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 Felt bad about opening and closing doors multiple times to access bathroom but it is the layout of the house so it’s understandable. It didn’t bother me but I was more concerned if I disturbed others.
Location, parking spot, clean, comfortable beds. Besides no tv in the bedroom, even though there was a lounge room with a tv, it was great.

AustraliaThe parking space is pretty limited and if you are not local you might accidentally park along the drive way where there is a time limit where you need to remove you car early in the morning otherwise it would be towed.
The property is easy to find, it is pretty easy to access as there were simple instructions given via SMS. It is pretty quiet, clean, and comfy feels like home. You have everything you need to stay for a day or two.

AustraliaThe weather was very cold for the season, and the room hadn't warmed up. The first couple of nights were very cold in our room. Once we told the owner, she remediated it and increased the heat for the last night.
Clean, value for money, and very responsive and helpful owner

AustraliaRoom was cold, there was no heater. The bathroom for the master suite was a bit clunky, the shared bathroom was better.
This is a house with four rooms, not a hotel. It was very clean and nicely decorated. Main bed was comfortable. Common areas (kitchen, living room) were comfortable and functional. Everything was labelled and clear.

AustraliaSharing 1 toilet and bathroom between 7 people not easy at times. If someone was having a shower no-one could access the toilet either.
No breakfast provided, needed to supply your own. No glasses supplied and minimal crockery. It was like living in a share house which we have never done before. It was very quiet and other three rooms of guests were considerate.

AustraliaThe bed being low, was difficult to stand up from, with it being so close to the wall in a small room. A standard height bed would have been preferable if possible. Pattern body towels were stored inside the wardrobe in the bedroom. I would suggest white body towels stacked in the shared bathroom or presented at the foot of the bed.
The location was within a 10-15min drive to CBD, shopping, etc. Reserved on-site parking was very convenient and comforting.

AustraliaBathroom doors were old and very noisy - even when opening them the quietest we possibly could we still got asked to be quiet by another resident. The locks are also loud and no matter what we did they were loud. We knew we were leaving early so we tried to be as quiet as we could but the doors, there was no way to be quiet about it.
Nicely decorated. Signs all over. Parking space provided.
