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.).

AustraliaNothing - all was good except maybe a rubbish bin in the bathroom would have been nice. Also a nice addition might be a toasted sandwich maker. But only nice to haves.
Studio was a short walk to a beautiful beach and easy access to Urunga. The studio was large and tastefully decorated. Great powerful shower and a very roomy bathroom. Bed was comfy. Lovely views from the balcony. Small breakfast provisions were a bonus.

United StatesThe mattress is memory foam which isn't a favorite of mine but my husband liked it.
The hosts were very accommodating about our arrival time, the "first breakfast" treats were tasty and appreciated, quick walk to the beach, the room itself was modern and serene. Loved the vibe and the many books on the shelf.

AustraliaThere was not a single element even remotely worthy of criticism.
The purpose-built studio was exceptionally well designed and attention to detail was impressive. Bedding and guest facilities are of the highest standard and it felt really private, even though the main dwelling is close by. The house and studio felt very secluded, with the easy access to Valla Beach below a bonus.

Australiaonly thing was the bed being too low to the ground and a bit hard.
We liked it was easy to find and off the main roads and close to where we needed to be. The complimentary teas were absolutely delicious, a nice change from boring black tea bags. Orange Juice/Cereal/Milk/Teas/Coffee provided. It was very quiet and relaxing. Local shops just down the road as was the beach. I had trouble understanding how to access the key, a quick phone call and it was sorted in seconds.

Drifted Away was in a perfect location for our 4 night stopover during the Xmas period. The room was spotless, beautifully decorated and fitted out. Perfect for our needs. The balcony overlooked a neat garden, and a reserve with paths that led straight to the beach, via woodlands. There are a couple of very nice cafes in town, a bus stop to take you North or South, and a Tavern, all about a 1km walk away. I've already recommended it to family and friends and would happily book again if needing accommodation in the area.

MongoliaThe most comfortable stay in our entire trip - felt like home. The hosts were super friendly, and the place was really beautiful. We woke up in the sound of birds and oceans, and it felt so relaxing for people from the city - like us. We found everything we needed in the place, and it was thoughtfully decorated and furnished to satisfy the guests. Bravo to Carl and Kate, and thank you very much for making our stay memorable.
