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.).

AustraliaNothing, it exceeded our expectations.
The location was out of the main area which made it very quiet which we love. The rooms were very spacious and decorated in a fashion suitable to the age of the building. We loved the under floor heating in the bathroom. Great facilities for a family with young children.

AustraliaPillows are all a bit hard to my liking. Shower drain was a bit blocked with water buildup. No tap function for security bond payment. Room fees were c harged twice by both booking.com and reception. Different staff gave different explanation....
Internally renovated as new, the same time maintained inside out historic appearance which is a great job done. It's well equipped in the room also provided with pool, bikes, canoe, tennis court, chess, gym, table tennis etc. facilities at the estate. Staff is reachable 24*7 for late check-in etc.

New ZealandNot so much a didn't like, but there wasn't a lot of info available. So we didn't find out till we asked that rooms aren't serviced but you can get replacement everything at reception. Our room did smell damp and it turned out there was a leak in the shower which we reported to the Reception team.
This place is a beautiful old collection of buildings surrounded by amazing birdlife and wildlife. The room was large and comfortable with everything that we needed for 4 adults. We loved waking up to the crazy birds, wandering around spotting the rabbits or seeing the possums in the evenings. Having on-site laundry facilities was handy and the Pool and spa was awesome. Located in a lovely quiet area less than 10 mins from the CBD.

AustraliaThe check in was 4pm and check out was 10am. Losing the standard 2 hrs was a bit odd. It is a wyndham resort so their members got an earlier check in of 2pm and out at 12. The 2pm or 3pm with an 11 check out is pretty standard in Australia. The room was also not serviced daily for the price point we found this a little odd but not a huge deal. It is an old building and our room had a stuffy smell and you couldn't open the windows. That would be solved with a nice diffuser. All over the place this and that feature was free for wyndham members or paid for general guests things like even your internet was throttled for non members unless you paid. Having stayed at this type of set up in the US I had hoped that the extra perks were for the members and the baseline for the general customers but the overall features and set up felt a bit sub par for the non members. When you are paying close to $300 a night you have higher expectations and these 'perks' members in the way it impacted the non members definitely did not appeal. Give these members a lot more yes but give your guests paying a very reasonable fee the standard you'd get at another accommodation of a similar price point. The staff were lovely could not fault them and this feedback does not reflect on them. We've stayed at other resorts that have memberships all over the world and impact on non members wasn't detrimental rather the members got a lot more.
The pool and spa were great. Grounds were lovely and beds were very comfortable.

Our kids absolutely loved the paddle boats and other activities on offer. Every morning they would wake up and go for a run around the lake, use the spa and then we would explore Ballarat before heading back for an evening on the lake and tennis!
