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.).

AustraliaLove the view, comfortable bed, nice and quiet, sunny mornings on the deck, great kitchen. It was great for us as we like to be self-sufficient, so the relative distance from everything wasn't a problem.

AustraliaCommunication from hosting agents was one way with information about local activities, but no answers to my messages asking for further information about the house. The house was generally clean, but fan, behind beds and main bathroom floor needed work. We had to clean the fan in the main living area before we turned it on. Noise from bathrooms travels through thin walls.
Good view over garage and other houses to beautiful bay. The house itself was very sizable and well equipped with 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms (1 up and 1 down) washing machine, bbq, big balcony, washing machine, line for drying and plenty of off street parking. Emu bay is an excellent location, but shops about 15 minutes away.

AustraliaNo real negatives. The property was pretty much what we hoped for.
Great location with fantastic views. Very comfortable upstairs area with big veranda looking out over Emu Bay. Nice isolated and peaceful location still within an easy drive to Kingscote and the amenities you need. Very well presented and an excellent array of crockery, cutlery and pans etc.

AustraliaNothing but would recommend visitors bring an infra-red torch (NOT a white light) for viewing penguins with minimal impact or disturbance at night.
Stunning view of Emu Bay and long white beach. Kitchen and equipment very well stocked. Wildlife friendly - koalas and echidnas seen regularly very nearby. Quiet apart from the evening penguin chorus which is a bonus. Very few street lights so night sky stars amazing.

AustraliaAs we like to leave the property in a clean state, we stripped the bed of linen. Found the mattress protector to have several stains that appeared to have not been laundered from previous guests. My question now is. Is all the bed linen changed in between guests?
Loved the living area. Would be perfect for larger groups of guests. Great tv reception, internet available as well. Outdoor area great, large and plenty of seating. Kitchen and appliances clean. Bathrooms clean, good laundry facilities The view was lovely, spotted a pod of dolphins.

Hong Kong- 2 bathrooms are not quite enough for a large group, need to queue to use the toilets. - there is only a washer, that will be better if there could be a dryer - we found a big cockroach and a spider in the living room downstairs
- The location of the property is great, just walking distance to the beach and pier. If you would like to join the tour for swimming with dolphins, that will be super convenient, since the tour will departure from the Emu Bay pier. And Emu Bay Beach is great to chill out for a whole late afternoon. - The communication with with property manager is very easy, she also offer the discount for booking the Sealink tickets. - The water temperature for taking show is perfect, easy to adjust. - Kitchen is well equipped and enough chairs for a big group of people. The sofa and arm chairs in the big living room are very comfy. - 4 bedrooms + 2 single beds in the downstairs living room could accommodate a large group of people.

AustraliaThe stairs were an issue to us older people and also no dryer only a washing machine. The big trees in the front neighbours house spoiled the full on view. The BBQ being downstairs.....may have been better suited upstairs.
It was a pleasure to share this family's holiday home. The views were great and it was a lovely quiet location.
