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.).

AustraliaI thought I would have more of a beach view from my room and maybe a bigger outdoor seating area but considering I spent my time physically at the beach it didn't matter in the end.
I loved the private access to the beach! The room was spacious and comfortable.

AustraliaWe had no issues or complaints with the lodgings or the services.
Located 50 meters from the beach along a single lane driveway, after driving past grazing cows on the left and flowering plants on the right. If the weather had been better we would have spent more time at the beach, but being kept indoors wasn't an issue due to the comfortable lodgings.

AustraliaThe windows were very dirty on the outside. Made for a blurry visual to see through the windows. It would be nice if there was more privacy whilst out on the verandah. We could see the other guests who stayed in other building clearly on their verandah. There is potential to easily block the view without taking away from the scenic views.
I liked everything about this property. It had a little of everything which was great. Easy to find, great beach location and so peaceful. Very comfy indeed. Beautiful wildlife and even a friendly visit from a cheeky fox :D The rocks were fun to explore and lots of shells to view. The locals were very friendly and the township was very accommoditing with a vast variety of entertainment and food.

AustraliaI did not realise (my fault) that I was booking a one-bedroom studio (Cabana). But it all worked out fine and we had a great stay at Port Fairy.
The room was spacious and had all the facilities, plus a coffee plunger and hair-dryer. It was so close the beach and there was heaps of room for parking our car. Graeme was an exceptional host.

AustraliaWould have liked more comfortable couches to snuggle into, especially as it is getting colder. The leather must be freezing to sit on in winter.

AustraliaNo TV in the bedroom This was important for our stay as it was cold and this would have allowed us to cuddle up in bed and watch some TV entertainment. Plus the aircon in the living/ dining room was not quite enough to warm the rest of the cottage particularly the bed room. Although these are worth mentioning as possible improvement of the cottage it is still worth staying and we considered it as very good.
Location. Relaxing and quiet. Close to Pt Fairy.

AustraliaWasn’t keen on the double burner for cooking, it took an hour to boil water in a small pan (yes we used it correctly). If we return I would bring my own electric frypan and/or slow cooker.
Location - loved the quiet beach, mostly had it to ourselves. The owner was very responsive to any issues. The bed was very comfortable and the outdoor area private.
