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.).

AustraliaNo complaints whatsoever!
The accommodation was perfect for what we needed and is in a brilliant location near the centre of town. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating, it was an enjoyable experience! The cottage suits a couple looking to explore the area right down to the ground.

AustraliaWe didn't know that the entry was from Campbell Street, rather than the Hargraves Street address, so it was a bit tricky finding it (the main house is called Green Gables). Our host saw us driving around looking for the entrance and rang us. Much appreciated (though advance notice would have been useful :-) ) In such a spacious bathroom, more room could have been allowed for the shower (thinking of us older folks).
Comfortable, spacious cottage with well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. Close to everything. Quiet. We stayed 4 nights and would very happily return.

AustraliaThis place is far too rustic to be described as charming. There were cockroaches in the bedroom, the floor was wet in the living area with water leaking from the window frame. The bathroom looks great in the photos however it is very cold with no heating other than an overhead heatlamp with one lamp not functioning. There were only two bath towels provided that had to be used over two days with no way of drying them in between times. The shower is very compact, and the pedestal basin was just plain grotty. The power points were plentiful but not in a useful position. Other reviews comment on the great bed, yes the mattress is comfortable, but there is no electric blanket and the pillows are dreadful. The A/C in the bedroom was old and ridiculously loud. The owner avoided any contact with us. The kitchen was very basic. The whole place was gloomy and dark and needed lights on at all times. Could not be more disappointed given the glowing reviews on this and other sites. I can't believe they're talking about the same place. Very poor value for money.
The proximity to the town centre was good.
