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.).

New ZealandFor us everything was perfect. Someone with mobility problems might have difficulty stepping up onto the deck at the entrance; the location of the recycling area might also be challenging due to the uneven ground.
We loved the spaciousness of this well-equipped cottage and the quiet environment...a great place to relax!

New ZealandIt’s a wee way out of town but that’s hardly a negative for the peace and outlook it provides.
Fantastic hospitality, we were met with a bottle of the vineyards Pinot. Gorgeous outlook over the vines. Comfortable and cosy, the kitchen in this rustic cottage was well equipped and the wood burner fire, heat pump and oil heaters kept us nice and warm. Breakfast supplies were a fabulous bonus, thank you.

New ZealandLovely, cosy accommodation amongst the vineyard area of Alexandra. A perfect base for three nights to explore the Central Otago region. Exemplary hosts that were able to help with anything that arose. Were there on our arrival with a bottle of wine in hand. Showed us all the amenities and started the fire while chatting about places of interest. Everything you could want was available. Warm beds, plenty of towels. Well stocked kitchen and pantry supplies to provide ample breakfasts and extra staples to help with preparing other meals. Well above expectations!

New ZealandThe cottage is about 4kms from the town centre. But we knew this.
Beautifully presented and well-appointed cottage, we felt right at home! Large bedrooms, comfy beds, wood burner and heat pump. Firewood was delivered on our arrival by Paul, so we had the wood burner going that evening! Quiet location, nice rear deck surrounded by vines, magical... Continental breakfast was ready in the fridge for the 2 days, Angela even provided gluten-free bagels for one of us. And wine tasting is a must!

New ZealandDisappointed that we had to fill the wood baskets ourselves on arrival. Although the wood pile was only a short distance from the cottage, it would have been a welcoming touch to have had the baskets full. The hot water supply was not enough for 2 showers. Also disappointed with breakfast supplies. Opened cereal packets that are obviously left from 1 guest to another.
Lovely setting in the vineyard, and away from the main township. The wood burner made the cottage warm and cosy in the evening. Complimentary bottle of wine was nice, and we enjoyed our wine tasting session.

New ZealandThe overall impression both outside and inside was of tiredness, lack of proper cleaning and neglect. The high tariff is not justified. The property needs a deep clean and general refurb. The windows were very dirty, the outside areas were overgrown, The dining chairs had torn coverings and there was a musty smell throughout. There was dust and mould everywhere including a thick layer of black mould above the shower.
We liked the quiet location and the spaciousness of the bedrooms and living areas. We had a welcome bottle of wine and fruit on the table. Continental breakfast was provided.
