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.).

AustraliaI loved this property, but on Booking.com the pictures nor the room description shows the kitchenette. It was a pleasant surprise, but if we had known ahead of time, we may have shopped differently. IGA in town fixed that.
It was a couple kms out of town so it was nice and quiet. The bed was very comfortable and the view off the deck was excellent. To our surprise, there was a kitchenette so we were able to cook a bit and keep things cool.

We were most impressed with the person who greeted us and was understanding of our need to cancel one night of our stay because of the death of a close family member. We were sorry we couldn't stay longer as we loved the pole cottage and the location. We didn't really get to use the facilities.

AustraliaLoved everything about Milkwood Lodge....just an idyllic location, set in the most exquisite gardens. We had a beautiful self contained cottage with theee most comfortable bed 😍. Vicki and Sharyn are such helpful and lovely hosts, nothing was too much trouble. We highly recommend Milkwood Lodge, we also took advantage of the deal with the RSL for Lodge guests to get a meal discount and had an awesome meal. Hope to come back soon and stay longer. 🥰🥰

AustraliaThere's not much to not like.
As soon as you walked through the door you felt at home. The owners couldn't do enough for you. Pointing out places of interest even allowing me to borrow their beat up toyota to visit the falls as mine couldn't go off road due to being a hire car. The cabins were great nestled in amongst the foliage. You were up close to the wildlife as well. The beds were super comfy, and the amenities in the cabin were great. They supplied everything from cutlery to cooktops. Should we come back again and we will. They have offered storage for our caravan when we do.
