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 only difficult part of the stay is needing to leave for meals. Although this is only a 10 minute drive to Berry, which has everything you need.
My Hay Retreat is a serene property on top of a mountain with a gorgeous view of Berry below. We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed the peace and quiet on our balcony, swimming in the incredible pool, playing giant chess and swinging on a hill that feels like you’re flying out over the valley. I highly recommend this place for a peaceful stay. We also booked in massages which took place in our room and was the best massage I ever had!

The most beautiful place to stay in on the hillside. Perfect self contained unit, breathtaking view, cloud soft bed. Booked for my partners birthday and couldn’t have picked a better spot. Just a stones throw from berry. Perfect indoor pool, and grounds to walk round. Total 10/10.

A fantastic retreat and an ideal location for couples to enjoy a little peaceful and relaxing time together. Our room was both very spacious and luxurious, including a huge bathroom with underfloor heating, very comfortable king size beds, 2 great places to relax and chat (1 inside and the other an outdoor verandah). Spectacular views from all areas through huge glass doors and windows that cover all of the east facing wall . Outside the gardens are well established and maintained attracting a wide range of birds and animals. The hosts were very welcoming and helpful which was much appreciated

AustraliaWas not anyone’s fault and it was mentioned beforehand but due to the recent heavy rain, quite a few potholes on the drive up on the private road. However, my understanding is it’s a very temporary situation.
Stunning views, heated and sizeable pool, privacy and host was very attentive. Berry Village very close by with lots of charming cafes, restaurants, shops and nature sightseeing, if one was inclined to do so.

AustraliaNot a single thing!
Luckily we travelled in a 4WD as the road up to the retreat is quite steep and ruff in places. It's both bitumen and gravel. However all that is forgotten once you reach the top. It truely was like the rest of the world didn't exist. Calm just settled over you. We own a small property out of town so it's not even the fact we were out of town, we are use to that. I can't describe it as anything else other than calm. The view was intoxicating. Due to the privacy out there we could leave the blinds open and the massive windows were like our own private view of the landscape. From the sun rising to the storms rolling in, the rain on the tin roof to the songs of frogs at night, it just took you to another place. The last night of our stay, after a nice hot shower, we wrapped ourselves in the robes supplied and lay out on the lounges on our verandah watching the lightening put on a mesmerising show across the sky. The calm of Mt Hay Retreat has already got me thinking about our next stay. And the pool & spa.... sigh!
