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.).

It was so comfortable with amazing hosts. You could not get a more central position to go to Blenheim, Picton, Marlborough Sound or anywhere for the wineries on the “Golden Mile”. A picturesque cottage with gorgeous scenery right in the middle of vineyards.

CanadaEverything was perfect!
This guest house is perfection if you wish to stay for some days in the Marlborough wine region! It is very well equipped, and feels really cosy and comfortable. It is also perfectly located if you want to visit some of the vineyards that are close by. We would not hesitate to come back.

United StatesWe had a very hard time finding it, because there is no sign on the road. Look for the address on the mailbox.
Liz was an exceptional host! Friendly, accommodating, and generous. She and Bob gave us apples from their trees. It was interesting to see the way the grapes from their vineyard were harvested, although the trucks were a bit loud and started early. Nothing that our hosts could have helped on that, though. Location was fabulous. Although it was quite a way outside of Blenheim town, it was very close to so many wineries. Beautiful, modern cottage, extremely well equipped kitchen and lovely decor. We couldn't have asked for a better stay!

United KingdomWe had to leave this lovely place at the end of our stay!!
Arriving at the cottage felt like arriving home after our trip down the North Island. We had a warm welcome from Liz and everything we needed was provided inside. The cottage is nestled in the vines of the Marlborough Region with lovely views from the outside patio. We wish we'd booked longer and didnt want to leave. Ideal location to visit the Cellar Door wine tasting experiences on foot. Very useful washing machine and washing line!

IrelandI'm lost for words here. I'm trying to constructively think of something that could be improved.. but honestly, nothing. This cottage blew me and my fiance away from them moment we got dropped off at the entrance.
So much. Everything. Beyond expectations and hopes! Every detail is exceptional and this is clearly loved, cared for and respected. Please read on, but just book this place, you've finished your search here. Firstly, this is a cottage literally on the vineyard, you walk down a vine lined driveway to this beautiful cottage off the main road. It's far enough that all you can hear is the many birds singing during the day! The place is immaculate, I cannot stress this enough, I had to double check to see how far the reviews went back, because this cottage looked brand new. It was stunning! The kitchen had all the cutlery and cooking equipment you need, a full sized fridge, the tap water is UV filtered so it was really nice to drink from. Theres a dishwasher and washing machine. The air conditioning unit works quickly and is powerful! The carpet is plush and throughout it feels brand new. The bathroom was spotless and large, the shower is huge! has a large shower head, with a lot of water pressure and a towel warmer! The switches are even labelled, again attention to detail and cared for! There are bath towels, hand towels and face cloths provided and also feel new!! The bedroom, it has lots of room, two wardrobes, a long mirror, ample plugs throughout. The bed is the best bit, its firm and so so comfortable with two pillows on each side. It's a king size bed which is an added bonus. The owners are phenomenal, like none I've ever met, happy to help and communicate prior to arrival, helped to book our train transfer and taxi back out again after our stay, we felt that we could ask them at any point for help and they'd help! We booked a wine tour through them too, Jade Tours, it was the highlight of our trip in Blenheim. The tour is not to be missed! Their recommendations are transparent and genuine. The best bit, the garden.
