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.).

Lovely cottage with old world charm, so very quiet and peaceful even though location very near to CBD. Rosie was an excellent hostess, making sure we had everything we needed and available if issues. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily stay again when next in Adelaide.

AustraliaYard was suitable for a small dog but not a large dog so utilised the entire shared area. Let the dogs roam in main area but my dog kept barking at next doors dog and couldnt leave dogs there either in case next door opened the entranceway which is shared. I didn't like leaving my car out in the street but it's a quiet area so probably safe enough.
Breakfast was a lovely touch having staples such as fresh bread and butter, milk with tea and coffee provisions, as well as cereal, chocolate, and juice. Cottage is beautiful and quite spacious and location is nice and quiet. Host was lovely and understanding when there was a payment mishap and having a parking permit is definitely handy for the 1hr street parking zone.

AustraliaThe location is advertised as up to 4 people but this was by using camp beds for the 2 kids which is sort of ok, but not clear enough. When booking I had not completed the ages of the children correctly on booking.com so we had to pay an extra $35 per child per night which made no sense as their needs were no different if they were 10 or 17, they still used 1 camp bed and 1 towel etc. So when you add up the cost for 4 ppl in 1 room with 2 on camp beds, it was very expensive for what we were getting. We had an issue with communication relating to tradespeople turing up early on the day we were checking out which accelerated the process for check out.
The location was good (next to St Peters) and we were able to walk to the park and city and Nth Adelaide and we were able to bring our dog. Off street parking is good with a permit to ensure you do not get any tickets.
