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.).

AustraliaGetting covered in cobwebs when going from passageway to lounge. Sitting side saddle on the toilet because it's placement is too close to the wall. Then they have placed a hand rail on the wall too to make it even more complicated. Glad we were not disabled as it would be a nightmare to manage. Shower is pokey. Advice is don't drop the soap as you can't bend over to pick it up. Also you can't dress in the shower room, you need to move to the adjoining bathroom. There is a shower in the 2nd bathroom but it is over the bath and for us wasn't an option. Not the cleanest accommodation
King bed was comfortable. Well equipped kitchen with all that you need. Close to town and quiet location. Living rooms and bedrooms are spacious.

AustraliaReverse cycle heater and air-con was not working at all. Malfunction buttons dis[played that it required maintenance; we couldn't do anything about that on a weekend. Luckily there was a portable IXL Heater in the bedroom which we were able to use to warm the living area on a wintry weekend. Also blinds were broken at top of curtain rail.
Great location by a little lake with a group of other cottages only a short stroll from the main streets. A nice roomy cottage the size of a small house, plenty of space. Appreciated the range of kitchen utensils appliances and items. Easy parking and access to cottage with its own grounds. Nice shower.

AustraliaWhen we arrived at the cottage it smelt of and old house that has been locked up for months. It was clean but perhaps needs a deep clean, carpet maybe, to get rid of the musty smell. We did open all the doors and windows to freshen it up.
Location is perfect, walk to shops and most places to visit. The view and the setting is lovely.
