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.).

AustraliaI would have liked a little more room to unpack my suitcase, a screen in the window, a shelf in the toilet/ shower, a brighter light in the room, torch supplied was a little faulty.
It was a fantastic location, surrounded by trees and beautiful NZ countryside, fresh air whistling through the pines, green everywhere you looked and secluded and secure. Warm welcome from the owner and her beautiful dog.

New ZealandNor so much didn't like, but an honest description of the private outdoor bathroom being pretty basic would have been appreciated, also highlighting there is no electricity. Normally wouldn't matter but we were staying for a function, luckily we prepared before our journey. Slept with the door open and loved seeing the sunrise in the morning, very tranquil setting.
Beautiful location, very peaceful if you want to chill out

New ZealandThe shape of the cabin made it difficult to walk around the side of the bed and an extra charging point on the other side would have been awesome
The cabin we had gave us a view of the mountains and their 2 horses grazing outside waiting for some tasty treats. It was so quiet and the bed was very comfy

New ZealandI wish I had booked directly through the website and not used 3rd party booking site. The website offers more in-depth information about each cabin and amenities as well as clearly stipulating there is no electricity in the cabin we booked.
The great communication from the hosts ensured easy checking in. The peace and quiet in the rural setting was just what we were looking for. The grounds housed a few cabins but we got to enjoy the place all to ourselves. It was close to Katikati township and also the Sapphire Thermal Springs which are great for a hot soak and short bush walks.

New ZealandThe only thing I was disappointed in was no hot water in the shower, I tried 17H30 the first night and at 05H00 in the morning, I tried late in the evening after 21H30 and again at 05H00. On each occasion, it was a military reminder 1 min shower, not something I wanted after 12+ hour day at work.
I did not get the chance to sample the breakfast as I was on the road by 05H30. The Tui birds sing was nice. The room I had was clean and tidy, the bed was ok, I slept well.

Australiashower wasn't really "hot" more like lukewarm water. not sure why. toilet was fine in the "out house". they even provide a torch for late night requirements. when we got there, we couldn't see the place from where we were supposed to park, perhaps more signage would help. also signage for the kitchen area as well.
great place to go to get a break from the rest of the world. unfortunately, during our stay it was raining, however the next morning we did get to enjoy the view. we did play a few games of checkers and guess who, followed by a round of "the game if. that was different and fun.
