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.).

AustraliaProperty was easy to locate and was a good location. Key safe was easy to locate and easy to open. Grandkids loved the bunk beds - must have been really comfortable as the slept in - a rarity! Beds were comfortable and bedding was just right. The property manager was great - gave us plenty of information on what to see, where to eat, etc.

AustraliaThe property is very dated and in need of some serious maintenance, particularly the floor which is very uneven. Although the property is clean ‘on the surface’ the exhaust fan, door frames, windows, blinds etc are very grubby. The property would benefit from a major clean.
The house was within easy walking distance to restaurants, cafés and shops.

AustraliaThe property was due for a spring clean - there were biscuit pieces under the lounge From a previous occupant.
The property was reasonably well equipped. Whilst it was self contained we decided not to cook but there appeared to be everything we would need if we had de died to do so.

AustraliaHouse needs a bit of maintenance - the laminate edging on the kitchen floor is sharp and could be dangerous for a crawling baby, overgrown weeds on the side of the property. Only access is via stairs, which made it difficult to get the pram inside - this is not obvious from the listing/pictures. Would be good to have a couple of board games, also would be better to have handwash at every sink (eg laundry sink where the toilet is)
Very comfortable & clean. Well-equipped kitchen, could cook full meals easily. Great location in central Kingscote. Excellent water pressure. Great TV with Netflix etc subscriptions.

AustraliaI think the hot water supply can be improved. We are a group of 8 which includes 4 kids who loves to shower. It wouldn't be nice for the last person to shower to know that the hot water supply suddenly ran off (especially during spring). I have to endure rinsing myself with cold water after a day trip to the sand dunes. I think the welcome note should also include a precaution to conserve hot water as it only has certain liters to use.
Location is good as well as all amenities. We love the couch and the ambience. The house has a "homey" feel to it. 😊

AustraliaWeeds and grass in backyard was at knee height when we arrived, and the owner’s Ute was parked in the backyard. The BBQ had no gas. The house was too small for the number of beds. Not even lounge space, or even enough chairs or space at the table for the number of people the house supposedly accommodates. One bathroom and toilet for 8 people is inadequate.
Clean sheets and towels. Christine was lovely, helpful and responsive.
