How guest reviews work
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):
- Politically sensitive comments
- Promotional content
- Illegal activities
- Personal or sensitive information (e.g. emails, phone numbers or credit card info)
- Swear words, sexual references, hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, or references to violence
- Spam and fake content
- Animal cruelty
- Impersonation (e.g. if the writer is claiming to be someone else)
- Any violation of our review guidelines.
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.
Guidelines and standards for Reviews
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.).

There is no sink in the toilette room, so you have to go downstairs to wash your hands after you used the toilette and when somebody is taking a shower. That was the only downside of the property.
There is a pool and a spa, as well as a barbecue outside. Inside is a movie room, a pool table and a spacious kitchen. Parking is available in front of the building.

I am sharing my thoughts that I had, when I made the booking, for the purpose of reassuring you.......I was skeptical about sharing a bathroom and toilet with other guests, but it was not actually a problem at all. We were in an upstairs room, and had quite a lot of luggage (our problem), so carrying it all up stairs was not ideal, but this could not be avoided as downstairs rooms were booked out to a 21st birthday celebration party. We could not believe that there was no noise disturbance at all from the pool patio area. Parking is open to the road, and as we come from S.A. ,I was concerned about the safety of our borrowed car, and this was the reason for removing all our luggage too. The car was 100% safe, so no need to worry! Thanks to Kyle and Jodi for a great stay.
The "self serve" breakfast (fruit, yogurt, cereal, toast, juice and tea or coffee) was a pleasant, welcome surprise. The communal kitchen had more than adequate space to work in and the pool patio was a perfect place to enjoy the breakfast. Having a fridge & kettle in the room, was great too.

Maybe one of the rooms could be bigger, or could have a wider bed.

OMG, what a gem of a Home Stay!! I arrived late at night and Jodi came to greet me and showed me around the house. The room was all I needed, including a desk and a settee to put my case on. The house is fantastic. Jodi and Kyle are so organised, each suite has a place in the fridges, freezer and pantry to store their goodies! Breakfast consists of a choice of toast, yoghurt, different cereals, apple and orange juice, plus all the condiments. If you wish to make your own breakfast that is possible too. There is also an expresso coffee machine - yum! There is a delightful pool with a bar area, bar stools, large table with chairs, a beautiful new decking area and a spa. Inside there is also a cinema room with lots of movies, pool table, a library of books, and a gym. There is a washing machine and dryer there for your convenience at a slight cost. Jodie and Kyle also have bicycles that you can use. They have a many brochures available and will discuss with you where you want to go. Plenty of off road parking in front of the house.
