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.).

AustraliaNot that I didn't like but I was a little disappointed that they didn't use more locally produced products in the welcome package i.e the honey was from a supermarket
The location was great, there was plenty to see and do, the views were fantastic. The hospitality was second to none, fresh baked bread everyday. We enjoyed a great experience at the cellar door and was even encouraged to try a little of the viticulture experience. A glass of wine in front of the log burning fire, what more could you ask for...

United KingdomNo air-conditioning but the fans were good.
Easy to find, very quiet and so relaxing. No internet or TV (which was clearly stated) added to the relaxed feel. Spacious, clean, comfortable, well-equipped. Loved the freshly baked bread each day plus all the goodies in fridge. Very friendly managers, who gave an excellent wine tasting on arrival.

AustraliaTV reception not great. Locally controlled burning at night was a bit scary until we understood what was going on. Provision of outside hoses connected to working taps might have been reassuring.
Excellent cereal, fruit and yoghurt breakfast suited us fine. Freshly-cooked bread each day and extras as requested was amply supplied. Kitchen well-stocked. Microwave handy. Good lighting and electrical points. Great wine tasting bonus and we got to meet the actual wine-maker (Rod)! Local wildlife (kangaroos and wallabies) greeted us on arrival but were not annoying. Staff (Dave and wife) very cooperative and helpful. Welcomely, Dave cut extra wood for us for the cold night's indoor fireplace and showed us the cute local possum's digs. Handy drive to Girraween N.P. for walks.

The cottage was perfect for a surprise birthday getaway. Freshly baked bread both mornings was such a great surprise. And the convenience of a cellar door on the premises for some wine tasting 10/10. Thank you Lara and Juliane & Dennis.

AustraliaOur stay at the cottage was very relaxed. The setting was very picturesque overlooking the grape vines, a great vantage point for a thunderstorm that rolled through while we were there. Location was perfect, minutes away from more wineries and close to Girraween National Park. We thoroughly enjoyed the warm welcome featuring a bottle of wine and fresh baked bread, plus a friendly chat the next day at the cellar door. The cottage was spotless and everything was in good nick. We've already recommended Fergies Hill Cottage to friends and would happily return. The only downside was that our stay ended too soon.

SingaporeSome short dirt road to get to location, not any issue at all
Great views especially at night. Place is tastefully done up. Owners are at their shop less than 20meters away. Lovely freshly baked bread given for each day of stay with butter, jam, honey, yoghurt, etc in fridge. Kitchen has necessary for cooking. Hosts are friendly and help when requested. They even provided mosquito coil on second day when we made a request on the first day. A folder in room on activities that can be done in the area. They even set up fireplace for us.

AustraliaA delightful cottage with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms one with a spa bath as well as shower. Central kitchen and seating area was great for a get together and the front veranda overlooking the grapevines was lovely for relaxing and watching the birds and local kangaroos. The winery was just a short walk away which was very convenient. The smell of the fresh baked bread was a highlight every day. Loved the music playing when we walked in and watching the stars at night. A very tranquil setting.
