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.).

Beautiful spot! Has everything needed - kitchen provides all options to cook and prepare your own meals, fishing rods to go relax down the jetty. A true home away from home with a little extra peace and serenity. Lovely host checks in with anything you need only too happy to help with local advice of places to visit and explore on the island. Thanks so much for providing this beautiful accommodation!

AustraliaThe building is a glasshouse and it was hot. Whilst air-conditioning such a space in southern Tasmania is probably overkill, a few ceiling fans could be good.
The views from the back deck and living areas are wonderful. Friendly host (and equally friendly dog, well trained not to enter the unit) provided good directions. Many nice birds and some mammals seen on local walks. Though you must bring what you want to eat, this was made clear and a few items are provided.

AustraliaTry as I might I can’t think of a single thing that was missing. Ah I remember. No ladle for our soup but every other thing you need is there.
As soon as you walk down the corridor and see the view through the house you know you are in a special place. Wonderful place to unwind and enjoy the best of nature. We had no trouble filling in 3 days on Bruny. The bed was comfortable, the whole place shone, it was great to have the washer and dryer. Just make sure you bring in all your food. The nearest supermarket or cafe is a long way away. It’s a long drive if you run out of milk. Don’t forget anything you might need. Plan carefully. Rob, the host is dedicated to making your stay a success.

AustraliaNothing! It was perfect!!
A Slice of Paradise perfectly describes this accommodation. It was spotlessly clean, spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. The location was incredibly picturesque and peaceful. So much so that it was sad to leave after our six night stay! We saw a small pod of dolphins swim into the inlet in front of our accommodation and a seal playing just off the jetty at the end of the street.

AustraliaCan’t think a of a single thing.
Property was beautiful and well maintained. Very comfortable and the window walls with double glazed windows allowed for a view with warmth or a nice breeze with the sliding doors. Had everything we needed for our 3 night stay. We had a lovely time here and Rob very accommodating, checking in to see if all was ok. And Olive was a very welcome visitor and just loved the attention

Canada9 am checkout is a bit too early, but Rob at least allowed us to leave at 9:30. Toilet area could use a night light.
Lovely as shown in the photos with all that glass and view of the water. High end kitchen fittings and extras in the pantry.
