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 grounds are lovely and the buildings very much in keeping with the Tuscan ambience. The cottage was away from the main road and we loved the peace and privacy. The cottage is beautifully furnished with attention to every detail - eg sprigs of lavender on the linen. The provisions for breakfast were a bonus.

AustraliaThe beds were super comfortable and furnishings great. It would have been helpful to have a small table and chairs for eating meal inside. It was too hot to use the outdoor tables and chairs. I imagine it would be uncomfortably cold in winter outside as well. This being said there is no way we would stay anywhere else Yankalilla except the Olives
Breakfast wonderful as we arrived too late to get in supplies for the following morning

AustraliaIt was self check-in. The cottage was so well hidden in the gardens we were t sure whether to head left or right at the end of the driveway.
The Garden Cottage was a wonderful place to stay for two nights. Serene, private, and in stunning grounds. Small touches such as fresh breakfast provisions created a welcoming feel.

AustraliaWere surprised considering the above(well appointed kitchen)that there was no little table and chairs inside . We were lucky with the weather so could eat at the table on the patio using the outdoor furniture. A small round table could have replaced the large sideboard under the television or a rectangular narrow one which could have fitted.
Very generous breakfast we were not expecting most welcome after a long drive from Melbourne Kitchenette so well equipped could cook an excellent meal with ease

AustraliaVery well appointed venue. Provisions were more than adequate and very much appreciated. The surroundings were lovely- it was nice to wander around the gardens that had lots of little nooks to explore. Equally as nice to sit and enjoy the view from the barn.

AustraliaThis holiday cottage is situated in a beautiful private garden surrounded by ancient, and very big, olive trees. There are two bedrooms on either side of a central sitting and kitchen space, with comfortable king (or king single) beds.The owner's house (which dates from the 1850s, with an 1870s front) is nearby but the cottage is very private. The garden is very impressive, especially for such challenging soil and climate, based on a long lawn with stone wall terraces and extensive planting of ivy-geraniums, oleander, lavender and such like. A pear tree near the house is supposed to be one of the oldest in SA. There is a nice country walk, if fairly lengthy, going out the gate and around the town and back, through the rolling hills of Yankalilla. The main street has some interesting buildings going back to the 1850s, notably the tiny Anglican church, which is usual openand had good stained glass, leading to the beach at Normanville. It is a good base for doing the McLaren vale wineries, as well as Strathalbyn and Victor Harbour, and you can even do a day trip to King Island from the ferry further down the coast.

AustraliaThe lack of a complete kitchenette (not having an oven and cooking tops) was the only negative, but the restaurants were pretty close (a 7min drive).
Excellent location and plenty of space to walk and relax for the whole family. Very clean house, secure and comfortable. A lot of effort has been put into maintaining the house and the huge garden.
