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.).

GermanyParking space was available. Location was great to reach the nearby restaurants, however it seems that in low season you cannot go out for dinner after 8pm. Otherwise you won’t find a place to grab dinner. Breakfast was great and you can eat whatever you want (bread, eggs, fruits…) and it is also ready by 6:30am. King size bed was great and the bathroom was super clean. Overall we had a great stay!

AustraliaOur room was slightly dusty and the blinds had a little bit of mould but this didn’t ruin our stay at all, the bed was really comfortable and they give you lots of complimentary add ons that more than made up for it. The rooms are in quite close proximity so it does rely on guests being courteous however, we didn’t have any problems and there are quiet hours in place to monitor noise levels.
The property is lovely, 3 bedrooms upstairs near the kitchen and dining room. Breakfast options were great with so many different jam selections and a really beautiful display. Check-out is 11am which is very generous and you feel very safe in the secure fencing. Complimentary tea & coffee 24/7 was amazing, our TV in our room made our stay so great as we were just looking to relax in the B&B all day. Complimentary Netflix as well as a fridge stocked with beer and wine for purchase at a very reasonable price.

New ZealandThis place was like a upmarket boutique BnB. Large ensuite room, comfortable bed and huge tv. Breakfast was available from 6.30 to 11am you just helped yourself. The table setting was beautiful. Food was excellent especially the home made bread. Would 100% recommend this BnB.

United KingdomAppreciate the need for security and cameras in public areas, but we found them a little intrusive. Just our personal opinion.
Good sized room. Great access to the kitchen for teas, coffee and breakfast. Breakfast options were excellent. Good location just a block away from the beach.

AustraliaWe really enjoyed the breakfast and how everything was laid out. Plenty of options to enjoys. The cookie jar was a great addition however a smaller jar replenished more often might help keep the experience fresher. Thank you for Tim Tam's aswell. The bread was fresh and delicious with the selection of jams to sample, which we did. Our room was comfortable, the upgrade to larger room was really appreciated. Great comfortable bed. More complimentary chocolates a winner.

AustraliaFeels more like a really nice share house than a B&B. I am used to the hosts at least meeting you at some point so was different to never see them. Room needs a proper wardrobe too.
Breakfast was DIY and facilities are good. Area is great and everything is walkable.

United StatesThe bathroom does not have a door, just curtains which felt a little odd. And we couldn’t get the stove top to work for eggs in the morning.
Location was great and room was very spacious! The jam/spreads selection and homemade bread at the breakfast was fantastic as well! Additionally, there were some great toiletries/lotions for guest use.

United KingdomThe bedrooms were comfortable and the separate DIY breakfast area was charming and had a good selection of cereals etc etc to make and enjoy a leisurely breakfast. Situated at the western end of Hervey Bay, the excursion company collected us from here for our wonderful trip to K’gari. Freshwater is also close to the park and creek where the fruit bat colony roosted, and watching them wake at sunset was was of the highlights of our stay at Hervey Bay.
