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.).

This would be the best homestay accommodation we have ever used - and we have stayed at plenty around the world. The property contained everything we needed. It was spotlessly clean and is excellently located. The hosts were superb and provided an amazing assortment of quality breakfast and other provisions - far more than we could possibly consume during our 4 day stay. I can not recommend Topiary Haven highly enough and would definitely book it again if we return to Launceston.

AustraliaThe TV was in a weird spot, it was on a wall that was visible from the kitchen area which was good, but to watch from the couch wasnt great. No HD capability-? TV needs an update
Beautifully decorated and private. Had great provisions- bacon, eggs, breads, fruit, yoghurt, granola, juice, milk,coffee pods etc etc. it even had bottles of wine you could purchase if you wished. The bedding was lovely and bed comfortable. Only a slight issue that the bed had an end which made it short for my tall husband. Lovely little outside section and the property and topiary was incredible.

AustraliaThe cottage had everything that one could want. It was spacious and beautifully furnished. The garden with its topiary and flowering shrubs was wonderful to look out on. The kitchen had all the equipment that one could possibly want. The 'breakfast provisions' were incredibly generous. The location was also good, an easy drive into the city or a walk (albeit steep) to Cataract Gorge. This is a place to return to.

AustraliaFrom the warm welcome from hosts, Diana and Barry, through the magnificent topiary gardens, to a beautifully decorated cottage, Topiary Haven was an absolute delight. The cottage came fully equipped with everything you would need for an extended stay. The pantry was well stocked, and the refrigerator packed with fresh produce, more than enough for our three-day stay. The cottage was so comfortable, we would have been happy to stay in and not go out. Highly recommended.

Everything! We have traveled alot over the years and this is the finest and most complete B&B we have ever stayed it! Nothing has been forgotten!Topiary features everywhere in the garden. Barry has done exceptional work over the years. If you are in the Launceston area it is a must to stay! Only a 15 minute walk to the Cataract Gorge.
