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.).

AustraliaThe TV did not work well. Why include a TV if it will not receive a signal. No instructions were provided and it took a lot of pressing buttons to find a channel that worked and then when changing channels the same channel would not work when you came back to it. Also, the written instructions said to wash your dishes but the only sink was in the bathroom.
The view was fantastic, both during the day and the sky at night, once the clouds cleared. The bed was very comfy and the shower was hot, but it took a while to get hot water through. Instructions to get the key were very clear.

AustraliaThe room is not large, with only one chair to sit on. There was a bit of noise transferring from the other room. Our room ,3, was on the right which meant no one walked past out room but if you were in unit 1 or 2 the cars parked out the front and therefore you looked straight into those rooms.
It has a fantastic view and a nice outdoor sitting area. It is very modern and has on-site parking. Very clean. There are 3 units on site underneath the main house. For us, it was within walking distance of the main township, but we don't mind a walk; some might find it a bit too long to walk.

United KingdomLocation was great. But it was really just a hotel room in the ground floor of a house, not the motel style room with breakfast bar and more we had grown to expect in New Zealand.

ChinaThere were some small black flying insects but the owner said they just stayed there and wouldn't hurt anyone, that’s okay for us.
The view is amazing and warm. It's only a 3 minute drive from the center, but be aware that the navigation may give the wrong option the first time. When we had a problem they were very responsive and gave multiple options to help us out before we needed it! Be sure to give full marks!
