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.).

AustraliaCould have had a few more coffee pods. The salt and pepper shakers didn't work. There could have been a few more little dishes for nibbles. Otherwise - great, the milk frother was a bonus.
Beautifully designed, well thought out - with excellent finishing touches. Super comfortable and immaculately clean. Great location and parking, straight forward process. Thank you.

AustraliaThe body wash provided was nearly empty so we had to ration it.
It smelt amazing and clean on arrival. The bed was SO comfortable and the overall vibe of the place was one of a kind. The temperature inside was also comfortable for the duration of our stay and we didn’t require to use the air con or heater at anytime. Checking in and out was easy and hassle-free.

The breakfast was continental style with all needs supplied and fresh ingredients. The facilities were first rate, and a desirable place to stay. unfortunately one night was not enough.

AustraliaUnfortunately communication on details to check in went missing. While we understand mix ups like this can sometimes happen, it was frustrating and a little stressful to have to try several times to try and get a response over the day we were booked in about specific address details and check in procedure. Breakfast provisions need to be checked more carefully. Fortunately, we had butter with us for our toast but none was left out (we later found some tucked away in a cardboard box up on a shelf).
It was very comfortable. Great shower and if you needed to do laundry would have been very handy. Lovely little courtyard seating area.

AustraliaThe property was awesome so nice and quite large inside doesn’t look that big from inside but wow what a surprise. So clean and the bed was comfortable and a great shower. Loved the decor wish we could have stayed another night but when I booked I couldn’t only get the one night but would highly recommend and would definitely stay again. It is a little bit from the main centre to walk but Ubers were so quick and u were there in no time so you could go in town and have a drink. Thanks for a great stay.
