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.).

Hong KongThere are some wear and tear, such as wobbly wooden chairs in the kitchen/dining area and weather sealing strip coming out of door frame. The glass door to the back garden needs a door stop, as It was blown shut by gust of wind.
This property is wonderfully restored with a modern touch. It is not too hard to find the key in the lock box. Nice to be able to park my car at the back garden, though it requires some skills to park a large 8-seater. A good option for family or friends gathering.

AustraliaThe property was a little hard to find in the dark at night. It would have been helpful if the house number 100 was illuminated, or if it was also numbered on the front gate so it would be more easily identifiable. It was also a bit difficult to find the lockbox in the dark to retrieve the key.
We loved the decor, overall aesthetics, and roominess of the house. We appreciated all the facilities and thoughtful amenities provided. The kitchen had all necessities, and it was so helpful to have a washer/dryer, iron, heated towel rack, coffee machine, etc.The location made it so easy to walk to the mall and Coles / Woolies. It was such a comfort and pleasure to stay in.

The house is beautiful and well stocked. The bottle of wine in the fridge was a lovely surprise.

AustraliaThe back sunroom needs a coffee table; we found ourselves sitting on the floor to share a charcuterie board in front of the cricket on tv. But it is a gorgeous polished concrete (heated) floor!
The styling! The attention to detail such as my favorite teas, feather pillows and quality linens.

United KingdomNothing. We should have booked for longer.
The property is beautifully renovated and presented with loads of character and plenty of amenities/comforts. Whilst we were only there for one night it provided us with a unique experience in a great part of Launceston. Good restaurants and cafes nearby. We plan to visit again for a longer stay.

AustraliaThe property is exquisitely decorated. It feels like you have stepped into the pages of a magazine. The towels are huge and thick (and warm if you put them on the heated towel rack for a few minutes). The bed is like falling into a pillow with luxurious linens which keep you so cozy. The kitchen is divine to cook in. The laundry has a new washing machine and dryer. The floors are heated in the cooler mornings. There is a lemon tree out the back and a peonie bush at the front. This is a really beautiful property and the owner is very attentive and helpful.

As a family hostel with basic living facilities, the location is easy to find.
