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.).

AustraliaPositioned at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the house is in a quiet area and only a few minutes drive from the centre of town. The bird-life in the morning was beautiful and there is a large sunny deck on both the back and front of the house to enjoy the peace and quiet. The photos really don't do it justice and the place was much larger than we thought. My four legged friend loved the large fully fenced yard to run around, and enjoyed sleeping near the fire-place on a cold winter night. The host welcomed us on arrival and provided all the firewood we needed for the weekend. Thank you David for your hospitality.

AustraliaHeating. Very cold house. Needs more insulation. Wood heater effective only after an hour. Does not heat whole house. Eco heaters inefficient. Minimal /no window treatments. Electric blankets unsuited for people with pacemaker. Needed much warmer/cosier bedding. Door locks not secure enough especially on sliders.
Self catering. Excellent but freezing cold kitchen very well equipped house. Could cater for family easily in warmer weather or with better heating. Location and privacy hood. Bit of a tired old house. Needs some TLC.

AustraliaThe major downside of this property is that there is only one bathroom and/or toilet. While access is available from the master bedroom AND from the hallway, the bottom line is there is still only the one facility. For older couples (we had 3 x couples with the youngest individual aged 60), personal space is a little compromised where the toilet is in the bathroom area. To be honest, this is the property’s only downside, but it is potentially a significant one. We booked the place with our eyes open.
David & Katrina were very obliging with the provision of oils and Chux super wipes that had run out prior to arrival. Good supply of cutlery, cooking utensils and glasses. 3-bedrooms fully furnished with comfortable lounge area and back verandah with barbeque.

AustraliaIf I had a bed to myself I think I would have had a great sleep. I had to share with my son and the bed is one where every movement the other person made I would feel a ripple effect. I woke up a few too many times to get a good nights rest BUT I was warm and this may not bother a heavy sleeper.
Ease of communication with host, short drive to town centre, very clean, fun selection of dvds, warm shower with continuous water heating, comfortable home with tea and coffee provided. Had everything we needed.
