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.).

AustraliaThe swimming pool was not heated so it was too cold to make use of.
It was in a great location being walking distance to beach but also away from busyness of the main strip. The room was spacious and very comfortable and we loved having the private back porch to relax in. We enjoyed the delicious gourmet breakfasts lovingly prepared by Adrian each morning. The other host Ned was very friendly with lots of helpful travel tips to offer.

AustraliaThe pool is much smaller than in the pictures. But, again, not a big deal as the beach is very close.
Extremely friendly manager, beautiful location, very nice and spacious rooms - mini villas. Beach-facing veranda, everything in Byron just a short walk away and a good breakfast served to the room. What else would one want?

SwitzerlandWe absolutely loved our stay. The only thing we wished was different was that the AC is in the living room and not in the bedroom. It took some time to get the warm air out of the bedroom and cool the room down. But everything else was perfect.
We stayed in the Lomandra Suite which is upstairs and has its own private entrance. The apartment is absolutely beautiful, spacious, comfortable and very clean. The bed is big and comfy. It rained on one day of our stay and we spent it on our private, covered terrace which was very nice and relaxing. Ned, the owner, is a great guy who gave us some helpful tips on where to eat and visit. Every morning at 9am he brought us a homemade delicious and healthy breakfast. Our kitchenette contained a Nespresso machine including a milk frother. From the Beach Shack it is about a 5 min walk to Belongil Beach and a 10-15 min walk to the centre of Byron Bay and Main Beach. Especially if you are a couple, looking for a beautiful and quiet accomodation, this is the place for you!

Australiathe property was clean and beautifully appointed. little touches like jazz playing upon entry and the toiletries in the bathroom. Comfy bathrobes and soft towels .Iron and ironing board and plenty of hanging space . beats a single hotel room as you feel like you have your own little sanctuary. Beach is out of your garden gate and a couple 100 metres walk through the bush . Our hosts were kind, considerate and very entertaining. We will be back !!!

Our host, Nenad, was friendly and accommodating (our requests for fresh towels and toiletries were promptly met). Breakfast, prepared by Nenad’s partner Adrian, was fabulous and served promptly each day at 9am. The yoghurt with muesli and fresh fruits was yummy. Location is close to Belongil beach, about 5 min walk. We stayed at two garden villas, and especially like garden villa Myrtle which had a nice and spacious corner garden, that was cool, breezy and quiet with the occasional sounds of birds chirping from the surrounding trees. A great place to unwind for those looking for a quieter place with excellent living facilities.
