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.).

AustraliaPlease note the driveway is very steep so best to use a larger car. Not a reason to not stay, just to be aware!
This cottage is magic! If you are wanting to feel immersed in the forest, look no further. The fire place was beautiful with more than enough supplies. The kitchen was well equiped for cooking a meal, also breakfast hamper was a nice touch. Bathroom was very clean also. Extra points for the extensive DVD collection which felt like a trip back to the early 2000s. Can’t wait to visit again.

AustraliaThe King Bed had a Queen Doona on it, the mattress was collapsed on both sides so if you rolled over you fell out, totally unacceptable to expect people to sleep in it. there was only one teaspoon, all the cutlery was filthy. there was barely any firewood for the open fire. there was no normal black tea ( promoted as Tea and coffee supplied, there was 2 sachets of peppermint Tea and 2 sachets of chai tea. promoted as continental breakfast included on 1st day, there was a lovely loaf of bread but there was only 1 tiny sachet of Honey, 1 tiny sachet of Jam and 2 Vegemite for 2 people
The view from the bedroom was amazing. Emelia from Valley Ranges Getaways was amazing moving us to a more acceptable accomodation the following day after the issues we encountered, Highly recommend Valley Ranges Getaways but would not recommend Cottage in the Forest

AustraliaAs others have noted, the driveway is a problem. It is steep yes but there is a bit of concrete at the bottom we were spinning the tyres on our van on in the beginning. It’s all a bit perilous but we quickly learned to stick as far to the right as possible and to go as quickly as we could. It felt like a stress though perhaps smaller cars might be better suited to it? Also there was no laundry. i didn’t think to specifically look for one in the description originally (as I never have before) but perhaps this is on me.
We arrived a few days before our wedding and were very, very surprised and delighted to find a beautiful bunch of flowers and drinks and food waiting for us. Thank you for these thoughtful touches. We had a planned power outage on our first full day there and the owner came and set up a generator for us which we found amazingly helpful. The view from the main bedroom window is TO DIE FOR.

AustraliaGreat location, amazing views. Would maybe try again to see if it was cleaned better.
Nice little cottage, but was not very clean. Lots of dead bugs . Very very dusty and many surfaces not cleaned properly. Bed could be replaced. Beds that old there are indentations where people have been sleeping . Bit over priced taking these into consideration
