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 property is quiet and the huge window overlooks the pond. We sat on the comfy couch and watched the birds, water, sky and trees. The little deck is secluded and was perfect for drinks, star-watching, and breakfast. I loved the little touches... The breakfast supplies were generous and a lovely combination of yummy and healthy. The body care supplies smelled lovely. The place was incredibly clean. Nothing was broken or dinged up. The garden appears wild but I can tell that it is actually carefully designed and maintained by garden-lovers. We saw a wallaby, king parrot, kookaburra, pied cormorant, purple swamphen, blue wren, and lots of little birds. We didn't want to leave.

AustraliaMessmates is the one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed in. The property it’s breathtaking, the accomodation is beautiful and such a keen eye for detail is reflected throughout the entire suite - all the luxury’s that make a stay away all the more special. Chris and Jo were the most wonderful hosts, the food and breakfast was superb, the suite was impeccable, the views are divine. I can’t wait to stay again and will be back.

It's a beautiful wetland landscape and the owners are passionate about protecting the natural resources and wildlife which we respect. The small but meaningful measures taken were amazing, it really puts your mind at ease when you're in a different country. We arrived quite late but they waited up for us, the breakfasts were more than enough and we had everything we needed for a more than comfortable stay. I can't wait to return for another weekend of rest and visiting Inverloch and Phillip Island again. Thank you Chris and Jo, we hope to return again.

AustraliaNothing. Everything was fantastic. I would say you will need a car to get to places, but the hosts offer a complimentary pickup and drop off into the town!!!
EVERYTHING! The owners truly thought of what they wanted their guests to feel. Comfortable yet luxurious. From the welcome drink to the double bathtub, my weekend trip turned into a mini romantic trip. perfect place for a couple.

AustraliaEverything! This place is nothing less than amazing. The photos do NOT do this place justice. We were taken away as soon as we arrived and when we walked into our cabin we didn't want to leave. The owners are absolutely beautiful, they were so accommodating, welcoming and friendly. The communication prior to our arrival was outstanding, very caring and clear communication. We loved the location and appreciated the amount of effort and work that has gone into creating this majestic get away. It feels like you are hidden so far away from society but are infact literally minutes from the main Street. Quick drive to so many iconic places for beach stops and adventures. Loved that the owners supported local. The cabin was so clean and had lovely food available. The small kitchen had everything you could think of and or need. We were sad to leave. We WILL return here again, even if just to stay in the cabin and enjoy the view and bath for the entire stay. The bed was so comfortable. Even though there was another couple in the other cabin we did not hear a thing, extremely private place. Thank you so much Jo and Chris for creating this beautiful place and for being so warm and welcoming.

AustraliaWe really couldn't fault this place. If only the weather had behaved so we could have seen the stars and the auroras, but that is not something Messmates could deal with.
Everything about this place exceed our expectations. The property was stunning, including having heaps of wildlife around. The pond was really nice. Heaps of kookaburras and a couple of wallabies were spotted. Jo went out of her way even a few days before we even got there to see if we wanted to a pizza organised for dinner. Jo and Chris are a very nice couple great hosts. Upon arrival the guest book had all the details we needed. They even have a pillow menu, can hire beach towels and boogie boards if you want it for the beach. We worked remotely from Messmates for 2 days and even though Jo had warned me that we might have issues with NBN/WiFi but this was not an issue and my partner and I were both able to be on video calls at the same time.

AustraliaThe property is faultless. There is nothing not to like.
Everything! It was absolute heaven. Such a tranquil & private place with beautiful & accommodating hosts and the most amazing bed we’ve ever slept on. Everything was perfect and no comforts were overlooked. High quality linen and towels and an abundance of complimentary food. We felt like we were off the grid and the only two people on the property.
