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.).

AustraliaNothing. This was one of my most amazing experiences in the Hunter Valley and it gave me everything and more for what I paid.
RidgeView is the epitome of calm and serenity. From the beautiful landscape surrounded by the vineyards, amazing wildlife and absolutely wonderful lodges, I had the most amazing stay. The 2 bedroom was the perfect place to relax and enjoy a weekend away. The restaurant served delicious and extremely well plated food. The chefs show their care and love in every bite. I was happily surprised considering the price we paid and I would book again in a heartbeat. It is nestled in the best side of the valley but close enough to all amenities and stores. 10/10 would recommend to everyone.

AustraliaI was put off by the discolouration of the water, which they explain results from the iron bark trees and is treated with a carbon filter. Even though I knew it was clean, the spa bath wasn't as inviting once filled with brown water. The toilet flush was also very weak and it took a few flushes to get 'it' to disappear. There were a couple of little things that seemed to be overlooked - like the empty packet of tissues in the bathroom.
The cottages are spaced nicely and look out onto a lake. It feels like you're in the middle of the bush, with very little noise or light pollution. We stayed in Jingella and most luxuries have been thought of - bath robes, fire starters, candles, two bottles of wine, fully equipped kitchen (but no dishwasher), tea and coffee, milk, tennis rackets and even a basketball for the court. We went to the restaurant for dinner on the Saturday night and it was nice and quiet with good food and service. It was a really lovely stay, the only thing I found disconcerting was the colour of the water.

AustraliaThere's not much not to like! If anything, the location may not suit everyone as it's a bit further out than the centre of polkobin.
The cabin was private and cosy with an open fireplace and a complimentary bottle of wine. We did wine tasting on site and had dinner in the restaurant. The owner (Darryl) was very hospitable and even let us pick a few herbs from the garden. We went for a run around the property on the final morning at sunset which was amazing as there were kangaroo's along the entire trail.

AustraliaI don’t have anything to add
The privacy and ambience was second to none. The serenity of the property, the beautiful food at the restaurant served by such kind staff was the best we’ve experienced. The cottage is very large for two people and has everything and more that you would want for a romantic relaxing weekend. you really have thought of everything. We will be back in winter to experience the hot jacuzzi on the deck and fire place inside the cottage. This time around we had the pool all to ourselves for hours, which was both unexpected and unbelievable. Thank you for such an amazing experience
