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.).

New ZealandThe map was not very clear on where to find my room - it was quite confusing.
The location was really close to the town centre which made it easy to walk rather than taking the car.

United KingdomAs noted above, check in was not as smooth, however that was promptly rectified. The suite we stayed in had an open wet shower with no curtains (therefore floors do get wet). Either put in shower curtains, or provide some additional towels for the floor. We did not stay long enough to try any other facilities on site, therefore cannot comment further.
We stayed one night at the property - we arrived at the Lake mid afternoon on a sunny day so decided to do some hiking around the areas before the sunset and then check-in. Checked in after dark in winter c6pm. The initial check-in experience was not the best as were were given the wrong room. Staff were prompt to remedy that and upgraded our stay to a lovely suite for the night. The room was adequate - bit outdated but sufficed our stay for the evening. Staff were all friendly, you can get takeaway coffee from the cafe downstairs for the morning if you are not the breakfast type. There is onsite parking which is really useful. The drawcard for the property is it's brilliant location and the amazing outlook to the beautiful lake. Overall, satisfied with out stay minus the little check-in hiccup.

Australia- I found a dirty dish brush with lots of hair in it. - They could have given us more dishwashing liquid and dishwasher tablets. - It’d be more convenient if they provide us with sponge to wash dishes.
+ It’s a very spacious unit with everything you need! (Washing machine, dishwasher, stovetop, sofa bed, TV, heaters, etc). The facilities are quite thorough :) + The location is very close to the gorecery shop and nearby restaurants. + The lake view unit is amazing! You can daydream in the morning gazing at the view while sipping up your tea or coffee.

New ZealandThe bedroom was cramped and lacked privacy. We couldn’t fit both suitcases in the room as the bed took up 90% of the space. We found ourselves constantly having to shuffle past one another to get to the bathroom.
Great location and a nice unit - warm and inviting with great kitchen and bathroom facilities and everything you need for a 3 day stay.
