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.).

Breakfast was very nice. The view was fantastic and helped create a lovely ambience. There was a real sense of luxury. We also thoroughly enjoyed dinner the previous night.

AustraliaBecause we are an ageing foursome we would have liked a second bathroom, but we managed all right. But really, because we appreciated our stay so much saying anything negative would be invidious.
Although away from a town, it was very well signposted. The view was superb. The catering was excellent. We dined at the villas' own restaurant that must have been the best for miles around and had a good wine list, and the breakfast was simply stunning. Very well trained staff.

AustraliaThe villas are comfortable but outdated and pretty dirty. Our windows were in desperate need of a clean and the bedroom and bathroom doors wouldn't shut. The lamp didn't work and the couch was gross. The accommodation needs deep cleaning and updating.
The view at Chris' is second to none - absolutely breathtaking, and the continental breakfast was a lovely surprise!

AustraliaThe stay could have been longer as it is a distance away from Melbourne. I think a planned stay of 2 nights would have been ideal.
Continental breakfast came with room and was a great surprise. Gave us a good start to the day. View from the room was amazing and we did see a koala in the trees!

United KingdomNothing at all.
These villas are absolutely amazing. A truly unique place to stay. Each villa has the most amazing view of the great ocean road, and comes out right into the trees. You feel like you’re tucked away in a forest, looking out onto the ocean. Staff were lovely, in particular Ian was very helpful. Dinner was brilliant, breakfast simple but lovely.
