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.).

United KingdomA proper partitioned wall between the main house and guest section would be handy to reduce noise for both sides. My kids can make a bit of noise so we were a little conscious the main house might have been disturbed by us. Every other thing was amazing.
This property had everything on offer. It was so well thought out. Dawn had really put herself into her guests shoes and thought if every comfort one could possibly want. My family only had one night but we had such a happy stay, especially compared to places we have stayed in on our onward travel. We couldn’t believe just how spacious the house was upstairs. The bathroom was new and beds very comfortable. We would definitely recommend others to stay here. Thank you Dawn, you were an amazing host.

New ZealandWe were welcomed to the flatlet with scones and cream - yummy. The place was comfortable and relaxing. We had booked an evening meal that was outstanding! Upstairs was just as inviting with old fashioned charm. Breakfast was well catered for too. It was a lovely place to stay and exceeded the amount we paid.

United KingdomAngled bottom step of staircase. It proved troublesome everytime for my other half, yet I seemed to not notice it! Maybe the last step needs a different colour carpet so it doesn’t blend in. When we returned from penguin tour at night, we struggled to see to put the key in door and then find the light switch which was located on the opposite side of the room.
Paid extra for my partner for fried breakfast, it huge, cooked well and tasty! Excellent. Landlady suggested about visiting the blue penguins - so we did - what a great tip off was a super evening. Easy to find, safe off road parking and quiet position away from road.

New ZealandThere is not much not to write here. Its a neat place with beautiful soul people. One bit was the absence of a kitchenette and a sink to wash some dishes and fill up drinking water was little meh. After finishing the water in the bottles going to the owners for water may not be liked by everyone. Was fine with us though.
The hosts Sam and Dawn are very warm and nice people. They were very inviting and helpful with the arrangements. The house part where the guests reside has separate entrance and a garden so quite quiet and peaceful. The bedrooms and the toilet upstairs were neat and stocked up with the necessary supplies. So no issue of oh I forgot to bring my face tissue or hand towels.
