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 smaller accommodation/hut did not have their own bathroom/toilet facility.. However, it was a short walk to the main facility. It definitely was not a deal breaker.
First, the staff was warm and welcoming. The view of the Bass Strait was exceptional and priceless. The room was very clean and homely, with a direct view of the ocean. I had two penguins walk past my hut, and wallabies hopped up the bank for a feed. It truly was a romantic getaway. I highly recommend it, even as a solo traveller such as I was. The highlight was the fire pit overlooking the ocean, and I was lucky to have a clear night and view of the milkyway from my own deck. For those that are searching for peace and tranquillity this is a place to stay. As someone who has recently separated from the ADF, the location allowed me to truly reflect and heal.

FranceThe staff need to be sure that they tell everyone not to shine white lights on the Penguins as a couple of people did not realize. I think these things have to be spelt out as people often don't listen! Breakfast was a little bit expensive .
Absolutely stunning. What a gorgeous place! I wish I had booked longer. I had one of the Glamping units overlooking the sea. No toilet but the price to pay for the perfect position! Absolutely gorgeous and you could hear the sound of the waves at night. That is, obviously if you weren't foolish enough to put on your air-conditioning! I saw the penguins come out of the sea and waddle up the hill. Make sure you have the red torch and do not do not do not shine the white torch on them as it disorientates them. I stayed until 11 at night watching them as I was so mesmerized. What a fabulous amazing place this is. Book at least two nights .

AustraliaWifi connection is not great do it is difficult to work from here, however it is intended as a retreat, not a work space.
Magnificent ocean views, fresh air& comfortable cabins with friendly helpful staff. Communal kitchen facilities and yoga room are excellent also. Roaming the fields in the evening and seeing wildlife and penguins and added treat.

AustraliaInstant coffee sachets in the room, would have been better if there was a coffee machine. Soap bottles in the shower didn't work that well.
Friendly and helpful staff, fantastic location, clean and comfortable, great facilities. Falling asleep with the sound of crashing waves in the background is one of the best features of The Cove.

AustraliaThe scenery is absolutely stunning, relaxing and serene. The villa is spacious, spotless and luxurious. The included hamper of food was very generous. My fiance and I had a very special and memorable time. We also walked to the beach to watch the fairy penguins come in and waddle up the hill. The Cove is a very special place.

The most amazing location. Great views, spectacular spacious common area design, well-equipped first-class facility. The friendliest staff. Wildlife is everywhere, domesticated and native. We walked down to the foreshore to watch the Little Blue penguins come ashore; peacocks, paddymelons, possums, and rabbits wandered the grounds. The massive shared kitchen was a great place to meet people. We stayed at some of the best Hotels in Tassie during our trip, but this is the place we will remember most fondly.

Beautiful place. We stayed here with ocean view and liked our stay there, so we decided to stay at Villa for another night. It was worth coming to see how amazing Villa was. We also joined Farm Tour with Jess and had good experience with farm animals. The owner Kim was friendly and helpful with restaurant recommendations in the local areas. We’ll be back for sure when we come back to Tasmania.
