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 KingdomThe kitchen facilities were good, however, most of the utensils and frypans/saucepans were really dirty/greasy on arrival. Most of the frypans were quite badly damaged so only one was really usable. It was a shame because the standard of the rest of the property was great. The downstairs bathroom shower also had an issue where the hose attached to the wall, water is spurting out quite a lot, may need tightening. Not a major issue.
Amazing view and location. Plenty of space for the whole family. Pool and hot tub were great. Some more info on how to etc for the hot tub would be ideal, just to make sure you're using it right, or need to add chlorine granules etc? More info on the rubbish bag requirements also would be handy. We are local so we know about the blue bags and recycling but not everyone will.

New ZealandThe oven door didn't shut properly so it took a while to cook things. But that is the only thing that could do with a wee fix.
Beautiful house, with stunning views, and perfect, clean facilities. Even better than the pictures :)

New ZealandWe honeymooned for five nights at the Harbour View. It was perfection. Immaculately clean, spacious and homely. The pool, the spa and the view made it a magical getaway. We heard more pork calling to each other at night. Practically, the kitchen is very well equipped and there were heatpumps in the lounge and master suite. Cannot recommend this property enough. Thank you James and Fay, very much.

New Zealandthere was no storage space for the cleaning equipment, brooms, mop were left laying around & there is no washing line, to save power on drying clothes, a must with a pool near. wasp nests under outside chairs, which is common during summer especially with tea tree about. We had to kill 3 medium sized nests to ensure our children weren’t stung while swimming. swimming pool was warm most of the stay? I’m unsure if that was due to the sun? or wether the water is luke warm?
ease of access to all the facilities the home has to offer. ability to utilise pool & spa facilities on demand the house was well equipped and tidy, large space for relaxation away from the kids. pool was a winner! spa pool even more so.

New ZealandNo issues with the house at all - everything was perfect.
The house was immaculate! We were allowed to bring our friends dog. Outside areas, pool, BBQ and hot tub were amazing too! Everything was wonderfully looked after and it was a little oasis away from any hustle and bustle, but close enough to the popular beaches that you can drive.
