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.).

The cottage was very cosy with the most amazing bathroom which looks out onto the beautiful garden. At night it was so quiet and tranquil. We loved sitting outside watching the kookaburras and kangaroos.

AustraliaThe only thing is there was no washing machine or dryer.
Peaceful haven with everything you need for a relaxing holiday. The deck looks out to a private vista, and the outdoor spa is a luxurious addition. Agnes, our host, was very hospitable. Would definitely return.

Great little cottage in a fantastic location, loved watching the wallabies and numerous birds in the garden. Agnes was very attentive and we loved the wine, snacks and breakfast food she left. The beautiful Dorrigo Park was a short drive away. Would definitely recommend.

AustraliaAs I am elderly I was a little nervous in the bathroom as there was no handle or bar to hold on to in the shower. But this was only because of my age. Anyone else would not have had a problem.
Breakfast and welcome drink and snacks. The layout was very elegant. The scenery and wildlife were a huge bonus.

AustraliaBe aware that cell phone coverage is a challenge. I could order out pizza by standing in the driveway. Internet was fine. For those of us with multiple electronic devices, it would be nice to have a power strip, given the limited number of direct outlets.
Beautiful cabin - remote enough to rejuvenate, but close enough to get quality pizza delivered to our door! Woke up to wallabies boxing in the yard and a red parrot watching us eat breakfast. Nicely sized rooms with good air conditioning. The breakfast hamper of eggs, bacon, juice, bread for toast allowed me to make hot, fresh breakfast each morning of our stay. On site DVDs were fun, and Netflix satisfied the need to 'veg out' after a long day. The night sky is amazing.

It was easy to love everything about the property! It is in a beautiful position, it is quiet and private and peaceful, it is stylish and comfortable. It has points of difference- like the outside spa bath and the full length window in the bathroom. It is a quirky, interesting and unique place to stay. The breakfast and provisions provided were very thoughtful and most welcome. Agnes was the best host I think we have come across in our travels! Afterglow Cottages is highly recommended!
