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 service may contain translations powered by Google. Google disclaims all warranties related to the translations, express or implied, including any warranties of accuracy, reliability, and any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Australia-
When we arrived, a handwritten card gave us a welcome message from our host (included advice that she’d left icecreams in the freezer for us!). A lovely cottage set in a beautiful rural setting. It is beautifully furnished and the breakfast provisions were local and plentiful. The cottage was spotlessly clean, beds were very comfortable and the artworks throughout were amazing.

AustraliaLovely & cosy little cottage that’s a home away from home. Perfect position on top of the hill to enjoy the beautiful landscape views from the living room & bedrooms. We enjoyed listening and watching the bird life, kangaroos munching the grass and bees buzzing around the flowers. Thank you very much for having the fireplace set up & ready to go. We loved staying here for the weekend and wish we could stay here for the week. I can’t wait to come back!

AustraliaThat we couldn’t stay for longer… we will be back!
What a wonderful stay we had at Windmill Cottage. We felt so far away from the rest of the world, yet were so close to all of the great tourist spots the Clare Valley has to offer. The first thing we noticed was how impeccably clean it was… we are very fussy and could not fault it. The unexpected generosity with breakfast provisions were more than ample for our stay, fresh bacon, free range eggs, muesli, yoghurt, cereal and more! Thank so much for the chocolate and biscuits too… yum! As we’re in the depths of winter the combustion heater was ready for us to light and we definitely made good use of it over our stay, so warm and homely. The views from the property were amazing and the wildlife, even at this time of the year, were a pleasant surprise. Thank you to Belinda for your hospitality. It was also wonderful meeting your parents at the Medika Gallery in Blyth (a must visit!), we didn’t leave empty handed. We look forward to visiting again and will tell everyone (who we like) what a great little hideaway you have!

Australianothing- it was perfect.
the hosts have gone to a lot of effort to ensure our staff was exceptional. There was a lot of information given to enhance our staff at the cottage and i am looking forward to staying there again in the future. There is a lot of wild life around from the finches and budgies and lorokets to the kangaroos and rabbits. Then there is all views from various points on the property. Also all the plants as well.
