZealandNothing. Everything was perfect and that is coming from four fussy females.
There was a welcome board at the entrance with our name on it. Gluten free friends in the fridge on arrival to share.Steve was a very helpful and accomadating host (he briefly introduced himself then left). Beds were comfortable, air con and heating was plentiful, we had everything a home should have and more. Amazing stay, probably won't look around next time in Tauranga, will just book here again if available. Very good value for money.
