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.).

AustraliaVery comfortable, spotlessly clean, well appointed cottage with everything you need. The owner generously provided breakfast ingredients, pantry items, and lots of little extras which were well thought out and very much appreciated. The cottage is also in a quiet location only 5 minutes drive from town. Great place to stay.

AustraliaThe shower is a little difficult to manipulate, especially if washing your hair.. Contact with you was quite difficult. Your message is a little unprofessional and return contact also unprofessional. We will see you again in July.
The quietness and available facilities. You have supplied everything and more needed. Thank you.

AustraliaSam made huge efforts to go above and beyond in thinking through all eventualities and making sure she provided it. My son forgot his toothbrush, there was a spare one there. There were plenty of toiletries provided as well as beautiful fresh provisions to make a really lovely family breakfast (coffee, bread, butter, jams, eggs). This felt like more than a comfortable stay, it was generous and we felt a bit spoilt. Would definitely return. As there was no-one staying after us we were also afforded lots of flexibility with regard to our checkout time.

AustraliaSuch is the attention to detail in creating this holiday haven, that we could not identify any missing item.
The range of complementary essential food and drink items on our arrival at Honey Fig Cottage Bowral was more than we could possibly have imagined and made us feel most welcome. All cooking, laundry, bathroom, communication systems, games and facilities were of such high quality and immaculately clean. We lacked for nothing whether it was for a short or long stay. It was obvious that considerable thought has been invested in developing this venue into a perfect retreat and home away from home.

AustraliaA very minor point: I would have preferred a different style of bedside light - more like a desk lamp for a reader.
The cottage was immaculate and very thoughtfully designed, furnished and equipped. It was light and airy, modern and in excellent condition. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided and more: the kitchen was very well equipped and basics such as olive oil, butter, tea, coffee, sugar, Vegemite etc were supplied. The host provided two bottles of wine, bread , eggs and a packet of bacon for breakfast. The bathroom was supplied with soap, shampoo etc as well as useful items such as cotton buds and first aid and sewing kits. The TV came with streaming services which we didn’t have time to try. All in all an excellent base for exploring the region. I’d happily stay again and recommend to friends.

AustraliaNot much to complain about. Not walking distance to shops but happy to compromise on location due to how nice the home is! We stayed on a very hot day so would have been handy to have air cons in the bedrooms as we were travel with a baby. There is an air con unit in the living room.
Gorgeous property with everything you need. Breakfast supplies were provided which was appreciated.

AustraliaThe hot water completely stopped for a period of time while my son was showering, but then returned again after about 15mins. No other water systems were running. Wasn’t sure if it was because of next door? Otherwise we had a perfect stay.
Such a beautiful little property. Very well equipped property with all you need. Very grateful for the supplies to have a beautiful breakfast. Extremely clean, new and comfortable. Would highly recommend and would happily stay again.

The cottage exceeded all expectations, the place was stunning, clean and the host was amazing. We asked for early check in as we had a wedding to attend and the host made it work for us which we really appreciated. There were lots of little extras which were so amazing. Couldn’t recommend this place enough and we will certainly be back.

Honey Fig Cottage is a delight. Everything about it is high quality - the decor, furnishings and very generous provisions Sam left for us on arrival, including fresh flowers. Wow! It is super clean and has comfortable beds. Sam has anticipated the needs of her guests, even down to first aid and sewing kits. I highly recommend the cottage for a great stay.
