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 we can think of that could be better.
The location was beautiful and serene, very calming and relaxing to be in and around. Just a short drive away from Evan's Lookout and a short walk away from nearby bushwalking tracks, this is really a nice spot. The breakfast provisions were honestly very generous and more than we could've asked for, the lovely hosts even catered for my dietary requirements so that was a bonus. The spa bath was too good haha, really relaxing. The fireplace was perfect for our time there as it's getting colder and set the mood for cosiness, plus there was always enough firewood and kindling and whatnot. The hospitality of the hosts is impressive in that their welcome and goodbye was felt through notes of thanks for our time there.

AustraliaThe grounds of the property was beautiful and very peaceful. The cottage we stayed in was cosy and very comfortable and the wood fire was the perfect touch for this time of the year. The breakfast supplied was generous and hearty and there was absolutely nothing we could have wanted for. The hosts, See & George were lovely & welcoming and if Secrets is available when we next plan to visit the BM, then that would be our choice of accommodation.

AustraliaIt was a little snug in the bedroom as the space was quite small. A bit difficult to get around the bed.
The provision of so much wonderful food was a delight and above and beyond. It was replenished frequently. We were made to feel very much at home and often used the outdoors communal seating to relax and read. The spa bath was divine. All in all a very relaxing and enjoyable break.

AustraliaThe only thing was that the bed was a little hard for our liking. But that's just a personal preference.
The atmosphere of the property was old world charm. All of the little touches like the Easter chocolate and hot cross buns were lovely. The breakfast hamper had so much food and freshly made bread.. The fire was set for us and our every wish was catered for.

MalaysiaThe rooms had character and were well equipped. The kitchenette facilities were good and the breakfast ingredients were tasty and plentiful. There were lovely touches, such as the provision of mince pies and a Christmas pudding. The owner went 'above and beyond' giving us lifts into Blackheath (which was also walkable). The cottage is very well placed for the Grand Canyon walk and in easy reach of many other trails.

AustraliaWe really couldn’t think of anything negative to say.
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Secrets Hideaway. Everything we could have wanted for was provided, and much more; we were staying just after Christmas, and the host provided a lovely hamper of Christmas goodies! The location is perfect for exploring the Blue Mountains more generally, but is also a short walk from Evan’s Lookout. The room was clean, tidy, and felt cozy, even in the summer. We would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to stay in the area!
