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.).
This service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

New ZealandAbsolutely Brilliant property in a great location. Barry did an excellent job of explaining the facilities on arrival. We were not expecting to have the use of a pool and spa pool. Everything was immaculate and nothing required was lacking. It is only a relatively short walk to the restaurants and facilities in town so it is an ideal spot for a stay in Picton.

AustraliaWe arrived wet and cold after walking the Queen Charlotte track. Barry met us as we were dropped off. An outside tap took care of our muddy boots etc and we used the washing machine to wash our hiking gear. We had purchased food to cook in the apartment as it was too wet to go back into Picton for dinner. If it hadn't been raining we could have easily walked. As it was still wet the next morning Barry drove us down to the ferry terminal to collect our hire car.

The owner is exceptional. Went out of his way to make us feel welcome and even gave us a lift back into town at check out time. Highly recommend this place. Thanks Barry!

This one of the most comfortable, generous and thoughtfully equipped and provided apartments in which we have stayed. The private pool is a bonus and brilliant. And a perfect host who welcomed us on arrival and drove us to the station on departure. This is a real 10/10 and great value.

IsraelFantastic place the home feeling! We loved it from the first moment. Very elegant, new, comfortable, welcoming apartment. There is everything we needed for stay. There are a lot of extras you would not expect in the short rent apartments. Unexpectedly we got luxury place! Unfortunately we had to go, but definitely will be happy to come back. Communication, check in/out was very fast. Perfect balance between value and price. Go for it!

New ZealandAbsolutely nothing to complain about. Only thing we felt uneasy about was the clenliness of this appartment made it near on impossible to come back with a curry or any such takeaway, just in case of spillage.
Faciliteis were fabulous. Best appartment/accommodation I have stayed in here in NZ.Pity it was just an overnight stay as it would have been great to use the spa and pool.

United KingdomThere was nothing about the property we disliked.
The property exceeded our expectations on every level. It was literally a home away from home with the added bonus of a private swimming pool and gym. Situated on the hillside about 10/15 minutes walk from Picton Town centre the appartment is in a small private quiet complex. It has everything you might reasonably expect in an apartment along with good quality furnishings and a full kitchen The host was a real gentleman. He picked us up from the railway station on our arrival and dropped us off at the ferry terminal when we left. All communications were responded to promptly.
