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.).

United StatesThe room is a little small but it was great for what we needed and we could have easily done a few nights there.
It was super close to the beach and they made sure check-in was a breeze after hours. The woman working at the front was sweet and helped us figure out our ferry times!

AustraliaThe Shelly Beach Motel was a great place to stay. The lady was extremely helpful and friendly. The room was clean and tidy and all our needs supplied. It was in a good location to be able to walk along the foreshore and up to some shops if needed. Only a short drive from Harbour and Boat Club.

AustraliaI was surprised by how busy the road was for most of the night. The room is set back, but the noise was still a little too frequent to have the windows open.
Very clean. Had everything we needed - plates, cutlery, glassware. Small and functional. We needed five beds - received a room that had the main and a single in the main space, and a separate room with two singles with its own tv! Perfect for the teenagers to escape the rest of us.

AustraliaNothing at all this place has everything good going for it.
The room was really clean and even had cutlery plates and an electric fry pan for cooking. Nice big fridge and comfortable bed. It also has a great view.The staff are really great and very friendly. We really enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be back next time we're up that way. This has got to be the best place we stayed in without exception and for a great price. No one would be disappointed with this place.

AustraliaThe road noise but that was to be expected given our location.
The room was very clean, spacious and right across the road from the beach. The bathroom was very well set out with clothes hooks, towel racks and a place to put our soap and shampoo while showering. The kitchen area was great with crockery, cutlery, cooking appliances and a decent sized refrigerator. I liked having a couch also in the room.

The place is clean and tidy and the bathroom has been modernised nicely. Cars can be parked and a carport right near the lower room doors so it is a easy unpack too.
