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.).

AustraliaUnfortunately we had a noisy extended family staying in the next door apartment.
The room was very comfortable with quality fittings and utensils. The shower was excellent and so was the WiFi. The owner was very responsive to our complaint about the noise of the neighbours.

AustraliaWorkers staying in aprt next door blocking driveway (suggest not to combine holiday booking with tradies staying, early/ noisy risers!). Perhaps not important to some....but nowhere to sit, enjoy sun outside!
Location is very good, if one wants to be in/ near town! Size and comfort of the apartment!

AustraliaNo view or lookout, feels a bit claustrophobic, especially when in such a nature-based destination. There is an outdoor area as shown in photos but you're within arms reach of cars, gravel driveway and colourbond fencing, so not particularly atmospheric. It's not a typical location for a holiday apartment, and they've done well with the location, but I found the price high considering these things; there are plenty of other places available for less $ which offer more benefits of views and some outdoor space.
Instructions for getting there were great, and the key code was perfect, no key to worry about. Apartment was spacious and clean. I don't think anyone was in the second apartment during our stay, so it was very quiet. Toaster didn't work, but before we could even contact anyone, a new toaster turned up on our doorstep, apparently the previous tenants had passed on the message and the response was quick! Beds were very comfortable and the shower was amazing! Lots of thought had gone into little things, like lots of dvds for kids and adults, books to read, games to play. Also some basics were in the fridge, like longlife milk, butter and tomato sauce, plus some herbs and salt and pepper in the cupboard. The second drinks fridge is a great touch, too!

AustraliaHaving read the two pages of ‘humour’ on ‘after reading people’s reviews and hearing their complaints’ in the ‘Information booklet’ I felt uncomfortable. But with my humour intact and tongue in cheek: light switches weren’t located intuitively, the wine rack was empty, the plants were plastic. Oh, and did I mention no view? But as laboured on in the ‘response to feedback’ that was indicated in the information! I was also left feeling uncomfortable when at 10:05am on the day we were departing someone drove up and parked within 1 meter of our car and just sat in their car. But I suppose we should have left at 10:00 not 10:15am.
Well laid out; location in the centre of town

New ZealandSlightly musky smell but fine if open windows for a bit. The toilet sometimes keeps running water for a while after flushing. Note no dishwasher and the owners don’t want to put one in. it’s fine, just something people booking should be aware of as you have to clean your dishes before you leave.
Short walk to Kingscote restaurants and cafes. Kingscote is a great place to stay on the Island. Shower is great. Stayed in One Bedroom (Kernel) and there is a two bedroom right beside.

AustraliaIt was advertised as having three bedrooms however it only had two, with two beds in the second bedroom. Having three bedrooms was one of the reasons we booked it, so that was bit disappointing. The toaster was also partly broken, but other than that it was a great stay!
Location is nice and central in Kingscote, but down a long driveway so off the road and nice and quiet. The property has lots of amenities (including great cooking facilities), a lovely big accessible bathroom, and very comfortable beds.
