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 ZealandI wasn't aware it was on someone's property so that kind of threw me off, nevertheless that was no issue at all! Really appreciated the enviroment.
It was such a homely feel! Really enjoyed disconnecting from the world and just having downtime to chill out. ABSOLUTELY LOVED the outdoor kitchen area AND bath house! What a beautiful place :)

New ZealandMozzys :( may want to consider netting for windows. Left open during night and woke up to a thousand lil mozzys and i felt cruel for spraying them lol.
Friendly host welcomed us to the property. Enjoyed the off grid experience. Amazing natural products available for use, i regret not checking out the boutique. A real beauty to be able to wake up to such fresh air and singing birds, also heard a ruru (owl) during the night.

New ZealandI SO wanted to love this property, and I'd booked two nights with the aim of experiencing some time out with peace and quiet, which is increasingly difficult to find these days. I'd gone off reviews which talked about "tranquillity", "serenity" and how "magic" The kauri Tree Pod was. So I was totally unprepared for the noise: how ironic that, at an off-grid place, I should be bothered by the constant drone of a nearby electric fan motor. This noise permeated the entire compound, even the walls of the sleeping cabin. The grating sound cut through the bird song and wind in the leaves. The bath, with it's view of trees and ferns was divine, but I abandoned the idea of taking advantage of it as the backdrop of constant humming wouldn't enable me to enjoy it. My plan had been to chill out at the place but I ended up spending hours in the Levin township as a break. I'd paid a premium for being "away from it all" only to pay a lot of money to subject myself to sound that is a form of torture for me. Hence my deep disappointment.
Visually, the property was stunning and full of promise: green, natural surroundings, and a lot of care had been taken with creating the facilities. It is also not far from Levin - though felt a world away - and just up the road from the Greek Monastery which was definitely worth checking out.
