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 doona in the main bedroom could have fitted the cover better. (I think the doona was a double and the bed and cover were a queen size) nothing that wasn’t fixed by putting a blanket over the bed.
Location was great. Café, restaurants and shops were just around the corner. We could walk to the ocean. All other activities were a short drive away. Michael the owner was great. He texted when we arrived to make sure everything was okay and then again after we left.

AustraliaFirst felt a little bit worried about being asked to pay a bond as it never happened in the past. However, the host was very good and gave us a receipt, and after we stayed the bond was paid back quickly.
Great location, close to the beach, shops and restaurants. Lovely property with modern kitchen and bathroom. The WiFi speed is excellent.

AustraliaThere were so many board games in the cupboard, we didn’t have time to try them all!
Fantastic location within a few minutes’ walk of the cafés, restaurants and beach of Cowes. The kids loved having a bubble-bath spa each night. Loved the secure garage space for the car, open-plan top floor and high ceilings.

AustraliaThe key issue was the dirty, unclean and unhealthy state of the property which was presented, and would not be satisfactory for any reasonable person. This was was clearly evident within minutes of our arrival at the property and we quickly established that the accommodation was unfit for our potential stay and did not meet the description as presented on booking.com. The nature of the accommodation offered was clearly substandard and unsatisfactory for that advertised, and this was a misrepresentation of the quality and state of the property, which cost over $300 per night. We left the property within 30-40 minutes of arrival and did not utilise any facilities. Whilst the owner offered to have property cleaned and engaged cleaner it was clear that any such remediation works would be extensive and in our view unsatisfactory being both a further and lengthy inconvenience and loss of enjoyment on our behalf. A number of the issues evident could not be resolved quickly. These included but not restricted to: • Kitchen area – food scraps on floor in numerous spots • Fridge – food and liquid spills; food scraps and mould; and hair evident inside • Microwave – food splattered and scraps inside • Oven – used tray and baking paper full of grease inside; dirty on front, oven door interior dirty • Cutlery – top 2 draws, food scraps and hair evident; food and/or liquid spills evident; dirty cutlery • Sink – not clean, grime on taps and basin clearly uncleaned • Bin – lid filthy from food scraps and/or liquid spills • Pantry – numerous dirty and out of date items, tea or coffee spills There were serious shortcomings with the accommodation and whilst we endeavoured to negotiate for a resolution with both the owner and booking.com neither satisfactorily addressed our concerns.
Nothing. Even the upload of this review wouldn't permit us to lodge all photos!

AustraliaI thought our baby could use the yard but it was concrete and gravel so my children didn’t use the yard at all and therefore we needed to leave the Accom to give them exercise or have some outdoor time which wasn’t ideal with a toddler who naps but it was very close to everything so walking a short distance outside for a play was not a problem when it fit in our schedule.
very child friendly. From inbuilt baby gate, free portacot to use, huge bath, large living area, children’s books and toys for use, it really felt like a home away from home and when the kids are well taken care of mum and dad can relax!
