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.).

AustraliaA bit of a heads-up on the bad conditions of the road would have been good (we have a 4WD but not everybody does). The design of the lock box is very poor (probably just old). You need tiny and well-synchronised fingers to open the box. Not suitable for everybody. Although the cabin was clean inside, it was unattended outside, to say the least: neither the outside ashtray nor the wheely bin had been emptied; the latter had been opened by creatures and there was garbage spread all over the garden - very unpleasant. We expected to have a bottle of wine upon arrival, as advertised; even after texting the host, we didn't get one. We also asked about Wi-Fi and they said they don't offer it; you might want to check your advertising on Booking.com then because there were a lot of things advertised that weren't there (coffee machine, dishwasher, wi-fi). Not that we needed any of this, but it is misleading. And it even says there is no parking! Also disappointing was the fact that there is a fireplace in the cabin and firewood is provided as well as a small jar with firestarters. There was only one left. We asked for more and they claimed they don't restock until the end of the long weekend. I guess we were lucky the soap was restocked. The amount of content in the emails received and the number of emails received before our trip was overwhelming. We were already receiving a lot from Booking.com. Maybe a good idea to review this. Despite our lovely time, these little things made us feel like we spent a small fortune for too many little disappointments.
Finding the property and the cabin was easy; the key was left in a lock box, which was a secure and straightforward system. The cabin was very comfortable and had everything you need for an easy and enjoyable stay. Inside, the place was impeccably clean. The quality of the bed linen and towels was fantastic. The cabins are all strategically placed throughout the property and surrounded by small trees and shrubs, which adds to the sense of privacy. It was very quiet, peaceful.

AustraliaFurnishing were a little older, but I think it added to the vibe of the villa, dirt local road surrounding accommodation (still suitable for smaller vehicles, but it was dry when we drove it)
So quiet, private (the landscaping made you feel like you were far away from the other villas), cozy, easy and faceless check in

AustraliaBracken Ridge villas is in a lovely quiet location close to all of the northern Hunter Valley wineries etc. The cottages are well spaced out and very comfortable with all you need, including a good kitchen etc if you wish to cater yourself. There were beds both upstairs in the loft and downstairs.The shower pressure was very good and hot. There is a small amount of unsealed road from Heritage Road, but we also chose to access the property from the Wine Country Drive side, which is less sealed but no problems and quicker to some locations. Judith was excellent to deal with and thanks to Judith and Chris for the lovely wine!

AustraliaThe aircon didn’t work but the staff came straight away and left us space heaters. we were not cold. The property is about a 20 minute drive from the main roundabout near the gardens if you don’t mind the drive.
The log fire had enough timber to keep us warm and was very easy to light. My bed and pillow was comfortable. The shower was hot.

We didn't have breakfast included, so can't comment. The location was a bit out of the way, but also made it quite peaceful. Really enjoyed the tranquility
