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 StatesThe first room they put us in, was quite dirty, with trash on the floor, food remains on the furniture, mold in the washing machine and a distinct smell. We would not have stayed if they had not moved our room. The second room was much better and clearly had been updated, although it was still a little on the dirty side, and the washing machine did not work.
Very friendly staff, doing a good job trying to handle the maintenance and housekeeping issues. Good central location. Large space.

United KingdomThere was nothing we didn't like or was disappointing about Peppers. It surpassed our expectations.
We were in Peppers Blue Water Resort in April 2024. The room was bright and airy, warm at night which you need in April, with fabulous views over the lake. It had cooking facilities although the restaurant was really good and the staff very helpful. Its in a great location, 3 minute walk from the lake and other restaurants and amenities.

New ZealandWe were disappointed there was no TV controller so we were unable to control things like TV volume and access the Smart TV functions like Netflix and TVNZ+. There was a Sky controller but this had the volume control at full so could not adjust the sound up. We phoned housekeeping and they said everything could be controlled through the Sky controller. We have been watching a series and had to watch rubbish on Sky. We were unable to work the wall heat pump remote to heat the room. It seem to only want to cool the room. There were no instructions obvious. It was -1 degree in the morning and we were uncomfortably cold getting up.
It was good to be able to get an early check in

1. Location is good. 2. Very close to supermarket. 3. We booked the room face to the lake, it is pretty. 4. Have full kitchen, easy for cooking.

AustraliaIt would have been good to have a toilet upstairs as the bathroom and bedrooms were on the lower level . It was a bit difficult to manage large suitcases to your room as gravel path with red tussock plants restricting access .
lovely big room upstairs with great appliances if you wanted to cook meals . lovely views and quiet although major road at front of property.
