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.).

No insect screens.
The house is within walking distance of shops, restaurants and attractions. It’s quiet and private with very comfortable beds and plenty of linen. The bedrooms are of a generous size. The living room has a single sofa but another chair plus 4 dining chairs can easily be moved around. The separate shower at the end of the bath is excellent, as are the provided soaps/shampoo/conditioner.

Although it was summer and they'd had a very dry season it would be beautiful to have the gardens well kept. Holly had a gardener come and mow the lawns, he was not intrusive at all. My daughter and I loved sitting out side and watching the blue wrens, and other birds.
Cottage was very clean, a fully equipped house and completely self contained. Tea, coffee and sugar were of wonderful quality, there was laundry powder supplied, along with high quality bathroom products. The bedding is soo comfortable and high quality linen and towels with extra linen supplied if needed. The feel and comfort is beautiful, our family felt at home straight away.

A friendly suggestion rather than a complaint. Because there is no air conditioning (not really necessary in Tassie) it would be nice to be able open windows when it gets warm, especially at night. Fly screens on windows are a cost-effective way of allowing guests to open windows to get a breeze and not have to fight off insects.
Holly has gone to a great deal of trouble to make her home clean, welcoming and comfortable for guests. The house is spotlessly clean, bed linen is soft and comfortable, and basic cooking requirements are provided. We especially liked the clean water filter, and it was a lovely treat to have a bath as well as a shower. The garden is beautiful and well-tended, and Holly offered us lemons and apricots. We'd definitely stay here again.

Walking distance to pub, great fire, warm inside, clean, neat & tidy. Thoughtful kitchen items (not that we needed it, but lovely to see). Great layout.

Metal chairs and bedheads- uncomfortable and metal is unwelcoming. Doesn't work for many. More softness and inviting decor including more art work. Needs more than one sofa for say four guests. Please don't use fragrance wands as they are toxic and can trigger asthma attacks. Wandering hens were a nice touch as was welcome fire. So. Ditch the metal and maintain the softer ambience!

Unfortunately, I have chemical allergies and when I was seated on couch (comfortable) chemical vapours became stronger and stronger so I moved to the recycled table - that also exuded strong chemical odors so I placed the faux sheepskin chair halfway between both of previous items of furniture so at least I cld sit down. Unfortunately, that had also been chemically treated and I had to retreat to the bedroom. The 2nd day after arrival I tried to stay out of the cottage for the majority of the day and retreat to the bedroom when I returned. Frankly I was pleased to leave as I was very ill by then with severe breathing difficulties - a toss-up, home or hospital! Am still ill from the experience. Sorry
Bedrooms were clean and comfortable however sheets were too small for beds and came adrift easily. I liked the lounge area but seating was sparse at best and the neutral colour scheme was disappointing - only artwork was in toilet!

Contrary to the advice in Booking's email, breakfast was NOT available, Holly seemed to have been unaware of the request. Fortunately, we had our picnic basket. Going "out" for breakfast is definitely not my thing. I am too old for that.
