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.).

AustraliaThe sheets were clean but they were so crinkly I was worried that they weren't clean. The bed and couch were a bit tired and again didn't feel as clean as they should be. Everything else was very clean though.
The location was perfect as we were wanting to be close to the You Yangs National Park. It was also quiet, and 3mins from Lara for supermarket/food etc. The bathroom was lovely, great big bath and large separate shower. We enjoyed a movie on Netflix, and the aircon worked well (it was a really hot day). It was a relaxing quiet place to stay.

AustraliaThe mozzies in the room and it’s very pricey. No bus stops close by, so it was a long walk to the nearest bus stop, if going to the shops.
The location of the property being off a main road, and seeing the horses next door in the paddock.

AustraliaIf there could be some disposable soap bars that would be helpful. Also beds in our cabin were not very clean, we do appreciate the owner came and provided us the substitute bed sheets but unfortunately I still found insects bites on my back the next day.
The owner is very quick response to all communications and requests. We arrived late and found everything well organized, warm room and soft couch also with smart TV. The cabin is private with plenty space outside for each tenant to enjoy the peaceful night watching the silver river. We actually didn't found any mountain view but excited for animal view, my kids were really enjoyed the stay. Thank you!

AustraliaWe found for ourselves that our cottage we stayed in needs a bit of a birthday. There was only 1 chair at the dining room table? Some attention needed to the curtains & rods in the lounge room, not user friendly?
The location suited us well, it was lovely and a quiet place to stay, would stay again. Plenty of spacious parking.

AustraliaThe only issue was the height of the bed, it was pretty low. Not normally a problem but with my bad knees it was difficult to get out of bed.
The host was courteous and responded to our emails promptly. The accomodation was clean and well presented, and catered for 2 families in 2 cabins next to each other. Quiet location.
