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.).

AustraliaEverything about the cottage was sensational, the secret attic was the cutest. The host herself was very kind, friendly and very generous in making our stay unforgettable. We will return to this lovely cottage and for a longer stay. Couldn't get enough of the natural beauty surroundings and its become our most favorite place in the beautiful dandenong ranges.

AustraliaThe mattress is firm which I preferred but may be an issue for some
We stayed in the forest cottage and it was so cute and exactly what we needed for our little getaway, it was nestled up the back of the property which made it feel even more secluded. All the photos from the website are pretty accurate and I’m sad I didn’t really take any of my own as the grounds are stunning. The spa in that room was the selling point for us and it did not let us down, we spent a lot of our time in there just admiring the beauty of our surroundings. We were greeted by Jessica when we arrived who was so friendly and accommodating, we were lucky enough to receive some treats she’d freshly baked and they were so tasty. She showed us around and gave us a few good places to visit as well as just a good conversation before she left us to enjoy. We truly felt looked after

AustraliaThat it took me longer than expected to get there due to Google giving either wrong directions, not knowing road closures and sometimes taking me the longer route.
I had a great stay at Arcadia. Absolutely stunning exterior and interrior, and I felt fully immersed in nature. The amenities were abundant, and hospitality exceptional. What a healing experience.

AustraliaThe stay at Arcadia Cottages was exceptional. Prior to us staying, storms unfortunately disrupted the gas lines connecting to the cottage we booked, and they were incredibly generous in offering one of the other cottages to us. The transparency & the alternative options provided were very well received & couldn't be happier with the level of service provided.

ColombiaChris was very friendly and responsive, however, I would've liked that he would've been there for Check-in because we were a little lost before setting up in the cottage. Other than that, everything was great.
I loved the facilities offered, especially the Spa from the Fernwood Cottage. The cabin was well-equipped with everything we needed for our one-night stay. Also, they provide you with a complete breakfast and snacks. Finally, the bed was very comfy and clean.
