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 ZealandNo complaints- very pleased with this place
One of the best: unobstructed view, spaciousness, modern, spotless, has a unique touch and functional. Picton is a sleepy little town in winter and this accommodation was the highlight of our 3 night trip. Louise was very prompt in responding to any queries and accommodative. Thanks for having us

AustraliaFound the dining chairs a bit hard and uncomfortable at times and the second bedroom wardrobe did need some drawers of shelves in it. We thought that maybe there were still a few finishing touches to be made. Very small points and would not stop us staying there again. We felt you really needed a car as it is a very steep road to the property.
We thought this property was exceptional. It was larger, newer and more well-appointed than we expected. Carpets, paintwork looked new, as did the renovations in the bathroom, kitchen and laundry. It felt like home for our 6 nights. We particularly loved the home theatre room with its comfy sofas and the gas fireplace with the look-alike logs in it. Kitchen was next level, even though we only made breakfast in it. The view of Picton and the Marlborough Sounds was next level, I doubt there was a better view anywhere in Picton.

New ZealandWe loved our stay at the house, provided one of the best views in Picton. It was located close to town, but far enough away to not be bothered by loud sounds or noises. We will definitely look into coming back here in the future.

United Arab EmiratesIt is worth noting that the drive/walk up to the property is quite steep if you want to walk in and out of town - whilst it was okay for me in my 20’s, my parents found it a bit challenging. There were also a fair few cobwebs around the property and insects due to the greenery outside. During the summer it was hot in the flat but we kept the windows open and there was a fan. Whilst the main bed was comfy, the spare bed dipped so you ended up rolling into the middle - the mattress likely needs flipping/changing.
Great property with fantastic views - very modern, with a beautiful finish. The fresh flowers upon arrival were a lovely touch. There is plenty of space for 4 people with 3 resting areas (sofa nook, living room and TV room). Great amount of storage if you were staying for a long period. The kitchen is also equipped with everything you need. Worth noting there is only one bathroom and toilet but there are separate so manageable for 4 people staying.
