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 really. Just two minor observations. Single showers could be a tiny bit bigger. And the mirror in the bathroom bit too high for me…but I’m 5.1’ ;-)
My stay at The Swell was absolutely great! From the staff being so attentive and friendly, and the property being so stunning! Loved the decor and the location was perfect. I got lost a few times in the big super cosy and comfy bed :) was in town for the tango festival so didn’t spend much time using the facilities. Next time for sure! Loved it!

NetherlandsThe lady during the check-in was super sweet! We were in Byron Bay for a day only but because of her we saw a lot of the highlights: sunrise at the lighthouse, farmer market and the amazing beach. In addition, she gave us good tips for restaurants. The accommodation was very clean and fashionable, has a lot of facilities and the technology works well. I would recommend this property to everyone!!

AustraliaCould use some more sunbeds in the pool area- at times there were not enough available. Umbrellas could also be positioned to provide shade for all sunbeds.
Gorgeous new property! The lush gardens are divine. The pool, sauna and ice bath facilities are fantastic. The garden deluxe room was very spacious with a very comfortable bed. The in room cocktails add a nice touch! The staff were also fantastic, they went out of their way to make you feel welcome and offered superior service at all times.

AustraliaLimited shade around the pool and garden cafe area. Need some alternative solutions so guests can enjoy the outside space when it’s really hot. Shower pressure could improve. Pool is also on the small side- a little too intimate if more than 2 couples are in the pool at same time.
Trendy and well maintained facilities. Love the music playing by the pool and throughout the hotel.

United KingdomThe lack of room servicing and clean towels, no breakfast room and I was charged for a deluxe room and given a lower grade room breakfast I was taken because of this which consisted of a very limited menu, toast or a croissant and tea Also very noisy until late at night as there is a large pub behind the hotel
The rooms were beautifully clean and tasteful furnished, very good location
