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 ZealandThe cottage that had not been updated, was a disappointment for the couple who stayed in that one. Packed Lunches were very expensive.
Amazing location on the waterfront. We were in 3 of Cook's Cottages. 2 of the 3 had been renovated, the 3rd was not yet done. Self contained with cooking, refrigerator and ensuite sized bathroom. Very clean and crisp linens. Sadly the weather wasn't good, but dinner in the bar by the fire with good company more than made up for it. Staff were great. Very pleasant place to stay while walking the Queen Charlotte Track

New ZealandWe loved everything but the food. We could tell they were trying their best in this space, and COVID, staffing etc impacts things, but it was just underwhelming and not as described (menu v reality). If you have any dietaries other than vegetarian I'd suggest doing what we did and bringing some snacks, breakfast items etc with you just in case. For example, I ordered breakfast on Saturday morning of muesli as it was indicated as being gluten free. It wasn't, so I had to choose something else from a very limited gf selection and could only really get a cooked breakfast...which came out on rye toast. I wouldn't have minded so much if I hadn't of signalled it on our booking. I understand there's only so much that can be done to cater to these but I felt like a burden. We both agreed that we would've run out of options if we had stayed any longer than two nights.
Loved our room, very comfortable and quiet. The surroundings are absolutely stunning! We loved having a small fridge available in our room, as well a bottle opener and glasses to enjoy a special bottle of wine that we bought with us as we were celebrating an anniversary. Had some excellent drinks at the bar, enjoyed on the verandah as we were lucky enough to have stunning weather. We got to enjoy parts of the Queen Charlotte track, definitely recommend that even if you just walk a bit of it! The staff were all very friendly and helpful - particular kudos to our barman Friday night for a great negroni, and the women working Saturday night dinner after already doing some long days. You all worked so hard to keep things ticking along and we appreciated it :)

New Zealandmeal quite disappointing. The meal served didn’t reflect the meal on the menu apart from the main item. the waiter addressed all comments to me and didn’t engage my wife in the discussion even though she had views on food and wine. wifi erratic.

New ZealandNot a biggie but the menu at the resteraunt was a little standard. We felt it could do with offering a few more exciting options given the location and the fact it was the only place to eat.
The location and room were beautiful. Staff were very friendly and happy to facilitate an early check in.
