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.).

AustraliaWhile it is walking distance to town, it’s a little far to keep walking back and forth throughout the day multiple times.
Beautiful and clean, the staff were very friendly and helpful.

AustraliaVery little, if anything, we could fault.
The Beach Shack is in an excellent location, and we found everything to be as described. The rooms are very comfortable, there is adequate on-site parking for everyone and the morning breakfasts were great. Communication from Ned was exceptionally good, from reaching out to make the room available earlier if we wished to happily making a late checkout work. More than happy to stay again.

A quiet & comfortable location that is very clean and close to the town centre. Nenad and Adrian are truly wonderful hosts - that cater to all your needs. A wealth of information on where to eat and all that's great in and around Byron Bay. Delicious home cooked breakfast is delivered to your room each day. Thank you for a memorable stay. We plan to visit again.

AustraliaWould be great to have the option to have breakfast earlier. Noise in the morning from the child who plays in the pool (just opposite) would be bothersome for those who did not rise early. Ideal for short stays as no dishwasher. Would be great if there was a mirror in the bedroom (as only one in the bathroom)
Breakfast was amazing. The distance to town is perfect. Bed and show very comfortable. Great service too.

United StatesIt seemed a little pricey for what it was. I did not look at other places. This was recommended to me by a friend.
The breakfast was good. It was a 5 minute walk to the main town and a couple minute walk to the beach.

AustraliaNo complaint however as breakfast had to be on the outside deck, on hot mornings it would have been nice if there was a blind that could be lowered to keep the direct sun off the table & chairs.
It was great having our breakfast brought to our room in a known time frame (8.30-9.00). The table is on a very nice deck, with also a day bed for relaxing on. The apartment was very comfortable.
