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.).

We arrived on a wet rainy Saturday afternoon & the hosts had very kindly lit the fire, so we entered a lovely warm cabin, also to our surprise they had laid out in & left in the fridge a lovely cheese & crackers plater, also some fresh eggs for cooking up for breakfast. We really enjoyed the nice quiet surroundings & the lovely cabin.

New ZealandAn absolute gem, we had high expectations after reading the reviews online and must admit even those were exceeded, from the platter, pre lit fire, jumbo sized bed and amazingly quiet location. This place is a must stay. Far better than a generic hotel room. We’ll be back for sure!

New ZealandSetting and cottage were wonderfully tranquil, was easy to relax here during our break away. Appreciated walking in the door to the cosy home from home touches from the warm fire, that had been lit prior to our arrival. The delicious plater, and the hosts own farm fresh eggs. We had a friendly welcome from Mike to let us know about the extra firewood, hotpool towels, etc. During our 2 night stay we had fun interactive visits from Dot the resident dog, and the chooks! All very charming. Bed was comfortable, and the bedding was beautiful. Kitchen had everything we needed, anything else can be easily bought in Hanmer's four square 5 mins away. We'd arrived with a downloaded movie on our phone, which we watched via the cottage's smart TV one evening. Free view TV available. Loved having no WIFI, nice grounding break away from it 😀

New ZealandThere was nothing not to like here although my partner would prefer some wifi.
Gorgeous super comforting cozy cottage in a peaceful location. We loved the wood burner which we cranked up on arrival as it was an unseasonably chilly night. The platter on arrival was a lovely touch and the bed was huge and comfortable. We had everything we needed including a super helpful host that even popped a load of washing through for us.

New ZealandThis was my second visit and just as amazing as I remembered. Very peaceful and love the country setting. Sitting on the deck watching the sheep, horses and chickens with a glass of wine was the perfect end to the day. Great place for a supremely comfortable and relaxing stay. As I was wanting a very relaxing break still trying to decide if the absence of Wifi was a blessing or a curse.
