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.).

AustraliaGardening maintenance was really noisy for 2 days of the 7 day stay. Second bathroom needs a little bit of a reno.
The location is great. Just a short walk to all you need but not in a busy part of town. Full kitchen, living space & pool area are great, as is the reception staff. The price for the accommodation is reasonable.

New ZealandAs we are used to a king size bed we found the queen a little small and hard but not really a complaint as this is not uncommon.
The room was very spacious and clean. What made this place was the delightful staff. Lily the manager was very helpful and knowledgeable when we asked about travel around the area, recommending spots to stop at and places to eat. She certainly wanted us to enjoy our time there. Sarah the receptionist was also very welcoming and helpful booking us dinner out and recommending places to go locally. Both the ladies certainly made sure your stay in Cairns was a good one.

AustraliaIt is perhaps a little far north for party animals who want the CBD vibe, but that was fine by us! It is a bit of a trek to Coles or Woolies, though.
The instructions emailed to us were clear and we were easily able to retrieve the keys from the lock box. The apartment was more spacious than we expected. We were able to put our hired car in the underground car park. Dishwasher very quiet and unobtrusive. WiFi easy, fast, free.

AustraliaThe continual exhaust fan noise 24/7 from the ensuite bathroom, only 3 breakfast bowls and an uncomfortable lounge to watch a movie with a family of four. Needed some soft ottoman to put your feet up on. One cupboard near the lounge had not been looked in by the cleaner as it had a couple of wooden chopsticks and a coconut in it and was dusty.
Spacious and overlooking the esplanade. Great value for money and good to have a separate room for the kids and 2 bathrooms. Nice to have a view of the water and the downsides were minor. The sauna and spa were a bonus.
