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.).

AustraliaThat there was no breakfast option. Why not supply a breakfast hamper to those who choose that option? The ironing board is not very sturdy/too small and a bit dangerous as way too fragile - just get anormal sized one. It actually fell over when I was ironing! .

New ZealandThe queen size bed was a little hard for my husband, so he went and slept with the kids :) parking was a little lacking, we ended up having to park on the road.
It was an amazing stay, with all that we needed, and we would definitely stay here again! The unit was clean and tidy, and we were surprised with the amount of space. The children were able to space themselves out, yet not get in the way of anyone. Everything we needed (toaster, jug, coffee etc) was supplied, and everyone enjoyed their stay.

New ZealandIt could do with a slightly longer shower curtain in the bathoom. The short curtain combined with a wetroom set up and very excellent water pressure meant there was water everywhere. Not a deal breaker as I was alone, but could prove tricky if there's a queue for the bathroom :)
Easy access to town. Clean and certainly fine for a business trip or weekend away.

New ZealandThere wasn't anything to not like, we had a great unit. If there was anything for constructive criticism, it would be to perhaps have a ledge or glass so the water from the shower doesn't spread close to the toilet and also a back up stash of towels available please 😊
I loved the service from the owner. What an absolute pleasure it was to be greeted with warmth, positivity, and the greatest smile. The recommendations for restaurants were a win as well and very much appreciated. The room was also spacious and great. Loved the location, so close to all arterial routes. I took videos opposed to photos of the room, so I can't share them, but we were more than happy. We will definitely stay here again.
