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.).

AustraliaI thoroughly enjoyed that this stay was more than just a place to sleep—it was a complete experience. It was my first time at a genuine bed and breakfast, and it was truly exceptional. The cottage brimmed with charm, adorned in an old English style that I adore. Denise's meticulous attention to detail is evident throughout, such as her thoughtful touch of covering the ceramic milk jar with fabric to keep it fresh and background jazz music playing as you enjoy the delicious continental breakfast. A real bonus was waking up in the morning, as I draw the curtains to see their dog Jesse and cat Louie basking outside in the sun and peering back at me with their innocent eyes. And the night before I also got the chance to see the beautiful sunset descending into the water. The conversations I had with Denise and Peter was also a highlight, hearing about their travels and how they built this cottage with their bare hands 26 years ago. I am deeply inspired by them and to me they exemplify a life that is well-lived. Definitely coming back here again for another stay in the near future!

AustraliaThe bedroom was very small and our suitcase did not fit on the stand provided. We prefer a Queen-sized bed.
This B&B is in a very pretty location with an abundance of birdlife. Denise & Peter are gracious and friendly hosts. The breakfast served was delicious with a good variety. The B&B is a 10 minute drive to the Bouddi National Park and gorgeous coastal walks in the area.

AustraliaNot a gripe, just a warning that Bluegum cottage is a family home. You have self contained bedroom,, bathroom section and then you occupy the the upper level of the house,while the hosts vacate to downstairs to give you privacy. I am not sure it is absolutely clear from the website, and you may be expecting a self contained cottage. For our purposes it was actually lovely to have contact with the hosts and benefit from their hospitality in a way that reminded me of the BNB's of old in England and France. But if you are looking for absolute seclusion and privacy it may not be for you.
Lovely comfortable BNB in the true old fashioned way. Amazing and elegant cooked breakfast provided with all the trimmings, in a sunlit room overlooking the water. And a warm and comfy bed. Denise even put out cocktail glasses and prepared ice so my sister and I could mix a cocktail to watch the Matilda's game.

AustraliaThere was nothing wrong or anything to complain about at the Blue Gum Cottage.
Peter and Denise were wonderful, friendly hosts.Their home has magnicent views and has a lovely deck were we enjoyed sitting and enjoying the birds, trees and the view of the bay. The cooked full breakfast provided every morning was out of this world. The table was beautifully set and we were served on beautiful fine china. I would recommend this B and B to anyone.

AustraliaThat our trip was so short! Honestly, our expectations were exceeded by the trip and there was nothing to fault
Peter and Denise were excellent hosts who took great care of us and were welcoming and courteous. The property had so much character and charm, and the breakfast was delicious. The room was comfortable and the Bathroom was large and clean. The outdoor deck showcased beautiful lake views and the pool looked very inviting (next time we will pack our bathers!) Additionally, I left my eye mask and the property and without prompting they found it and returned it to me via post. This is the kind of above and beyond service that Peter and Denise seem to pride themselves of giving. We hope to return soon!
