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.).

AustraliaThere was nothing we didn’t like.
The most beautiful building I have stayed in. You can tell it is absolutely loved by the owners, who are absolutely made to be hosts. We were surprised & grateful that they got up early to cook breakfast for us before getting on the spirit of Tasmania. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this beautiful home.

Australia1. The darkish wall colours and the very large numbers of hanging paintings, tapestries etc., along with fairly low wattage lighting, gave the hall and bedroom quite a sombre ambience. 2. The fridge was good, but there was no freezer either in our room fridge or in the upstairs lounge fridge, and we had an esky with some fresh produce but were not able to freeze the ice bricks overnight.
1. Breakfast far exceeded the normal B&B reakfast experience! This was both regarding quality, range of choice, and speed and attentiveness of service. 2. The bed was very comfortable. 3. The location is splendid. 4. The reception was friendly and helpful. 5. Onsite parking was appreciated.

AustraliaNothing, everything was great!!
Brendan and Paul were so lovely; they made our stay even better. From a wonderful cooked breakfast, made to order, to the free port and sherry in the guest lounge, to the large supremely comfortable king bed and the great balcony overlooking Devonport, to the friendliness of our hosts (Brendan going above and beyond by giving us a lift to our dinner reservation at Mrs Jones), it was a perfect stay!

AustraliaBreakfasts were great. Unfortunately we weren't there on the weekend so missed the high tea. Paul and Brenden are the perfect hosts. They suggested some great restaurants for evening meals, which we took advantage of. We stayed for one night and enjoyed it so much that we booked a second night to break our trip back to Launceston.

AustraliaCan't think of any negatives.
The personal touch and great to hear some history of the building and surrounding area. Our hosts were fantastic, and we will definitely recommend the Grand on Macfie to our friends. The hosts went out of their way to provide breakfast prior to boarding the Ferry even with 4 groups to cater for. The accommodation was meticulously furnished in the period style and well priced. A memorable stay.

AustraliaNothing not to like. The accomodation and facilities were clearly communicated on ony search engine, and you new what you were booking. The fact is, that our expectations were exceeded due to the attention to detail during the renovation of this period home by the lovely owners.
The breakfast was amazing. One of the owners takes great pleasure in prepairing food, and the breakfast did not dissapoint, and both owners were very attentive, and enjoyed conversation during same. I would recomend this guest house on the breakfast alone.
