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.).

AustraliaCottage is not detached from homeowners home. Not a deal breaker though.
Location of the cottage was excellent. Local supermarket, cafes and public transport very close. Cottage was well maintained with comfortable furniture and all appliances you would need. Bathroom was beautifully appointed.

AustraliaPenzance Cottage is just a wonderful place to stay. It's totally self-contained. You enter via the road and it is detached from the host's main dwelling (which sits behind it). So you have a whole little cottage to yourself. Best value in Glenelg! We received a message shortly after booking with Peter and Helen's numbers, and they were very responsive on text as check-in approached and key handover was easy with Peter meeting us at the door. They're both lovely people, and Peter even has a quite large claim to fame (ask him what it is when you meet him)! We had complimentary home made cookies and jam to enjoy during our stay... which were so delicious that we had to buy more at the honesty box behind the cottage. It sits on a tree-lined street in a lovely residential area, with a close walk to cafes and pubs and a short drive (or medium walk) to Glenelg pier. Beds were comfy, bedrooms were well sized, the cottage is warm and well insulated, bathroom was tastefully finished and overall it just immediately felt like home for a few days. A perfect base of operations to return to and relax at the end of the day. If you need to stay in Glenelg, hopefully this review is the one that gives you peace of mind that Penzance Cottage is a spot you won't regret booking. Our group of three couldn't fault it.

AustraliaWouldn't have minded off street parking. BUT, not really an issue as it was a quiet street so no trouble parking.
Felt welcomed. Loved being able to say hello to the "hosts" as they lived next door. Very accommodating when plane was late with arranging for the key to be available. A little far but still walking distance of the waterfront and cafe. Grocery store and chemist just in the next street so very convenient.
