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.).

Fern and her Mum are great hosts. Warm and friendly and they are prepared to go the extra mile for you. Breakfast was generous and delicious. Jams and stewed fruits served with breakfast are all made on the premises. They allowed me to sit in their lounge until I had to go to check in for my ferry.

AustraliaThe room had no fridge and I had trouble with the wifi when the recommended one didn't seem to work. My greeting on arrival was a bit abrupt but after that the staff were friendly and helpful.
The room was fairly compact with no fridge. The property was centrally located in Picton close cafes, bars and restaurants and handy to the harbour, some walks and the passenger ship terminal. It was convenient for dropping off the hire car and walk on foot to embark on the trip to Wellington the next morning. Breakfast was adequate.

New ZealandGreat breakfasts with homemade jam for my toast and gluten-free options available. Great for me being coeliac. Lovely, friendly staff that were happy to have a chat and find out about my work trip, and clearly take pride in the accommodation they have to offer. Clean, tidy rooms, in a historical building (that you can read about in the books and leaflets available) with a well-maintained pool and grounds. Close to town, the ferries, and water taxis in Picton. Home away from home.

United StatesBright light outside our room at night. Blackout curtains would have been helpful.
Excellent location close to shops, restaurants and the ferry. Coral was very friendly and helpful with suggestions for walks and dinner suggestions. This is an historic building, not a purpose built hotel, so don't expect a huge room but ours was comfortable and all we needed. There was a light continental breakfast of cereal, toast, fruit and yogurt.

United StatesWi fi was spotty; was hit or miss at times. Breakfast. When I think of B&B, breakfast to me includes protein; i.e. eggs or some kind of meat or cheeses. Cereal, fruit and bread are fine but it's not a complete breakfast and for that reason I said the place didn't meet my expectations. Everything else was fine but breakfast IS important to me and I WILL pay for it; I just expect it to have protein.
The staff were great; very nice people. The place was very quiet and had everything I needed. Not overly big but is not overly important.

AustraliaWarm welcome from the operators of this quaint B&B, and super comfy bed. The room had most things you would expect for an overnight stay. It is not a 5* hotel, so don't expect a hot breakfast or amenities like iron and ironing board!
