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.).

Susi and Bruno are a super nice couple. Gave a very friendly and thorough welcome/check-in, and are very concerned about your wellbeing, wanting to provide the best possible experience. Susi shared a thorough and great itinerary upon request which was very helpful. Room is spacious and nice. Bathroom is also very nice and clean.

I will rave about this property to anyone who will listen as I only have good things to say. The hosts were amazing, easygoing, friendly, lovely, warm people; they made us feel at ease from the minute we walked through the door. They seem to also attract visitors of the same caliber, so we had a delightful time eating pies and chatting with other guests around the dining table. I'm not always a social person, but I was happy to be in their company. Every detail of the decor is artistic and tasteful; the rooms (and even the washrooms!) are beautifully furnished; the shared kitchen has everything you need; and the outside areas are peaceful and inviting. Susi and Bruno truly bring hospitality to another level, but it's also just the kind of people they are: nothing forced or fake, but they make their home yours as well. If we have the chance to come back, we'll bring all our friends and won't stay anywhere else. Oh - it's also very conveniently located; they have adorable little dogs; and make sure to get some time on their glorious front porch.

AustraliaWe should have stayed an extra night or two. (We went from Adelaide to Kangaroo Island over 3 days to break up the trip. Next time - straight to Dragonfly in one step. It's so much better.
Perfectly clean cottage. Nice kitchenette, good bathroom, and the hosts (also the owners) were fantastic: friendly, great tourist information.

New ZealandPerfect location, great facilities and amazing hosts. The studio has everything one could need; it is super comfortable, clean, and spacious, with thoughtful touches throughout. Susi went above and beyond to help us plan our stay on the island and gave us lots of tips, including where and how to spot the wildlife. The little dogs, Kimchi and Lucy, were just adorable and very welcoming. The location is unbeatable, in the heart of the town with all amenities a few steps away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much Susi for your hospitality!

AustraliaUnfortunately it was a bit noisy with the hallway, bathroom and rooms so close together and walls pretty thin. Doors probably need to adjusted so they slam shut. Plumbing needed work due to noisy pipes.
Very clean and lovely room.

Susie & Bruno were fabulous, over the top hosts who made us feel immediately at home in their very comfortable guest house. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting and “breaking bread” with the other guests from around the world. They included us in their meal even though we arrived late. We wish we could have stayed much longer to continue to experience their hospitality as well as take in even more of Kangaroo Island. I will tell all of my friends to seek them out!
