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 KingdomThis is a delightful country home. The facilities are very comfortable but it is the warmth of the welcome and the hospitality of the hosts that make this so special. Chris and Steak make you feel like family and we had a wonderful evening and breakfast with them in their kitchen.

This was a real gem. The house standing at the base of Mount Tatanaki was stunning. Chris and Steak were the most welcoming and lovely couple and our room was beautiful. We hope to return some day. It's a wildlife haven and we were lucky to see a hare and a hedgehog on the lawn. Breakfast was delicious.

New ZealandThis is a magical spot, with the loveliest hosts you will ever meet! My room looked out onto the water, and the outdoor space was a great spot to sit reading in the sun, before relaxing in the hot tub as the sun went down. Chris and Steak are such lovely people, and we chatted for ages over breakfast. The house and gardens are so beautiful, this was a most relaxing place to stay. Highly recommend!

AustraliaChris and Steak are wonderful hosts and amazing people. They went to every effort to look after us and make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. Chris even supplied some petrol when we were worried we wouldn't make it to the nearest petrol station. On top of that the house is lovely and the views are amazing.

New ZealandThe view is amazing, recommend you plan to watch sunset. If you are interested in history this is next to the parihaka settlement. It's a fair way out from New Plymouth. The owners are lovely. If you are gona book a room..you want the room with the veranda to enjoy the view. The lack of an operational bedroom door handle was iffy...and the shared bathroom should have a latch to the adjoining bedroom door so they cant just walk in. Finish the room decoration..blue masking tape up etc. Need a proper number on the road too
