How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

- • Stayed 2 nights
This is a very minor detail and only mentioned because I value my sleep - the pillows were very flat and not up to the luxury standard of the rest of the room.
A beautiful place in a beautiful location. Peter and Georgia were excellent hosts, making sure we knew all the attractions and delights of the region. Our room was spacious and delightfully furnished with period details. The breakfast provisions were also excellent and much appreciated, particularly the homemade loaf of warm bread that greeted our arrival.

It was beautifully presented to suit the era of the property and Georgia and Peter were very helpful in letting us know all the things to do in and around Deloraine. The freshly baked bread on arrival and ample breakfast provisions was a real surprise and certainly not something many properties provide.

Georgia and Peter were wonderful hosts and the little extra additions they add into your stay make it very special and worth the stay. The furnishings were extraordinary and the beds very comfortable, we were able to visit quite a few destinations while there (with the information from Georgia) and found Deloraine to be a very nice country community.

Beautifully decorated and furnished (even in the bathroom!) in keeping with the historic background, but all the appliances etc were like new. It was originally built by an ex-convict but has been done up over the years - seemed like recent renovations too. Georgia and Peter were very hospitable and helpful - they even checked our arrival time so as to have freshly baked sourdough waiting for us! The included breakfast included a whole range of tasty things, and there was enough to cover lunch as well!

We were happy with everything.
The stay at Quamby Cottage was very comfortable with everything we needed for an independent stay. The hosts (Georgia and Peter) were particularly welcoming and helpful with the fresh bread and cheese board when we arrived a highlight. Beautiful views towards Quamby Bluff from the kitchen and bedroom windows. The accommodation is close enough to many hiking trails including Walls of Jerusalem and Cradle Mountain for day hikes. It was a good way to explore the surrounding region.
