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.).

AustraliaI am so glad we stayed at the Lake house and if you are travelling this way you must stay. It's the most beautiful, peaceful, relaxing place. The hosts have provided everything you need and want. I just wish we could have stayed longer. We loved the town of Keith too. You must try the mini rollercoaster ride in the park.

AustraliaAlthough advertised as having wifi, the host provided info informing guests that the wifi is not especially strong or reliable at times ( or words to that effect) As leisure travellers staying only one night, this was no issue at all for us. You are in the country. Maybe Telstra, or whoever, will improve it one day.
Thank you Beth for breakfast provisions: eggs, bacon, fresh ( home-baked ) bread, home made jams (yum) plenty of cutlery implements etc we prepared our own evening meal. All good. Bed was comfy. And location is obviously super-quiet. We made our morning coffee with your nice pod machine. Spacious bathroom , walk-in shower .

AustraliaNothing particularly we didn't like.
This gorgeous little cottage was a great place to stay at just over 5 minutes from Keith. Wonderful location overlooking extensive lawn and a lake although it was full of reeds. Late afternoon the sprinklers came on together with a water fountain in the lake so that made a grand spectacle. The breakfast was magnificent with country eggs and bacon tasting delightful. The bed was very comfortable and the near full kitchen made the stay even better.

SlovakiaWhile it's understandable that the location is in the nature, it was not very well cleaned, there were cockroaches.
Very good jam handmade by the owner. Location surrounded by nature, we were waked up by bird's chirping. Amazing to find a bottle of wine when you arrive at the location.

AustraliaPersonally I was disappointed that couldn't actually SEE the lake from the cottage ( due to reeds). It was the sole reason I chose the property 🙄Also taps could be quite noisy ( which was problematic staying with elderly parents at night) but otherwise a gorgeous comfy B & B .
Loved that it was easy to locate, easy access to property, lovely decor ( including real houseplants) , well maintained gardens . The breakfast provisions were delicious . Very tranquil & relaxing . Overall an enjoyable & pleasant stay 🙂 Thankyou ❤️
