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.).

Great little cottage, modern, super clean and comfortable. Very private. Perfect location - close to everything. And cute animals (dog, chickens and pigs) as a bonus.

New ZealandThat I didn't stay any longer!
Everything, and I mean everything, including, for instance, a cheese slicer, was provided, except meals. The little house had a sizeable fridge/freezer which assisted us tremendously in enabling us to be self-sufficient over the week we stayed. The place was very well insulated and therefore most comfortable during the warmer weather.

United StatesI came here after not sleeping well for a bit and needing to get something in kerikeri and waipapa. It was halfway between them. The owner and everyone there was nice and I slept for 15 hours, the place was so quiet. The location seemed like a warm microclimate. There are heaps of orange trees. Then when I asked the owner to drive me to keri he helped me out immediately! The place was also clean.

AustraliaThere was traffic noise especially in the morning. The fridge was very noisy and did not sleep well because of the noise. The sofa was very low and soft and once I sat down was difficult to get up again.I am short but would be very difficult far a tall person. The TV did not tilt enough to watch from the bed.That would have been helpful.
The setup was very nice and the lady who took me around was very helpful.The kitchen and bathroom setup was good.

New ZealandThe photos advertised were exceptionally misleading and did not capture the facitilies we encountered. Photos should be updated and labelled so that future guests know which photos pertain to which rooms as we were expecting facilities similar to that shown but did not get them.
The location was convenient and the animals were a treat. The owner was friendly too.

New ZealandLocation a bit hard to find as it's on the main busy road. Best to carry on from the Kerikeri turn off and then turn around further up Hy 10 for safety reasons. This is just a suggestion to help others.
Nice welcome on arrival. Friendly staff and other guests were interesting and friendly also. Loved the animals and especially Nica, the older dog. Good conversations with the staff and Inga is helpful. Good for city folk to stay in the countryside for a nice breakaway.
